Didn't they do one of those last year? Its like every year there is a new top 500 of all time. What just because more songs came out they have to be added?
#256 Paranoid Android - Radiohead #376 Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead #425 William, It Was Really Nothing - The Smiths
This list is wayyyyy too American. Psh. At least they didn't put "Creep" on there. I probably would have torn my hair out.
I find it funny though that they consistently rank Radiohead as the BAST BAND EVAR OMG!!1!11 and OK Computer as the BEST CD EVAR OMG!!1!! and there are only two Radiohead songs on thsi list, both in the bottom half. Poo on Rolling Stone.
PS: More Than a Feeling at #500?!?! BULLSHIT. Best song of all time, IMO.
PS: I'm really angry that Hey ya!! is considered a "better" song than any of the ones I already mentioned. Rolling Stone has officially become the most ignorant music publication out there.
i used to love rolling stone... but it's been going downhill for the past four or five years. some of these selections are just awful.
for instance: i love the beatles. but the sheer volume of beatles songs is a little bit offputting. we all know they were great songwriters and all...and the selections of the actual beatles songs were iffy.
a lot of songs i expected to see, i didn't. only one madonna song? oh i have so many rants about this. but anyhow.
The fact is that this 500 greatest songs list was NOT by Rolling Stone, it was by 172 voters ranking their 50 favorite songs of all times. 2103 songs were nominated, and 500 most popular made the list. Voters include many artists of different backgrounds (a girl from the Donnas, Ozzy, Joni Mitchell, Jeff Tweedy from Wilco to name a few) as well as music producers, historians, managers, etc. All the details were in the magazine last November when it came out (I bought it.)
I'm glad Radiohead atleast made it on there, but they have songs that are way better than that. If they would have put Creep on there I would have FLIPPED.
i love your icon it should flash and say something like "someone needs to fatally shoot you" or something we should all be glad that shitty cent isnt on the list... at least i dont think he is god i hope he isnt
maradeathWTF, do all the asshats in the music world work for Rolling Stone????? — 7th-Apr-2005 03:32 pm (UTC)
306 - The Jam Thats Entertainment * this is refreshing because they are one of the greatest English bands ever!
Although, Sinead O'Connor is NOT, and shouldn't made this list. Do people over there even realize she DIDN'T WRITE THIS SONG. Prince baby, Prince.
And I love how they picked THE most worn out Smiths song of all time, How Soon is Now to list.....Rolling Stone never impresses me with their selections.

People have different musical tastes as you. All 500 selections aren't bound to be perfect in your eyes, it doesn't mean they are "asshats"(btw most annoying word ever, right after "teh").

*yawn*
Are you chasing after everyone that has complaints??? Or do you find me special for some reason?
Last time I checked people are entitled to their opinions, me voicing mine shouldn't be an issue with you, because after all, just like you said, people have different musical tastes!

Walk the Line is probably my favorite out of them, but I have been obsessed with Johnny Cash since I was little.
