This sound like fun, but I'd have to put alot of thought into it as well.

Popular songs of the rock era/since the 1950's, I assume? Otherwise this could get REALLY, REALLY sticky.
(A too-long list of contenders, in no particular order, as they occur to me):

Beatles - "Happiness Is a Warm Gun"
Kinks - "Waterloo Sunset"
Beach Boys - "God Only Knows"
Smokey Robinson - "You've Really Got a Hold On Me"
Flying Burrito Brothers - "Hot Burrito #1 (I'm Your Toy)"
John Cale - "Paris, 1919"
Public Enemy - "Fight the Power"
Patsy Cline - "Crazy"
Hank Williams - (pick one)
Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Fortunate Son"
Black Sabbath - "War Pigs"
Toots & the Maytalls - "Pressure Drop"
Jimmy Cliff - "The Harder They Come"
Brinsley Schwarz - "JuJu Man"
Nick Lowe - "Cruel To Be Kind"
Thelonious Monk - "Round Midnight"
Miles Davis - "Freddy Fereloader"
Nick Drake - "Poor Boy"
are also near the top

Looks like Listmania 2 isn't on the CMJ archive anymore. Bah.

My top 100 in a somewhat-smooth-transition order (Just pick your faves from it, Timis).

Two of my choices, more to come later:

1. Wouldn't It Be Nice - Beach Boys
2. Box #10 - Jim Croce

There are more, but those were the two instant ones that came to mind.

If I had any VU song on my list, I think it would be:
"Stephanie Says"

Reminds me that there's a noticable absence of Curtis Mayfield in this thread:
"People Get Ready"
"It's All Right"
"Move On Up"
all could make my list on any given day.
