Well what we all have bands that we value to the highest degree. I wouldn't say I think Tool are the be all and end all of music but I know where they are, as I said, in the musical food chain in my opinion.

yea, its fair enough to have a high personal opinion on a band... but arguing that a magazine is crap because its not decided to put 1 of their songs in the top 100 is a bit more than an opinion - thats where the be all and end all statement came in

I never said Rolling Stone were crap because Tool were not in the top 100. I believe without doubt that Tool and multiple other artists who deserve to be there, were not. Tool just happen to be my favourite band. That's so untrue to say I called Rolling Stone crap coz of not having Tool coz I said no such thing. I said if it doesn't include certain people who I named, in the upper echelons of the list, then to me it's an invalid list, TO ME.

Damn.

Most Rolling stone albums sound like every other Rolling stones album, how could they possibly have a top 500? I can think of maybe 5 top Rolling stone songs.

I know. I can think of 1,000 bands that deserve to be on it before them.

Rolling Stone has as much credibility as Maxim, and their god awful list.

Most people fail to recognize, these lists are nothing more than some collective college yuppies opinions, thrown in a blender, and then carefully mapped out, so there aren't 5 rock songs or 5 rap songs in a row.

if they are going to have a list of the greatest songs _ 500 of them- of al time

they cant just include songs from the yr 1998 and on - I mean it is the greatest songs of ALL TIME !!!

and not a lot of people are going to agree with Eulogy from Tool - or songs about how Maynard wants California to drop off into the ocean... I mean

and Smells Like Teen Spirit was a turning point in music in the 90s-- most of you were in preschool when that song first came on the radio - so you dont what it was like to hear that song for the first time when it came out

Because they're talented, interesting, intelligent, innovative and about 10,000 times better than anything else in the charts over the last 10 years.

Yeah, I was really young when that song came out, 5 years old to be exact...but I still remember listening to it on the radio when it first came out. In fact, I had the cassette of Nevermind when it came out. So I DO know what it was like to hear it for the first time when it first came out. I grew up listening to Nirvana.

It was decided by an industry poll. I think that everyone who voted were either critics or musicians (from Jakob Dylan to Brian Wilson)
