I would ask the same thing.. especially:

What is Nelly's "Hot in Herre" doing on that list at all... :shakehead

TheGame 06-11-2003 12:18 PM

I like rap, but I think that list shouldn't have included ANY from the last 3-5 years.

yes_yes i am 06-11-2003 12:34 PM

from wut i see those are all singles so im pretty sure its just sales... otherwise thats pretty dumb =\

how can u measure the greatness of a song?

with your opinion. facts don't play a role in preference.

I disagree with a lot of the list, but meh. They should have the 100 greatest songs from the past 50 years :D

Bond 06-11-2003 01:04 PM

I was just talking about this list with Stonecutter last night.

I think it's awful, but it is hard to make these all-in-one lists I suppose.

Professor S 06-11-2003 01:30 PM

I have so many issues with that list that I won't even bother to post them...

I just have two words... BON JOVI??????

Stonecutter 06-11-2003 01:40 PM

Re: 100 Greatest Songs from the Past 25 Years
 
Every time another list comes out I have to make another decision on who the worst listmakers are.

Is it VH1

Or TV guide

both are awful

but the list does have one redeeming quality.

Best. Keyboard. Riff. Ever.

Rndm_Perfection 06-11-2003 01:41 PM

It's VH1, what'd you expect?

EDIT: And, Stoney C. is right about Journey.

lol, Britney isn't all that bad... I liked her preformance at the VMAs (years ago)... and er, I have liked all of her recent videos, can't say that I like many of her songs, but nice videos. Um, yeah...

*slowly backs away from thread*

You mean the one where she stripped down to a bunch of skin-colored clothes and stupid people thought she was actually almost naked?

gekko 06-11-2003 03:10 PM

You sure this list doesn't have to do anything with popularity, and not a panel of people picking the songs?

Joeiss 06-11-2003 03:33 PM

Hmm... They left out a lot of jazz tunes... Wait a minute, there aren't any Jazz songs on that! That is horrible. And they left out a lot of classical music as well... Those bastards.

Blade Runner 06-11-2003 04:59 PM

Eminem - My Name Is !? Backstreet boys!?

Wow, this list is terrible. Where is bohemian rhapsody? No csny? No hendrix? No smashing pumpkins!?

Hanson!?

*kills himself*

NYGiant 06-11-2003 05:08 PM

Gee, Juicy from Notorious BIG ain't even up there...BS

DeathsHand 06-11-2003 05:13 PM

I'm thinking this list was either made by a retarded person or it's based on something like sales... or like air time... Or something... :unsure:

bobcat 06-11-2003 06:08 PM

Where's Billy Ray Cyrus?

You're right, he should be in the top 3.

He should be number 1. But they picked a bad song. Lose Yourself was just the theme from the movie. My Name Is is pretty good. They should have used Sing for the Moment.

Past 25 years, Hendrix has been dead for over 25 years.

Lose Yourself is an awesome song you know. Eminem even mentioned that the song is a sort of charm for the rap genre....

But where is Pink Floyd in that list? The guy deserves to be in there...

EDIT: Ooopps.... Number 15... Didn't see that.

Stonecutter 06-11-2003 07:51 PM

Pink Floyd is not a guy :rolleyes::banghead:

One Winged Angel 06-11-2003 08:08 PM

Nirvana deserves that #1 spot.

I like the song its based on a lot more. One of my friends actually had know idea it was based on the stone's song...so sad.


And i still can't believe no pumpkin song is up there.

Jason1 06-11-2003 09:00 PM

How can you call Eminem's ''Sing for the moment'' a good song when it is nothing more that rip off of another song?

Joeiss 06-11-2003 09:16 PM

OMG... You should shoot yourself in the foot if you think Pink Floyd is a guy.. OMG>. that is funny.

Another Brick on the Wall is a good song... Not their best, but I guess it was the only CD of theirs that fit into the 25 year thing.

Just because it's someone else's doesn't make it bad. I still like it.

But since we're talking about originals how about Way I Am.

Final Cut and Division Bell were both released after The Wall. Nobody really knows any songs from those albums though so......

Music was much better in the 60's and 70's anyway IMO.

Nope. The Baroque Era was much better.

WTF? 'In My Opinion'

"Nope" infers that I was wrong. If that's what you meant then your understanding of an important yet simple meaning/concept is cloudy (if not nonexistent)
