Readers’ Rock List: Songs About Girls

9/21/09, 3:40 pm EST

Last week, in honor of Megan Fox, America’s Sexiest Bad Girl, gracing the new issue of Rolling Stone, we asked our readers to tell us their favorite Songs About Girls. We kept things on a first name basis, and while songs dedicated to the likes of Sheena, Jane, Billie Jean and Nikki all made the Rock List, it was the classic Beatles’ ode to a girl named Prudence that received the most votes. Sadly, no tracks about “Megan” made the final cut. Check out the full list below:

1. The Beatles – “Dear Prudence”
2. The Ramones – “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker”
3. Derek and the Dominos – “Layla”
4. The Rolling Stones – “Angie”
5. The Beatles – “Eleanor Rigby”
6. The Kinks – “Lola”
7. The Ramones – “Judy Is A Punk”
8. The Velvet Underground – “Sweet Jane”
9. Guns N’ Roses – “My Michelle”
10. John Lennon – “Oh Yoko”
11. Jane’s Addiction – “Jane Says”
12. Bruce Springsteen – “Rosalita”
13. Prince – “Darling Nikki”
14. Michael Jackson – “Billie Jean”
15. Kings of Leon – “Molly’s Chambers”

I feel like someone needs to point out the glaringly obvious. “Lola” is not a song about a girl. It is about a transvestite.

still find it hilarious you did not include Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady” to this since you mentioned it in your initial story. Oh well, just proves no one actually knows how to write at RS.

hey stoopid | 9/22/2009, 8:36 pm EST

Foxy Lady didn’t qualify.

hey stoopid | 9/22/2009, 8:37 pm EST

Isn’t it Foxey Lady anyway?
