Nirvana got #1 :D Great song..

1 question: WTF is Eminem doing at no. 4?

I would ask the same thing.. especially:

What is Nelly's "Hot in Herre" doing on that list at all... :shakehead

I like rap, but I think that list shouldn't have included ANY from the last 3-5 years.

from wut i see those are all singles so im pretty sure its just sales... otherwise thats pretty dumb =\

how can u measure the greatness of a song?

with your opinion. facts don't play a role in preference.

I disagree with a lot of the list, but meh. They should have the 100 greatest songs from the past 50 years :D

I was just talking about this list with Stonecutter last night.

I think it's awful, but it is hard to make these all-in-one lists I suppose.

I have so many issues with that list that I won't even bother to post them...

I just have two words... BON JOVI??????

Re: 100 Greatest Songs from the Past 25 Years
 

Every time another list comes out I have to make another decision on who the worst listmakers are.

Is it VH1

Or TV guide

both are awful

but the list does have one redeeming quality.


Best. Keyboard. Riff. Ever.

It's VH1, what'd you expect?

EDIT: And, Stoney C. is right about Journey.

To these, I would add two more words...Britney Spears????

lol, Britney isn't all that bad... I liked her preformance at the VMAs (years ago)... and er, I have liked all of her recent videos, can't say that I like many of her songs, but nice videos. Um, yeah...

*slowly backs away from thread*

You mean the one where she stripped down to a bunch of skin-colored clothes and stupid people thought she was actually almost naked?

You sure this list doesn't have to do anything with popularity, and not a panel of people picking the songs?

Hmm... They left out a lot of jazz tunes... Wait a minute, there aren't any Jazz songs on that! That is horrible. And they left out a lot of classical music as well... Those bastards.
