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

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

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.

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.

It's VH1, what'd you expect?

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

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.
