AFI's 100 YEARS...100 SONGS

So the list was released last night. You can find the complete listing here. I agree with a lot of the songs, but I question a few of them and wonder how they ranked as high as they did. I find myself also wondering what exactly the criteria were used to rank these songs. I'll assume it was by a vote of the AFI members or something...

A quick glance and I discovered that the highest ranked most recent song is "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic at number 14. I guess I can understand that. "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky comes in at #58. I'm not sure how I feel about that one. And for those of you who were curious, Eminem's "Lose Yourself" from 8 Mile came in at #93, just slightly ahead of "Hakuna Matata" from the Lion King(#99).

Does anyone have a song they think should have made the list, or perhaps one that should have come in higher?
