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

[URL]http://www.virginradio.co.uk/music/top500/index.html[/URL]


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?

There are far too many Guns'n'Roses songs in that list to believe.

Therefore, they must have only sought the opinions of about 10 individuals.

Really STUPID individuals at that.

Hmmm.

Robbie Williams beat the Beatles. That's realistic.

And Nirvana, the best songwriters of the 90s, not even in the top 100?!

Gah.

Someone direct me to a place where it has the real Brett Hart Theme music tab for the geetar.

No, no.

I just have ears. Despite Nirvana's underatedness and such they were still the best lyric writers of the 90's.

Is that you Zully?

That's the onlysong I'd keep, but possibly (definately) not as high as that.
It's a good song.


There's only 2 Led Zeppelin songs in the top 500, Stairway to Heaven, which is number 1, and Whole Lotta Love, which is 477.
That's bad enough.
There's no Hendrix songs in the top 100.
Or Deep Purple
Or Radiohead
There's far too many REM songs, as good as they are, there are better songs.
Layla by Derek and The Dominos is too low.
Don't Stop Me Now by Queen is 98, when it's teh best Queen song there is.
Lynyrd Skynard aren't there until 110 (or so) and Free Bird isn't even in the top 346.
Whisky In The Jar (they can't even spell Whisky) is 334. Hmmmmmmmmmm......
