Rolling Stone: "40 Songs That Changed The World"

[FORD]

Can't really argue with most of the choices. Even the ones I don't like.

Exceptions - the last two. I really don't think Titney Spears or the White Stripes changed shit - except for demonstrating that corporatist labels now completely push image over talent.

Wow.. Pretty interesting list. Nice find.

Wheres Van Halen?

[ThrillsNSpills]

Safe to say Baby One more Time was not our proudest moment in the history of recorded arts.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Yea, I would say that was pretty accurate.

Although, I would put something in to represent prog.

[SA ME WHO]

I don't know about the White Stripes, but unfortunately, Britney did usher in the teenage girl pop star era that, along with Latin music, dominated much of the very late 90's/early 00's music scene.

So, as much as I hated it, I kind of have to agree with that pick.

I agree with most of the choices too (a couple I'm just not familiar enough with to make an informed decision). But, I'd like to look this up, article-wise, and see their rationale for not only the choices, but also their positioning. Might make things a little more/less debatable.

Not off the mark as they usually are, agreed, although I personally couldn't give a shit about #s 38-40.

[DLRdelight!]

just like rollingstone to include no van halen

[smithcreww]

great post! the world has definitely changed for the better since music has come into society.

[DrMaddVibe]

That list is a joke!

Louie,Louie? LOL!

The Boss? LMAO!

Donna Summer? LMMFAO!

Sugarhill Gang? C'mon!

Michael Jackson? White or Black?

RunDMC and Aerosmtith(sic)? Well, they got the tit part right!

Britney Spears? Vomit!

Any musical list that has Dre and Led Zeppelin in the top 50...you know some asshole wrote it.

[FORD]

You don't think ZEPPELIN belongs on the list, AssVibe??

Who would you put in their place?

And remember, this list is ranked not in order of importance, but chronologically. so if you deleted Zep, who deserves to take their place and time on the list?

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Sabbath?

[PumpedUpMidget]

Bob Dylan and The Ramones???? What a joke...both of them suck big time


(Unchainme--you forgot the Cleveland Crusaders on your list)

Louie Louie is one of the most if not THE most covered tunes of all time, definitely deserves a spot. Donna Summer? I don't get that one either. Sugarhill Gang had the first big rap hit in history with Rapper's Delight. Billie Jean? A massive hit from the biggest selling album of all time.

Yeah, not much real metal representation there..
I was thinking the same thing.
