If you missed part one click here, otherwise, welcome back to the wild and interesting take of a two children and a man nearing a midlife crisis. Together we've attacked the Rolling Stones 500 Best Songs list and retailored it to our liking. We are now in a part of the list where everything was genuinely enjoyed by all parties. Some at the top earned a B from one person but around 60 it's all A performances. No better way to start off this list than with some Jazz. I'll interject with some fun conversations, but for the most part, I'll give the original rank and our rating.
100. "A Love Supreme-Pt. 1 Acknowledgement"-John Coltrane
Original Rank: 315
Average Rating: A-
What Was Said: Crosby is a big fan of instrumentals and I appreciate what's happening. Max had the hardest time with it, but acknowledged that it was pretty good.
99. "Crazy"-Gnarls Barkley
Original Rank: 307
Average Rating: A-
98. "Closer"-Nine Inch Nails
Original Rank: 270

What Was Said: This was not played in full at all. I did play them the instrumental part at the end. They liked that. I'm also not sure how no one stopped me from watching this music video religiously in the mid-90s.
97. "Don't Stop Believin'"-Journey
