252. Caravan by Van Morrison
Year Released: 1970

253. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Year Released: 1975

Nominated by Dylan from DC (Music Director 2003-2004) who says: Just because it’s a bit overplayed now doesn’t mean its not an incredible song. Just try not to sing along.

256. Fearless by Pink Floyd
Year Released: 1971
Released On: Meddle
Nominated by Kara who says: Ethereal. You feel like you could fly when you hear this. Also, Meddle was gifted to me years ago by a friend who warned me, most emphatically, never to listen to “Echoes” while driving. By association, when I hear “Fearless”, I think of that and it makes me smile.
257. Mississippi by Bob Dylan
Year Released: 2001
Released On: Love and Theft
Nominated by John in Murphysboro, Illinois who says: Bob Dylan says goodbye in the most beautiful way imaginable.
258. The End (of a Rainbow) by Earl Grant

259. No Surrender by Bruce Springsteen
Year Released: 1986
Released On: Born in the U.S.A.
Nominated by DJ Starling of Bump in the Night.
260. Warm Leatherette by The Normal
Year Released: 1978
Released On: T.V.O.D. / Warm Leatherette
Nominated by Rick Re:Action who says: A single the is singular in so many ways. Inspirational and dark. Essentially a solo project by the head/president of Mute Records (this single is MUTE001). The only other physical document of this act is a live split release. This single is untouchable and leaves this act with a perfect track record. The Grace Jones cover of this one is pretty fantastic as well.
