Frank’s Roots Rock’n’
In 1996, Frank re-ordered Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Top 500 Songs of All-Time List” to his liking. He then had Mikee download all of the songs on the list and add them to the mix on his internet station, LUVeR.com.
Here's his top 50! (There's a link to a .pdf of the entire list below)
