ROLLING STONE "GREATEST SONGS" MAG JUST STONED

Lottsa ka ka





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.
-
I mean only one song from perhaps the Fabs' finest effort, Revolver, and
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.
