I have to be in a certain mood to listen to depressing music like Neil Young. It's good music but I don't ever find myself wanting to be depressed as Hell to put on some Rust Never Sleeps.

At least those are real songs. They could have made them all up. The are known for making shite up these days.

No doubt. I feel like the vast majority of "current" music that I've actually had to listen to in the last 25 years or so has been pure garbage...in every genre.

The best music is totally subjective. Not one of my favorite three songs of all time (Born on the Bayou, Blue Sky, and Tupelo Honey) do the above for me, nor do I want them to. If I wanted to listen to the pain of life I wouldn't listen to music, I would listen to life.

1. Aretha Franklin, 'Respect'
Deserves consideration for one of the greatest songs of all time, but I'm not sure it is Top 5.
quote:
3. Sam Cooke, 'A Change Is Gonna Come'
I'm not sure it is even Sam Cooke's best song.
quote:
4. Bob Dylan, 'Like a Rolling Stone'
Rank homerism, Dylan songs are more influential than they are objectively great (particularly when you get outside the lyrical content.)
quote:
5. Nirvana, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'
Like Dylan songs, more influential than "great".
quote:
6. Marvin Gaye, 'What’s Going On'
Great song.
quote:
7. The Beatles, 'Strawberry Fields Forever'
Maybe the best song on this list, but not even the Beatles best song.
quote:
9. Fleetwood Mac, 'Dreams'
Considered by some to be the "perfect" song, again, might not be Fleetwood Mac's best.
The list descends into parody with Public Enemy, Missy Elliott and Outkast (for different reasons, of course). Ignoring legendary black artists like Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, etc., for these entries (and I like Outkast, make no mistake, and this song in particular) for the Top 10, is pretty telling. I'm not even going to look at the balance of the rest because I can predict how much more stupid it gets from here.

I'm a Beatles megafan of sorts
And I genuinely skip SFF when it comes on

it'd be incredibly easy to come up with 10 songs better than every single one of these.
Marvin Gaye song is pretty special but agree with the rest

yeah, i'm not even bagging on the songs listed. But, the 10 best songs in history? not even close.
Posted on 9/21/21 at 8:53 pm to MorbidTheClown
Top 10 best songs all time, all genres? Off the top of my head no Patsy Cline - Crazy? No Hank Williams? That's just country. If Led Zep Kashmir is in the 100's it's not even worth looking at.
List is crap.
List is crap.

Hey ya isn't even the best Outkast song. Stopped reading there.

This was Rolling Stone's top 10 in 2004:
10. Ray Charles, 'What'd I Say'
9. Nirvana, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'
8. The Beatles, 'Hey Jude'
7. Chuck Berry, 'Johnny B. Goode'
6. The Beach Boys, 'Good Vibrations'
5. Aretha Franklin, 'Respect'
4. Marvin Gaye, 'What's Going On'
3. John Lennon, 'Imagine'
2. The Rolling Stones, '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'
1. Bob Dylan, 'Like a Rolling Stone'
Decent list that’s at least not laughable like whatever the current shite they put out is. 2004 was before everything was infiltrated by woke shite. The current list is basically “George Floyd died and this country is racist how can we make up for it with our list?”

Sure, but top 10? No
Top 200-300? Maybe
Top 200-300? Maybe
