If you can get through the autoplay of Joker-grinning sicko Matt Taibbi and his crazy-eyed, terrifying dim bulb co-host Katie Halper, there are some interesting results.

Went through the entire list, and it was pretty much what I expected. Pleasantly surprised to see ABBA on it though.   

Apart from that it was the usual suspects, and a lot of artists I've never even heard of.

Growing up, those lists were how I learned about music, so I loved seeing a lot of unfamiliar artists. At my old job, I oversaw a similar music list, and I really pushed for lesser-known artists to get their due, even though we got a lot of pushback from people who were screaming, “How dare this nameless band be higher on the list than this world-famous icon?”

In my opinion there are two kinds of people: people who love ABBA, and stupid people.....

hahahaha

 

 

Did someone say Abba?

 

 

^^

That's quite a list of wonderful songs, and yet they have just as many great songs (or even more) not on the list..... 

 

 

Going back to the Rolling Stones list, I think placing Greatest Hits albums or Best Of collections on it is cheating a bit. Albums like that are supposed to be great.

 

They (Rolling Stone) also did a list of (their) 500 greatest songs of all time....

I find it astonishing that they could cram so many Rolling Stones, Dylan, U2 and Beatles songs onto the list, not to mention so many obscure male artists/groups, but only find place for one Madonna song, and not a single mention of Carole King, Etta James, Kate Bush, Dinah Washington, Whitney Houston etc
