Maps is a great song.

Probably not the #1 song of the century though.

Not to make you feel worse but most of those songs are themselves about 20 years old.

The majority of those songs are from the early 2000s. And some aren’t even rock.

That’s just pathetic and says a lot about how far our society has devolved. That or Rolling Stone just sucks arse.

A lot of decent choices on the list that we could argue exactly where they go, but this one definitely raises an eyebrow.

I'd honestly rate the Grey Album version higher than the original.
