Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs List • Page 4

How is there not a single Bon Iver song. "Skinny Love" and "Holocene" are fucking layups.

 

I've had this thought too and had a similar thought when What's Going On topped the recently re-done albums list

It makes sense when any large list like this is compiled from who knows how many ballots that certain types of songs/albums will rise to the top but it's interesting to see how what is considered "great" or "important" evolves (and what stuff gets left behind as a result)

 

Lists are weird with timing. I don't think i,i was as revered as the others. If they dropped the list within a year of FE breaking through or after BI,BI, I'd assume he'd have 1-2 on there (and probably high up)

 

as others have said ITT

looking at this list does make one think that indie rock in general has taken a hit in critical circles in recent years

 

Does Drake have the most songs there out of any other hip hop artist?

 

in terms of solo/lead artist appearances, yes

wild lol

 

Woah, Fall Out Boy made the list

 

was surprised to see them and no My Chem

I could see the argument that My Chem don't have that one crossover song as definitive (and thus could make a list like this) as "Sugar" though

 

Put "Murder Most Foul" on the list cowards

 

Another greatest of all time list, another Deftones snub smh

 

"thank you (falettinme be mice elf agin)" should be in the top ten tbh, so much great american music springs from people getting their minds destroyed by that song

maybe i've read too much greil marcus

 

isleys robbed too

 

This Old Heart of Mine is a top 10 song of all time and didn’t make the list either time!

 

Absolutely insane, lol

 

Anyone game to try the impossible challenge of coming up with their top 50/100 songs list? We had a favorite albums thread inspired by last year's Rolling Stone 500 albums list, so it might be fun to do something similar for songs. Tougher list to make, though!

Here's what we had going for albums:

I’m very mad that never meant by American football is not on this list

 

Every time I've tried to do a Favourite Song list, it just ends up basically being the same as my Favourite Albums lists, with one song representing the album, even though I do try and avoid it. I find it quite hard to think of favourite songs, without thinking of my favourite albums.

 

I will absolutely hate mine but yes, I’m down

 

Imagine listening to 'Pieholden Suite' or 'She's A Jar' or 'Via Chicago' and then thinking Heavy Metal Drummer is 'the' song

 

Who's up for a top 100 songs list?

 

The RS ballots were 50. But goddamn, a top 50 is hard. Do we want to do 100?

 

If Trina's "Do You Want Me?" isn't on there I'm not sure why I would engage

 

If we're gonna do this, let's do 50

 

omg
