Cherri Bomb up and above Echo And The Bunnymen in the Top 10 of the 100 Best Rock Songs List

This was a very difficult decision to make and took me almost three years. 

Now it's Cherri Bomb vs. Led Zeppelin and Carta Immense.

The songs are:

"Mirror Mirror", Cherri Bomb

"Four Sticks", Led Zeppelin

"Iglood Together", Carta Immense

Carta Immense's "Iglood Together" went to No. 1 on my list this year.

"Mirror Mirror" was #2 on my 2011 list, while "Iglood Together" was #1. However, now it's the 100 best rock songs list and I'm going to make the comparisons with all three songs.

The recent listens I did still keeps the Carta Immense song at #1 but I'm going to listen to those songs a few more times. 

I will finish updating the list for 2011 songs, then on to 2012 and 2013. And of course 2014 isn't over yet. 

It was rather difficult to decide whether "Mirror Mirror" could get by "Spin", both great songs, but it did today, as I've listened for the millionth time. Well, not that many but a lot. It gets really tough in the Top 10 because the musicians of Gentle Giant, Lyle Mays, and Echo & The Bunnymen are some of the best ever. Sure this is an opinion, but just listen to the songs "Empty City", "Slink", and "Pride". 

Delayed not stopped. More Rock!

Bruno Mars is #1 with his popular and huge hit "That's What I Like"

The sound of the song on his Official Video on YouTube was just as good or even better than the radio single. I like the songwriting, the music, and especially Bruno's great singing.

Filter's song "Take Me to Heaven" is No.1

This is my list based on my own listening and comparing songs. It was very close near the top and "Formation" pulled ahead of "Pillowtalk" though it almost went back the other way. Those top 3 songs especially are very well written songs with great music and singing. "Take Me to Heaven" was the best song in terms of songwriting and that was the difference.
