I guess their pro-Kerry stance must have affected their ability to think properly.
The list gets better and worse from there
Satisfaction at #2, great song, may not be #2 but a great song
Imagine by John Lennon at #3, Liberal Hippie, anti God Clap trap. Sheer Garbage
What's Going on, Marvin Gaye #4. Not my politics, but an absolutely incredible political anthem, which is just a beautifully sung song.
I woulda opted for Satisfaction.
It's very hard not to distingiush between rock and roll and rock but Satisfaction sort of bridges it.
There is no best song and Rolling Stone the magazine is awful....always has been though it did spawn a few interesting writers and critics.
Flippo, Young, O'Rourke and yes even HST...but one must be on drugs to appreciate him.....forget FALILV....Hell's Angels is his only coherent work.
Bob Dylan wouldn't know a rock-and-roll song if it came up and bit him on his wrinkly old folkie butt. Electrified faux-folk, maybe, but not rock. And seriously, did anyone else know that they were still publishing Rolling Stone magazine? I thought it went the way of "Rosie", "Teen", and "Brill's Content" magazines.
ewwwwwwwwwww is right!!
it is of course "California Girls" .. and the southern girls with the way they talk, they knock me out when Im down there" ya'll know its true!! hehehe
LIKE, who cares what Rolling Stone thinks. This thing of making up lists - top 10 and the best of the best is so passe - like something stupid junior high school students do. I mean who reads this crappy magazine anyway.
The only thing that is important is what songs make you happy inside - not the picks of some drug crazed democratic funders. I mean no 2 or 3 was that stupid song Imagine by John Lennon. I always hated that song even when I was like 13 and everyone loved it. I remeber the after John Lennon was shot - our English teacher - a nun - who told us animals have no soul and don't go to heaven made us pray for John Lennon. I closed my eyes and said - No way God am I gonna pray for this creep! Shortly after that I became a conservative. Well, a couple of years later in High School reading NR in the library.
I never liked "Hotel California" at all, but thought "Desperado" and "Take It To the Limit" were two of the all time greats.
No way, gotta be a tie between Muscrat Love & Loving You...
Feelings!
Either that or Timothy...
Ok, maybe Honey.
Or even Afternoon Delight. ;)
eh...*shruggs*
Doogle
The greatest song is by Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane)...
It's named "Rejoyce" and uses "throw up" (as in "vomit") and "crotch" in the lyrics. That makes it!
Any serious list of top rock songs has to include at least one Ramones tune in the top 50 (my own choice would be Judy is a Punk). Puh-leeeez!
I could not agree more. This absolutely is the greatest of the greats. Of his other masterpieces:
Desolation Row; Jokerman; Tom Thumb's Blues; Love Minus Zero; Brownsville Girl.
Only act close to him is the Stones, of course.
Best song ever? How about 'Theme for an Imaginary Western' (Bruce/Brown) as played by Leslie West & Mountain?
#2) 'All Along the Watchtower' (Dylan) as played by Jimi Hendrix.
#3)I'm putting away all those other great rock tunes and going with 'I Can See Clearly Now' by I-don't-know-who.
Then again, maybe the vote was for the song in spite of the voice?
Mack the Knife...Bobby Darin
So, a song with rolling stone in the title and the group, "Rolling Stones" are placed in the top 10 by "Rolling Stone" magazine.
It reminds me of the best rock song of all time they did a couple of years ago and a piece of garbage like, "I Can't Get no Satisfaction" by the "Rolling Stones" beats out "Stairway to Heaven."
What a joke that magazine is.
