Board 8 > Rolling Stone released an updated 500 Best Songs of All Time list

CasanovaZelos 09/15/21 10:42:10 AM #1:	Their first completely new all-time list since 2004 (I believe they did an 'update' in 2010 or so where they added a few new songs but didn't rearrange anything). It's an interesting list; did not expect Rolling Stone of all publications to put "Get Ur Freak On" in the all-time top 10. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-1224767/ All of their choices in the top couple hundred seem standard fare for critics if not RS specifically - the only real headscratcher I caught was a remix of Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina" at #50. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:958077094] in Rolling St...

MooglesRUs 09/15/21 12:21:17 PM #10:	And those arent the worst offenders, just the two that stuck out the most to me at first glance. I would argue at least 20% of the top 100 doesnt belong in a top 1,000, and they have 1 of the worst songs ever in the top 10. The 2004 list is rightly demeaned, but most of it is because of order, not making the list as a whole. Id have to check it again, but I dont think there was one Pink Floyd song in the top 100. The probable 10 most famous rock bands ever, Beatles, Queen, Zepplin, Eagles, Fleetwood, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Stones, AC/DC, and Metallica have a combined 6 songs in the top 100. A RNG of the highest rock selling albums of all time would have created a better list. <cite>MooglesRUs posted [p:958079835] in Rolling St...

But the hype behind "Seven Nation Army" largely derives from the colossal sound Jack White managed to create while only using two instruments. It's as technically impressive as it was popular. "Royals," meanwhile, signaled a new era of pop music by rejecting the glamour of the previous era while also bringing minimalism to the forefront. It was like little else before it in the pop sphere. Neither of these songs get their hype purely from being 'fun.' There are dozens of songs every year that top the charts and get no lasting attention - there is a clear cultural difference between "Royals" and something like "Shape Of You" or "All About That Bass." --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:958080344] in Rolling St...

Like, you are doing nothing but praising this song other than insisting that other people liking it is bad? i didnt say others liking it was bad. I said there isnt a way it should be that high. A top 100 song of all time should either have a message directly from the band about something (so like Dreams for instance in their top 10) or a culturally significant song that once again, has a powerful message (Like Testify, which I dont think made the top 100), or tells a story that captivates the audience well after that song is played on the radio any longer. The final one and maybe the hardest to place is just demonstrated musical mastery over something. Its not like Seven Nation Army goes and massacres a guitar in the song. Its just good and fun to listen to. So you are placing a song as top 40 ever because its enjoyable and has nice riffs, and because it tries to emulate a bass guitar sound. I just dont feel its near enough to warrant that level of rank. <cite>MooglesRUs posted [p:958080639] in Rolling St...

That's my bigger problem with the list, lying more in the exclusions than inclusions. "Video Games" did not make the list at all. Overall, this list seems to consider popularity too heavily; they largely picked the right popular songs, but there are plenty of great and influential songs that did not immediately hit the charts that are left off. "Video Games" to "Royals" is a clear chain and it's weird to put one so high and exclude the other. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:958081815] in Rolling St...

CasanovaZelos 09/15/21 3:01:22 PM #38:	No other comments on "Gasolina" being top 50? Like, that's weird, right? Though perhaps part of my problem here is that the other forum I frequent is for a site that compiles critic lists, so I'm over-aware of odd picks. But on that site, "Gasolina" doesn't even rank in the top 100 for its year.
