This song feels more like a soundtrack to a commercial than a real song. It starts slower than I thought, with some cool spacey bowie-esque effects in the background, but it gets a touch repetitive in the first three minutes.
... it then picks up at the 3:30 minute mark and pick up the energy
... and then the high energy gets a little repetitive.
At 6 mins, it's about 2 minutes too long.

OK with it being in the top 500: yes

I love David Bowie and know that at least one of his songs needs to be in the 500 but I can think of at least 5 different songs that I consider much better than "Heroes" (and it's not just because Ewan Mcgregor completely ruined it.)Life on Mars?, The Man Who Sold the World, Moonage Daydream, Cygnet Committee, and Starman. Not to put down "Heroes" either. Great song. Just not the best.
