It's just been revised with a BLM slant.

Looks weak.

[Sinkers]

It’s a bastard to try and get through without an ad blocker, that’s for sure

[Insane_Homer]

Musical tastes are subjective, lists and rankings are utterly stupid.

[Gumboot]

Can't really see how anyone would give a shit about what Rolling Stone thinks is the 497th greatest song of all time.

[assfly]

The only thing these lists are good for is introducing you to artists you may have never heard of before.

Yeah, I started working through their greatest albums list a while back and found some new stuff I like

[Sandstorm]

Too much Kanye. I'm out.

[FalseBayFC]

493 - The Pixies, 'Where Is My Mind?'
437 - Carly Rae Jepsen, 'Call Me Maybe'

[Tichtheid]

493 - The Pixies, 'Where Is My Mind?'
437 - Carly Rae Jepsen, 'Call Me Maybe'

492 Miles Davis 'So What'


They can fuck the fuck off.

Spent 10 minutes hate-scrolling through the list then realized I should be working.

It's odd because I've never listened to a single Kanya single that I can recall.

I guess he's not for our demographic. I find with a lot of these folk, like Kanye, Beyonce, JayZ etc etc, I have absolutely no interest in their music but you catch them live and you see why they are so popular. I remember watching Beyonce at Glastonbury and was absolutely blown away - have never listened to her once since.

It's true. I am a huuuge Trance music fan and seeing some of them performed live will blow your Class-A mind, but it wouldn't get anywhere near this list. Maybe Rolling Stones don't consider any of them songs they would even review?

[Torquemada 1420]

Even excepting the need to "look cool" by placing a Hip Hop track at no2, Public Enemy > Run DMC? Seriously?

Download the Brave browser, it cuts out everything. I use it for most things now, hardly ever see a pop up anymore.

Yes, absolutely.

Pinnacle of hip hop, Public Enemy.

Fight the Power, Channel Zero - way above It's Like That.

[Kawazaki]

Jesus wept, I just scrolled to see the top-10.

This is supposed to be all-time right?

It's a crock.

[Uncle fester]

Can't search for Godspeed you! black emperor so not bothering.

[boere wors]

Just scrolling through the top 50 made me laugh so hard

[Globus]

It's total rubbish. Never seen so much piffle.

I've been a musician since I was 3 years old. I'm a veritable encyclopedia from then to 1986 when I stopped being a DJ.

[Sinkers]

We’ll, there’s a problem right there - maybe it’s a question of demographics

Let’s say that if first billboard chart was listed in 1930 something and one’s interest in popular music wains in the mid 80s, you’d not be best qualified to comment on 40ish % of the period there have been charts

That’s definitely the way I feel when I go through that list - there’s plenty of artists that I’m aware of, aware they’re global superstars on the last 20 years or so, but I’ve got no interest at all in listening to their music (although I still listen to loads and loads of music)

Getting old and out of date I guess

[Grandpa]

Finally a list where I liked 90% of the songs... It's not unusual didn't make it though...

[OomStruisbaai]

Thought its a nice play list of the Stones. Always a big fan of Mick Jagger & kie.

[Globus]

The very best from them live. With the wonderful Lisa Fischer

I wonder how many hip-hop fans are reading this list and going: "The Beatles? Van Halen? Bob Dylan! All garbage!!! "

To be fair Dylan was kind of rapping in 1965

I have to agree with you on that. Her voice on that tour for that particular track was spectacular.

Any list without Oliver Mtukudzi is invalid. Neria is a stone cold classic. Youssou N'Dour with 7 Seconds is another African musician who should be there. Enormously popular in the West.
