"500 greatest songs"

Virgin Radio has been running a poll for the 500 greatest songs of all time and the results were out earlier today.

I guessed the munber one spot from the beggining even though I dont think it is the best song ever. There were a few shocks in the Top 10. I though Queen would be higher and I really didnt expect Robbie Williams to be there.


So what do you think of the results?

Joe Satriani also did a thing with Steve Vai called "G3". Quite good but hasn't got the magic that they both have on their own.


MT.

I am?
Great.

He's a guitarist.
He's wonderful.

Also, you're the person that made me introduce myself to a Spanish person on MSN many times thinking it was you, before they eventually said they weren't you in really broken english.

I have a mate like you who is even worse with Radiohead. He just goes on and on about them. He's tried to convert people to his cult like love of them, but I refused.

Having said that,they do have quite a few good songs.

I'm not good with names by the way, so who is Joe satriani? He from a better known band or a soloist or something?

Yer.
They got the #1 correct though.

#2 should've been a JS track.
They're too good for me to just pick one for that spot.

Had a flick through the Virgin one and have plenty of complaints, but won't list them. The only thing I will point out is I don't know how they did it or what they were thinking, but so many songs in there were a good bands most popular yet crap or just crap song.

what!
If you think that, you should try talking to me about God (aka Joe Satriani).

Dear God. What the hell are you on.

Just to pick some things out of what's been posted:

Nirvana underated-
made me laugh for the first time today.

Paranoid Android and most other decent Radiohead below Creep-
made me laugh for the second time today. (Although I think Forza and mermoid like them a bit too much)

The amazing inclusion of new bands and even more amzing choice of their worst songs-
I have no idea, but I agree.

Now to look at the 2 lists...
