In honor of Jay Leno’s final night as host of The Tonight Show, and to prepare for Conan O’Brien’s debut later today, this weekend’s Rock List was dedicated to “Tonight Songs.” Dozens of evening-inspired song choices were cast, but the Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness stunner “Tonight, Tonight” took first place, probably because it used the theme of the Rock List twice in its title. Billy Corgan and whoever’s in the Pumpkins these days edged out the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Postal Service for the crown. For the full Readers’ Rock List, check the results below:
1. Smashing Pumpkins – “Tonight, Tonight”
2. The Beatles – “A Hard Day’s Night”
3. Spinal Tap – “Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight”
