THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
647-Van Halen-Jump.
1984-Number 7 single.
Best Bit-At 3.34.We’ve already enjoyed a kickass guitar solo and a kickass keyboard solo and now hidden away right at the end of the song a guitar riff to die for.
The guitar riff wasn’t wasted because in 1991 Van Halen used it again to form the basis for their Billboard top 30 single ‘Top Of The World.’The synthesizer used on ‘Jump’ was a point of contention in the band,Eddie Van Halen wanted to use it,but David Lee Roth thought it would look like they were selling out to get more radio play.Using a synthesizer instead of a guitar as the lead instrument was a huge departure for Van Halen,this ultimately led to Roth leaving the band.
‘Ah,can’t you see me standin’ here i got my back against the record machine.’

1973-Number 9 single.
Best Bit-At 0.55 While appearing on the legendary American music television programme ‘Soul Train’ The O’Jays were asked if the song was inspired by ‘Soul Train,’they replied ‘yes’ but of course they were just being nice.
Another Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff Philadelphia records classic,(T.S.O.P.) The O’Jays originally formed while still at high school back in 1958 taking there name in tribute to Cleveland radio disc jockey ‘Eddie O’Jay,’ but it wasn’t until 1972 when signing with the Philadelphia International record label that they achieved their great success.

649-Slade-Cum On Feel The Noize.
1973-Number 1 single.
Best Bit-At 0.01 Three very noizy baby’s.
The song’s introduction of Noddy Holder shouting ‘baby baby baby’ had just been a microphone test and was not intended for the finished recording.
In the 1970s Slade tried and failed to be a success in the States.It wasn’t until American Rock band Quiet Riot covered ‘Cum On Feel The Noize’ in 1983,taking the song to Number 5 on Billboard and selling over 1 Million copies that Slade received recognition and finally achieved a top 20 single with ‘Run Runaway’ in 1984.
