Rather than turn this into my own original post, maybe even do a few minutes of research on the Web, I thought better of it.

Using the wisdom of all present, I wonder if we can come up with a list of the top most archetypal songs of all time. I even wonder if some of the songs I presume are archetypal are actually based on some more obscure song. Maybe we can narrow it down to the <em>top 10 or 20<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Off the top of my head, some songs that might qualify for this would be: Be My Baby, Taxman and You Can\u2019t Hurry Love, just for starters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh Mighty Orockle, can you help us answer this question\u2014and others, if it&#8217;s not too much bother?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wisdom of The Hall continues to amaze me.
