[Anonymous]

Backstreet Boys is 23... Britney is at 36.

Way too many 60s songs. Obviously most of the people who had a say in this list are baby boomers and are biased in their opinion of the best songs.

Pretty good list, good to see that they give credit to alot of influential artists and their songs, rather then just going on whats sold the most records. Only one Metallica song is pretty sad, i can't stand them as a band, but they are THE most influential metal band of all time. Plenty of Stones, Beatles and Dylan, which is good too. plus...

I Want You Back
The Jackson 5

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Are you serious? Please tell me you aren't. I'm only 20 but at least I understand and realise that without Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden etc. Metallica wouldn't have even existed. Influential band? Yes. Most influential metal band ever? pfffft.

I agree with the first too, however, Frenzal Rhomb??? :? :-k I think Rolling Stone made a worthy omission in their case.

The Message
Grandmaster Flash
1982

Only rap song in the top 100. No Wutang, 2Pac, Biggie, Dr. Dre, PE, KRS, dam.....But they got the Mamas and the Papas tho........????????????????


Bring the Noise
Public Enemy
1988


Should have been in the top 100

248
Rappers Delight
The Sugarhill Gang
1979


as should this



287

Walk This Way
Run-D.M.C.
1986


and this.

Other than that, PE got another mention, Eric B & Rakim, Eminem got a couple, 2Pac, Dr. Dre, the Beasties, NWA. Yeah I can see the Dre influence.

Only one I dont agree with is Outkast. Hey Ya is probably the worst, and dare I say it, WACKEST hiphop/rnb track I have heard. Worst than Nelly. Worse than Just Lose It. Worse than MC Hammer or Marky Mark. I sorta agree with that list tho. 1.

That might be because it's about as close to hip hop/r&b as Toxic by Britney Spears.

I'm not going to say too much about the list except that it warms my heart to see Johnny B. Goode up so high

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

frenzal are a great ozzy band, dont take no crap from no one
still, the list was pitiful. welcome to the jungle was like down at 480 odd, its way better than that

 

[Nuke]

Bohemian Rhapsody at #163?
What a load of bullplop. In my (and a LOT of other people's) opinion, it would have to be number 1, or at worst in the top 3.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

I think the songs were chosen by their importance and influence on modern music, not if the bands that sung them 'took no crap from no one' or not...
