Are these really the 10 greatest songs of all time?

The best song of all time is an Aretha Franklin song but it sure as hell ain't "Respect"

No.

bunch of nigger shit

gross

That's a really weird ranking
What is this from?

MHMM DAS RITE CRACKAS ISS ALL 'BOUT RESPEKTIN BLACK ROYALTY NOW GIBS ME DAT NIGGA

Rolling Stone

was this list curated based on popular vote? what’s the criteria?

Putting Respect at the very top is not a popular opinion. Some dumb female editor of this rag did it. An actual #1 song would apply to all people and have some universal appeal. Not just women.

Ive become a beatle fan over the years, strawberry fields forever is overrated as shit for some reason.
The music video is cool and all but come on.

The real top 10 is mostly just Michael Jackson songs.

boomer bait

Cringe. A magazine made for and read by the white family from Get Out

ask me how i know this list is from 2020/2021

i love outkast and andre 3000 deserves recognition as one of the greatest but holy shit putting hey ya in the top ten is offensive and reeks of magazine writers trying to think of a contemporary black song

I don't even understand how they still exist. Who's buying rolling stone.

wheres the fight song?

I will never understand what the world hears in Dreams. Probably the worst song in the first 5 tracks on Rumours.
Hey Ya is perfect though.

my father in law has a wall art project thing thats all rolling stone covers, so theres one. his walls are full of other giga-boomer shit like soda and motor oil advertisements

How is that the one you take issue with when that terrible Missy Elliott song is right above it

the soda and motor oil is cooler than rolling stone howeverbeit.

i didnt read the whole thing lel but i do like missy elliot

Roses is perfect

My list would be different, but this one isn't bad, they're clearly trying to send a message to the audience with their song choices.

they're clearly trying to send a message to the audience

It's a dumb message. It's silly white people trying trying too hard.

Ah yes, The Beatles, Nirvana, and Fleetwood Mac!
My favorite black bands!

Every song here sucks ass

Yeah Rosa Parks is a way better song with more meaningful lyrics and was just as popular as a dance song when it came out. Andre in his prime even performed the song on Nickelodeon "All That"

say a little prayer for you > respect
dont care
sittin on the dock of the bay > a change is gonna come
Desolation row > like a rolling stone
lake of fire > Teen spirit
aint no mountain high enough > lets get it on > whats goin on
Rain > dear prudence > strawberry fields
lmao fuck off
Storms > dreams
bombs over baghdad > roses > hey ya

Never heard Fight the Power

Literally none of these songs deserve to be in a top 10. The closest is Like a Rolling Stone, btw.

Sure, to some 20 year old Jew in New York.

Daydreaming

Dreams

Not even in the top 5 Fleetwood Mac songs. Maybe not even top 10.

I wonder if people who think Respect is the best song of all time were dropped on the head as children. Like you cannot pick a more boring song if you tried.

Ten best songs of all time (in order)
1. Child in Time - Deep Purple
2. Stairway to Heaven - Zeppelin
3. Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden
4. Cap in Hand - Jethro Tull
5. Child of Vision - Supertramp
6. Ancient Forest of Elves - Rhapsody
7. What is Love? - Haddaway
8. War Pigs - Black Sabbath
9. Metallica - Ride The Lightning
10. Master P - Stop Hatin

great pick but it's "I Say a Little Prayer"

Of course not.

i respect a list that looks like an ipod playlist, songs people actually love to instead of whats important

bombs over baghdad

this was the coolest fucking song when it came out. zoomer blacks haven't come close to topping this shit

I prefer their rap stuff a lot more than their pop but Hey Ya! is still an amazing song and arguably the best of its genre. Missy Elliott being there is cringe though

The 3 black on the top are obvious DEI picks.

"Like a RS" is ok but not quite among the best. Even All Along the Watchtower is betterr. But only if played by Hendrix.

Teen Spirit deserves a spot. It synthesises the whole atmosphere of the late 80s/early 90s and it has echoes of classic rock'n'rolll like Louie Louie with that jumpy riff.

Beatles have way better songs that that, what a meme pick.

Go Your Own Way is way better than Dreams, a much more ordinary yawn-inducing song.

Hey Ya is OK, not sure if worthy of that spot.

But some big omissions are:
The Mamas and Papas - Twelve-Thirty, California Dreamin, quite a few timeless songs
The Police - Every breath you take
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing

Hey Ya has to be the most overrated song of all time
I have no idea what why everyone seems to love it

They should have picked Ms Jackson

No, even RYM top 10 (both songs and singles) better (and I hate RYM trannies).
