Title: Vh1 top 100 of the 90's list
Post by: TrueRock&Roll on December 21, 2007, 10:47:06 PM
Gn'R didn't make this list?  How the hell did November Rain not make it?  That was a huge song and video back then.  That completely blows my mind that it didn't make the top 100 list.  Usually they make it on lists like this.  Just very surprising.

This is total and utter b.s.  I voted for that song over 1,000 times.  You can't tell me with that many votes that I couldn't have singlehandedly gotten that song on to the top 100.  I think there is a conspiracy going on.

I can understand not being a fan of GN'R, but seriously.  There are 100 songs legitimately better than November Rain?

Not if the list includes Achy Breaky Heart.

Didn't it make it to No. 3 on the charts?

Apparently, the list was fan by fan-polling online, but I fail to believe that the vast majority of the songs on this list had more votes than 'November Rain' did. It had to be EASILY top 5. #1 was 'Smells like Teen Spirit', #2 was "One", and # 3 was "I Want It That Way" by Back Street Boys?!? I can see 1 and 2, but c'mon...

Sorry dude.  "Mmm Bop" was a smash and deserves to be on the list.  It should actually be higher than 20, but I like everyone else here am flabergasted that "November Rain" didn't make the top 100.  Especially when songs like The Presidents of the United States of America's "Peaches" and Fastball's "The Way" are on there.  And if I'm not mistaken "Ice Ice Baby is one of the... if not THE highest selling rap song of all time.  Should be higher than 29.  The list is a joke and just shows that the people who run things over there are idiots.  I get that people voted on songs, but these are obvios errors that needed to be addressed.

Anyone who actually takes VH1 or MTV seriously these days has bigger problems than GN'R not making a worthless list.

I would've thought "november rain" would've made the list.... it is bullshit.

also silverchair's "tomorrow" should've made the list.... it was the #1 most played song in modern rock in 1995... and that's not an achievement????

and radiohead's "karma police"....  ???

i can come up with 300 other songs that are much better than the shit they posted....

I remember back in 98 or 99, MTV aired it's last top 100 videos show....which was the top 100 videos of the '90's and November Rain was #1....with Smells Like Teen Spirit at #2. 

Whoever was in charge of this Vh1 top 100 must have a vandetta against GNR or something.  And Hanson's MMMbop at #20??  What a joke!  That song would make it in my top 10 worst songs of all time.

The voting in the polls at VH1 account for absolutely nothing. It is a waste of time; corporate whores make the decisions there, e.g., The Dixie Chicks.

MTV sucks (what kind of a music television hardly ever shows any MUSIC videos!?), and we don't get VH1 where I live.

I'm not a big fan of top 100 lists of any kind. I just saw a top-something list of this year's biggest celebrity news and events etc, and there were just pictures of various female stars looking very pregnant and bloated. Yeah, that's BIG news! Nothing happened this year except that some people decided to have children (and then go swimming in a bikini to have their picture taken for the magazines)?! :o

VH1.com has a 101-150 list of songs that barely missed the top 100 and NR isn't even on that list either.

calm down!!! It seems like th list is strictly 90's GN'R was around before and defiantly after. And if the list contains Hanson consider yourself spared.

Even "Oh My God" is better than the majority of songs they had.  Wasted 5 hours watching the whole thing just waiting for the part where they would talk about Guns N' Roses....and nothing.

Post by: HoldenCaulfield on December 23, 2007, 02:43:09 AM
Yeah, about that CD reference. They were talking about Lauryn Hill and some British singer/song writer they had commenting, I think his name was Ben Lee or Ben Harper, something. Anyway, they were talking about how brilliant she was and how they wanted a new solo album from her and he said "Fingers crossed we get it before "Chinese Democracy""...

The biggest thing that bothers me about this list is that it's not just something Vh1 made up. It was voted on by fans and I'm shocked that no one at least considered NR to be one of the best of the 90s

So they mention Chinese Democracy but no gnr songs make the list?  :D ;D That's... Actually I don't have a word to describe what it is.  :smoking:
Well, at least they mentioned it!

I agree... The Presidents are Great... but November Rain should have been on the list if they were.

Nin's "closer" is not even on this list. And im pretty sure VH1 just had a similar special where fans voted for best video of the 90's and Closer was number 1.

or he could have just gone to VH1.com, they have all their lists on the site.

November rain def should have been on there. 

it was funny watching this show - the 90s was just ALL OVER THE PLACE with types of music, different sounds.

I think I'll be throwing up a little in my mouth when they show the top 100 songs of the 2000s...   So many shitty songs.

I thought November Rain was going to make the top 5.  I can not stand that Whitney Houston song.  She is a crack head now and her fans are stronger the GNR fans?  I don't get it.  I thought the VR fans would atleast vote for Slash Matt, and Duff.  Do the VR fans hate GNR?  Or are there any VR fans out there.  I just think GNR fans got screwed again and this was not Axl's doing.  I think we should start a petition that November Rain should have been on that list and lets see how strong this GNR family really is.

Also NIN and Manson should have been in the top 20.  That music changed my life more then grunge did.  Hanson and that big butt song you laugh at when they come on.  November Rain, one, Closer you stop and say to yourself damn this is great music.
