Figures they'd put a Nirvana song in the top 25 but no GnR until well into the list  :drool:

November Rain and Estranged at least should have made the list too

Good to see some GN'R tunes in the list but Rolling Stone seems to have pretty poor taste compared to what I consider the greatest sonsg to be.

Rolling Stone doesn't know what they're doing on their charts.  I mean I like the mag. but they always have the worst charts, and then 6 months to a year later they come out with totally different opinions on the same chart.  I don't think they really know what they're doing there.

We all know how to take these lists. Who can honestly judge what the best top 500 songs are? Like a Rolling Stone is a great song, but the best song out of all rock songs? Come on. Satisfaction is a good song, but #2? It's all about taste. So these lists are just stupid.

Putting Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in such a high place says enough about the rest of the list.

CRAP!!!!!!

The first Guns song at such a low location is such bullshit. Rollin Stone magazine is really a stupid magazine. They even have teeny-bop snesations on its cover, how could they possible know what music is?

I think the list says more about the current state of RS than reflecting truly great tunes. Notice that in top 25, there are 20 or more of the songs released before 1970. RS is so out of date, it's a magazine for readers 45+ .

Well, at least Rolling Stone gave GnR some credit in the top 500 albums of all time, AFD came in at 61 out of 500

What a terrible list.  Smells Like Teen Spirit Number 9....Ridiculous.  That is one of the easiest guitar riffs ever written, it's easy to play, and the singing and lyrics aren't even that great.  Sweet Child O' Mine should be in the top 50 at least, while November Rain, Estranged, and Civil War should be in the top 500.  This was also the magazine (I believe) that did NOT have Slash in the top 100 guitarists of all time.  Go figure.

Well GNR didn't make the first 25 in the list but am i the only one that don't think the list sucks ?

Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who .... I'm just addicted to that ! Of course I miss Led Zep, or Queen, or hendrix ... but it's just a list ... Mine changes from one day to another !? :hihi:

Why in the hell was November Rain excluded from the top ten?! It's one of the greatest songs ever written.

I've seen some lists in my time, but this might well be the biggest pile of monkey crap I've ever seen.  Why don't they get someone who isn't totally biased to make a list like that?  Or at least a panel.  The top 20 is full of Beatles/Dylan and then Nevermind is at 17...  It's not my opinion that this list is shit, it's 100% fact.

God save us if this is what one of the biggest music mags in the world thinks is the 500 best albums.

Nirvana #9? Puh-lease!! What kind of shitty list is that? Definitely not what I would chose, from what I've seen.

Post by: Metallifuck on November 18, 2004, 02:02:02 PM
That list is heinously fucking shit. plus whoever made it is retarder for putting Nirvana and crap lke that in aswell as Greates Hits albums that don't even mean anything. I can't believe Master Of Puppets was 167 behind the likes of Beasty Boys, Elton John, Nirvana and countless Pop compilations. Who ever made that list reall does need to be raped with a fork.

apart from nirvana i think the top 25 songs is about right.  : ok: my top 25 would be similar, except nirvana not there, maybe stairway to heaven or some other led zep song there in its place.

*ducks for cover*

i can actuallyunderstand Nirvana being number 9, like him or hate him that song written by kurt cobain sparked a musical revolution, how many artists on that list can say they did that? i think some of u are forgetting just how influential and just exactly what that song did to the musical landscape, it is very rare that an artist or band changes shit, and Nirvana did whether u want to admit or give credit.

None of these lists will ever make sense to me until we see U2 in there in the first places.

Will anyone please explain why U2 is never listed amongst the top 10 in alike lists?

When will they give U2 the credit they deserve?

Ya, how about Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." Countless rock bands have tried to make a song like that?? Face it, Nirvana is simply overrated.

I honestly think SCOM is easily top 20 greatest songs ever made... should be in the top 20. I can't think of a more perfect song, personally.

November Rain also should be in the top 100.

Also, I think Jumpin' Jack Flash, I am Waiting, 2000 Man, Angie, and several other Stones' songs beat Satisfaction, so I'd have to disagree there.

it's just about taste, I suppose.

The mystification of Nirvana continues.  I think it sucks too, but I have accepted it.  You will feel better if you just accept it and laugh at it.

In my opinion, Nirvana DID NOT spark anything.  That is what I believe like or not.
