Anyone else had a look at the list?

The top 20 is:

2. I Can't Get No Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
3. Imagine - John Lennon
4. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
5. Respect - Aretha Franklin
6. Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
7. Johnny B Good - Chuck Berry
8. Hey Jude - The Beatles
9. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
10. What'd I Say - Ray Charles

16. I Want to Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
17. Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
18. Maybellene - Chuck Berry
19. Hound Dog - Elvis Presley

Some other interesting observations:

- only about 60 songs from the 80's made the list.
- Van Halen had 0 songs on the list, The Ramones and the Sex Pistols both made the cut with a couple of songs each.
- 117 out of 500 are Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones or Beatles tracks.

Jeezus the Rolling Stone lists are absolutely awful.
Their 100 top guitarists list was terrible.
Their 500 best albums of all time was worse.
And from the looks of the top 20, their 500 best songs will be worse.

It's way to geared toward pop, but that's just my thoughts...

I don't agree with a lot of them, but they do at least have some credibility.

I think with this one they got about 170 artists, record company execs and industry experts and compiled the results.

only two hendrix songs in the top 100 :? :?

PARRA_FAN · Nov 20, 2004

If Ramones got in the list then surely Van Halen shouldve.

Jump, Panama, Dreams were one of the best hits.

And Jimi Hendrix shouldve at least 6 in the top 50: Foxy Lady, Hey Joe, Purple Haze, All along the watchtower, Voodoo Chilie.

Does anyone have the full list?

Sheros los Deros · Nov 20, 2004

The trouble with these types of songs is that in the end familiarity breeds boredom.

My list of top songs probably includes less frequently played songs that grow on you in time. I only listen to my favourite song infrequently in the fear that my love of them will diminish if play them too many times.
