The Word's newest tournament seeks to find out what the greatest song of all time is...
How do we find the greatest song of all time?
Well, "greatest" is certainly an subjective term, it's different to each and every person. So, to make things fair we've taken the 64 greatest songs from Rolling Stone's definitive 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list and ranked them into four division seeded 1-16. The four greatest songs on Rolling Stone's list are the four number one seeds and so on and so forth.
All of this means if your favorite song isn't in this tournament (and mine, in fact, isn't) blame Rolling Stone.
