back2basics- Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 Personaly i think the list is a joke, back street boys in the top ten.. sod off.Briney spears 25.. shut up.. i think the rolling stone people had one to many 8 ball before compiling this list. I dont understand how 5 editors of Roling stone can come up with this list, without pay off's or some motive.1 The Beatles Yesterday 2 The Rolling Stones (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction 3 Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit 4 Madonna Like a Virgin 5 Michael Jackson Billie Jean 6 The Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand 7 Aretha Franklin Respect 8 U2 With or Without You 9 The Jackson 5 I Want You Back 10 The Backstreet Boys I Want It That Way..25 Britney Spears ...Baby One More Time full list http://www.rollingstone.com/sections/special/pop100/default.asp?afl=msnc#middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jprutig Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 what an awful list------------------you can judge the quality and content of one's character by the way they treat someone that can do nothing for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwingep Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 Okay I do agree that the Beatles should OWN the #1 category, but Yesterday? Great song, but not the #1 from them. But it isone of the most listenable songs by them that spans the audience listening level, non fans and true fans alike can enjoy that song.I do agree with some of those songs though...they are all songs that changed music in some way or another but...Backstreet Boys? WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?Hit me Spears?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!Crack is bad!!!- Pete ------------------------------------------ [This message has been edited by schwingep (edited 11-22-2000).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa_boy Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 a pretty average attempt @ what would bne a difficult thing to compile.......I just did a quick scan but are OPP by Naughty by Nature & the eminem track the only rap tracks in the list? ------------------ I'm dreaming of a white christmas------------------------> boa_boy@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfiorellino Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 The Eagles "Hotel California" should have been number one but what the hell do I know. As far as the Backstreet Boys being on that list, I find that revolting. They're not even a real group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfiorellino Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 It's good to see somebody else here has excellent taste in music. But what lyrics are you quoting in your reply? They're not to "Hotel California". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargurl Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 my quote is from "back you up" by Dave Matthew's Band...I should give them credit shouldn't I...I'll have to go fix that, thanks! ------------------"i remember thinking i'll go on forever knowing i'll see you again....but i know the touch of you is hard to remember, but like that touch i know no other...and for sure we have danced in the risk of each other, would you like to dance around the world with me?"

mikey_m Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 This is very brilliant......how could a magazine that is so popular and been around so long even think for a second that this ridiculous list would do anything but piss everyone off......if anything, they should break it into genres because then the songs are actually in competition with each other.......how can you compare a Beatles track from the 60s to an Eminem track from the 90s?? Diff recording equipment, different fanbases, etc, etc......What a fucking joke......Mikey------------------Room to dance?....Oh..I will take that..thank you...
