Complete List (http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/6596661/sort/rank/pagenum/1)

All of the songs on the list actually have lyrics that can be understood and have meaning. With most of the songs now, you can't even understand what the hell is being said. I don't really care for the oldies, but they definately are goodies.

I didnt see any Keith Sweat songs so i guess i just missed it

[jason]

'The River' by Bruce Springsteen should be on there

[JHS_c/o_06']

These people were obviously smoking something when they made this list....i mean...come one...

187 Back in Black AC/DC

196 Sweet Child O' Mine Guns N' Roses


They obviously forgot about (who i consider, the two greatest rock bands of all times, and just said...oh crap we forgot about GNR and AC/DC....oh well...just stick them in there somewhere)

And...lol....i like the rolling stones as much as the next guy....but they have no right to have about 5 songs before they get to Hendrix's first (purple haze..which i dont consider his best)

the list is BS if you ask me

and about 20 others by Bruce .....

[JHS_c/o_06']

MY GOD........Run DMC's version of walk this way is on there.....the first time i heard that song...i wanted to puke.

AND IT WAS RANKED HIGHER THAN AEROSMITHS VERISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

&#@$)*(#%*)&!#()*! !)(*$#)!(*#$)$#()%_@#

[lobo12]

i agree AC/DC is one of the greatest rock bands ever!!!!

[District303aPastPlayer]

it is weird to see that 'like a ROLLING STONE ' and Satisfaction by the ROLLING STONES are 1 and 2

[BulldogBowler]

Stairway to Heaven should be higher than 31

[Holmes_Fans]

That song is overated

[jason]

yup

[Mustang22]

yea I agree stairway to Heaven is pretty over rated.

[JHS_c/o_06']

Its only over rated to ppl who dont play the guitar, most ppl who play electric guitar and rock music consider it a mile stone when you can play it.

[BulldogBowler]

STH overrated? I dont think so...maybe overplayed...its the most played rock song on radio of all time....a song doesnt get that designation by being overrated...

[Maroon87]

"Rolling Stone" sucks. Too much left-leaning political B.S.

[Phil C]

Triumped up survey by people you never heard of. :)

[NSUTrumpet08]

Looks like a good list except all the newer-ish stuff is on there...as in the last 5 years...there needs to be a cut off for things like this. But oldies are goodies as someone said back down there...still don't like rap but that's my opinion...

[GWOOD]

What???? No ZZ Top in the Top 500??? "LaGrange"??? "Sharp Dressed Man"??? "Legs"??? "Gimme All Your Lovin"??? "Tush"???

[SwtwtrMstngs04]

497: Buddy Holly By Weezer. Whats up with this. that song deserves better.

[cunbed10]

Everybody wants 2 rule the world by Tears for fears, was that on there.

[Phantom Stang]

What?? No Ted Nugent? No Stevie Ray Vaughn???:mad: :mad:
