Of course these "greatest" lists are mostly bullocks, but Rolling Stone may have hit a new balls, low.
-
Because according to the new "Collector's Edition Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time," the Beatles do not place until #8, and then with Hey Jude!
-
Hey Jude is a great tune but I'd say in most Beatle fans' opinion, it is not their "best" work.
-
Then, the list makes another bad decision placing Yesterday at #15, a song no other Beatle but Paul McCartney wrote and played on!
-
I Want To Hold Your Hand at #16 and Let it Be at #20 rounds out the Top Twenty.
-
And if you can believe it, A Day in the Life makes just #28, whilst some Nirvana noise hits #9!

The index of the "Greatest" issue states that the Top 500 was compiled from several reader polls, as well as the RS editorial staff.
-
Although the Beatles place the most songs on the list with 23, RS figgers that
Abba's Dancing Queen should be #174, and the Beatles' Something, #278!!!!!
-
That, my friends, is a huge load of sheit.
-
And while it's true that you can't make everyone happy with these lists, this one is just fundamentally, wrong.
-

then that is perceived by RS to be Eleanor Rigby, when many other
tunes from that platter were more worthy.
-
Or Strawberry Fields coming in at #76???
-
Are they bloody nutters?
-
But in any event, the mag is worth picking up if for nothing else to see that living is easy with eyes-and ears-closed.
