Mike Riccio and Alan Sniffen and others compile this list voted by oldies enthusiasts every year. The results vary, but Hey Jude by the Beatles has been #1 almost every year this survey has been compiled. The only Bob Dylan song that made the Top 100 was Like a Rolling Stone that came in at #29. I appreciate the efforts that Mike and Alan and others put into compiling this list every year.
