Instead of going onesy twosy, check out this site:
Billboard Top 100. It has lists of the top 100 hits for each year from 1950 to 2009.
smart!
"hits" all suck, though.

I'd have to disagree with you there. Sure there's a lot of pap in those lists. But 65 to 75 they still got a lot of good music on the airwaves.
Seriously, there is more to music than rock. Just because something is called "pop" doesn't mean it's any worse or better than "rock" which is just another name for a type of music with widespread appeal to certain groups.

Thanks. Thing is, I want a little more personal input. Something may have been big, but it may not be what people remember -especially when we're talking about music to work out to...
Monster, check out James Gang's "Walk away" or "Funk 49." It may feel like a 90's beer commercial, but I think they made some of the best music.
