Pink Floyd's Only No. 1 Hit Joins Stones, Talking Heads on Greatest-Songs Lists — 6dA trio of influential rock tracks is highlighted for how their openings and production shaped pop culture: Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 was expanded by Bob Ezrin into a disco-infused, choir-backed hit; The Rolling Stones’ Sympathy for the Devil is celebrated for its boldly narrated opening line and historical storytelling; Talking Heads’ Once in a Lifetime is spotlighted for its innovative production with Brian Eno and its sermon-like, introspective lyrics despite modest chart success.

Chris Dalton Once in a Lifetime never charted big but you can't go to a party without someone doing the "same as it ever was" arm move, that's real cultural impact right there.
