They can also be the soundtrack to our own lives. Here are the 1001 most fundamental Pop/ Rock songs ever recorded- the popular, the influential and historic milestones since rock 'n roll made inroads in the Fifties. * The only songs excluded are seasonal & charity discs (so no We are the World" or "Do They Know It's Christmas?") .
