</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Most
people probably feel that <i>All Things Must Pass</i> is George Harrison’s best

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">I’m
old enough and sad enough about the current state of affairs to have written
several dozen songs lamenting the way we seem to choose to live. But when
I hear <i><span style="color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ROK1-VvOQ0"><b><span style="color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;">The Pretender</span></b></a></span></i> by Jackson

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">The thing about lists is they are designed to create controversy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Witness Rolling Stone’s <span style="color: #4472c4;"><a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-singers-all-time-1234642307/"><b><span style="color: #4472c4;">200 Greatest Singers of All Time</span></b></a></span>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone’s going to have a grievance or
three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This one’s too low on the list,
that one’s too high. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And – especially,
it would seem, if you’re a Celine Dion fan – why isn’t <i>she</i> (or he) on
the list?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">But this list created a different problem for me, because for every <i>okay-I-get-it</i>
and <i>are-you-serious?</i> on the list there was also a <i>who?</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> </span></p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">In
the run up to Bob Dylan’s 80<sup>th</sup> birthday, there have been dozens of
articles offering praise, trivia and insights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As a fan, of course I read them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">One
of the more interesting tidbits I picked up was the notion that Dylan’s songs
are paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t have to

</p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">I
have a playlist called <i>Rock and Roll Heaven</i> (it’s short; about a hundred
songs). The other night when I was listening to it, the first three songs
that played were:</span></p>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Be My Lover</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> by Alice Cooper </span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">John Lennon’s cover of <i>Stand By
Me</i> </span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Permanent Waves</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> by The Kinks </span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Aside
from reminding me that the 70’s wasn’t all disco and prog wankarama, what do
they have in common? Well, if you made a Venn diagram of the three artists,
you’d find humour in the centre.</span></p>

just a bit of fun.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Mark Knopfler
is an incredible storyteller and gifted poet with a bagful of masterpieces, but
his absolute best song is <i><span style="color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QKudDL-aLA"><b><span style="color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;">Skateaway</span></b></a></span></i>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">If
Bruce Springsteen had done this song it would have been a number one hit and
would have entered the ranks of timeless, beloved anthems. Because it
tells you about how the best songs merge with your life – just like The Boss’s most
memorable songs do.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The
music makes <i>you </i>want to be the story, and the story is whatever is the
song.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Okay,
you can justifiably say that <span style="color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzy4R8EbWJ4"><b><span style="color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;">Please Mr. Postman</span></b></a></span> is just a formulaic,
lame pop song. But listen to John Lennon’s vocal on the Beatles version
and tell me it’s not heart-grippingly soulful.</span></p>
