I really like this list. I think I like it better than the list VH1 put out five or so years ago. Rolling Stone avoided a lot of the cliches, and added some truly amazing and underappreciated songs. I'm especially happy to see stuff like In My Life, Gimme Shelter, The Weight, and Norwegian Wood which didn't even make VH1's list.

So, discuss!

More to a song than lyrics, gotta give them a spot based on the catchiness of the rifts and the fact that it was a song that defined a whole culture/generation/whatever

I liked it, until I realized that Pink Floyd wasn't mentioned until 314 with Comfortably Numb. That is just inexcusable. Rod Stewart is ranked higher with Do Ya Think I'm Sexy.

I looked over the 500. It's a joke. Hendrix has songs way better than Purple Haze. Smells like Teen Spirit being 9 is a joke too. Seriously. Folsom Prison Blues is way to low too.

Of course, this is all subjective.


But that list is still laughable.

Then you can start to make it better.

Hey jude, don’t be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey jude, don’t let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,
You’re waiting for someone to perform with.
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey jude, you’ll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey jude, don’t make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you’ll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...

I rather like this song.

Hey, he took one line from Smells Like Teen Spirit so I took one from Hey Jude. I thought that was how we judge a song's lyrics?

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It’s fun to lose
And to pretend
She’s overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

What is this song all about?
Can’t figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you’d tell me, I don’t know
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know...

Now I’m mumblin’ and I’m screamin’
And I don’t know what I’m singin’
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin’
I still don’t know what I’m singin’
We’re so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Yeah

It’s unintel-ligible
I just can’t get it through my skull
It’s hard to bargle nawdle zouss(? )
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know...

Well, we don’t sound like madonna
Here we are now, we’re nirvana
Sing distinctly? we don’t wanna
Buy our album, we’re nirvana
A garage band from seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet’s so hard to find
What are the words? oh, nevermind
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know...

Well, I’m yellin’ and we’re playin’
But I don’t know what I’m sayin’
What’s the message I’m conveyin’?
Can you tell me what I’m sayin’?
So have you got some idea?
Didn’t think so -- well, I’ll see ya
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, odinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaaah!

Yeah like FR said, Pink Floyd isn't even on until 314 or something, these lists are far too subjective.

Also, I love the Who, but in terms of greatest songs ever written, My Generation is a shitty choice. Even if you're going for a big nameed song, "Who Are You" Or "Baba O'Reilley" are MUCH better choices, and everyone STILL knows them.

Although, to be fair, Floyd is better appreciated on an album-by-album, rather than song-by-song basis.
