Pink Floyd – Comfortably NumbĪnother wonderfully guitar heavy song to make the list is the psychedelic, progressive rock song Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. Being the number one song from the band, Hotel California makes it to number 9 on this list. Instead, the song is about the journey from innocence to experience in the Los Angeles high life. Is it about satanic ritual? What about the consequences of drug use? Well, according to Don Henley, neither of those are quite true. Holding the title of the song with the single best guitar solo ever (according to both the BBC and Guitarist Magazine) this Grammy winning song has some of it’s popularity as a result of the mystery surrounding the lyrics.

As a result, it has made it to number 10 on this list, and in 2013 had also made it on as Billboard’s Top 10 of all time in the same position. This song had the honor of being the longest of not only any Beatles song, but the longest to make it to the top of the British Charts, and also carried a long standing record as tied for the longest run hit on U.S. Harking from what many consider to be the golden era of modern music, this Beatles hit originally started out as a song of consolation for John Lennon’s son Julian (who was facing the divorce of his parents) by Paul McCartney. Factors included in this ranking include record sales, critical acclaim, and cultural relevance. Here, we take a look at which ten songs can be marked as the most popular of all time. With millions of records sold, and more likely than not several billion listens, the top ten most popular songs of all time have likely been the soundtracks of many moments throughout millions of lives. The Beatles, The Eagles, Bob Dylan and Queen are among the most recognizable names in all the music world.
