My Mood:  SL Join Date: September 2010 Client: Current v.3 & Catznip | What would you choose as the greatest song(s) of all time? A little while back I came upon the list of the 500 greatest songs of all time published by Rolling Stone (it's from earlier last decade so it might be a bit dated now). The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time : Rolling Stone I admit I didn't get past the first 200 songs but nevertheless I got a good idea of what people chose. It got me to thinking what would I have choose for it. Well I haven't been able narrow it done to just 1 but here's the ones I came up with (also the song listed for number 1 would very possibly have came to mind, although not the Bob Dylan version, The Rolling Stones version). Meatloaf - Bat Of Out Hell Joe Jackson - Real Men Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb All songs from before I was born, however I'm the type that is into songs from various decades anyway. So, what would yours have been?

Wibble!
| Dear Sir Why oh why does this list insist on missing out such intarwebz classics as "We like tha mooon" or the culturally impacting ditty "The Internet is for Porn". Also, I demand you explain your exclusion of Lonely Islands (feat Akon) "I just had sex" as it is a song I love to sing - and one I would like to sing a lot more often. Thank you Yours Sincerely Brigadier Geoffrey Shuttlecock III (Ret), Mrs

My Mood: SL Join Date: September 2010 Client: Current v.3 & Catznip | Shiloh, I'm gonna take a crazy guess that you're a Meatloaf fan. I found the list disappointing myself as well, clearly of all time means nothing before the 1940s! I saw Smells Like Teen Spirit at #9 and felt like running!  I mean the song is alright but not that good!But the list just got me considering what people would consider the greatest song of all time, perhaps it was a bit of disappointment at the list as well, very mainstream and my choices are as well but I have found sometimes amazing songs are not the ones released as singles or even noticeable on the charts.

I think they compiled the list from polling music critics and musicians. I remember being nauseated that Nirvana was in the top ten. "Kashmir" - Led Zeppelin would reign #1 on my own list but ranks only #140 on theirs. |

| I don't agree with all the choices on the list, but reading over them, some of them jog a bit of memory - I think of where I was when I was listening to that song and /BAM/ it's like I'm back there. Music. The ultimate time machine.

Business: Black Operations Client: Singularity | Springsreen's Jungleland has to be at the top of my list, but as a former sax player, I'm biased. And I have to second the complaint about the recent-ism. It is completely unacceptable to have a list of greatest songs that does not put Robert Johnson somewhere in the top five. No, seriously, everyone who submitted their votes to Rolling Stone without Robert Johnson on their list should have a court ordered restriction orohibiting them from ever touching a guitar again. (although I prefer Hellhound on my Trail to Crossroads Blues) Seriously, dude sold his soul to the devil for guitar lessons, but that's not enough for Rolling Stone? And who on Earth nominated Smells Like Teen Spirit, a song that Cobain himself wrote as a joke and hated, as number 9? Seriously? Then again, the answer to that is probably the type of person the song is about. And, ah, Kashmir was 140th? What the fuck were they smoking? Or not smoking, perhaps? And while Satisfaction isn't bad, it's nowhere near the Stones' best, so there's no reason to put it so high above Sympathy for the Devil and Gimme Shelter.
