:thumbsup

thats their opinion, not mine.

No shit. What a joke.

too bad Kurt couldnt stop yanking riffs.

ever compare the songs 'come as you are' to the song 'the eighties' by Killing Joke?

'Twelve years after Nirvana borrowed heavily from Killing Joke's "Eighties" to create "Come as You Are," the reunited U.K. band is borrowing the defunct Seattle band's drummer to make its first studio album in seven years...'

nirvana is so overrated.

:1orglaugh

I agree :)

Eminem's Lose Yourself in number 4?


Pathetic junkies.

Ya what he said. Thats a fuckin joke. Courtney is probably threatening lawsuits! LOL:1orglaugh

Instead of stupid comments, which most of you are great at giving...what do you think the top song should be?

what's yours then?

I agree too.. That song made history in Music.. I'm not saying it's my personal favorite song though..

Why's that pathetic? You guys aren't very good at backing anything you say up.

Billie Jean is kickass.

anything by michael bolton... it's all phenomenal! i celebrate his entire collection

It is pathetic because nobody will care about the song in 20 years. Take Queen for example. Timeless music.

There is so many recent smash number one hits in that list that most people can't listen to anymore, cuz they've gotten sick of it.

25 years? 15 certainly in my top 10.

don't forget to fix those TPS reports.

i didn't get the memo.

Man you are saying that nothing done by: Led Zepplin, Rush, Metallica, Kiss, AC-DC, Van Halen,etc.....is better than that wedding singer cobain, and his band of lounge lizzards?

Dude you be trippin man!!!!
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

precisely.

:1orglaugh

anything off the beatles "white album" would get my vote.

ABSOLUTELY!

What about One, The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica?

They even won a Grammy for One. :1orglaugh

I'll send you another copy. Don't worry.

And uhmmm.. yeah.... I'm gonna have you come in tomorrow...

The only stupid statement in this thread is the one by VH1 claimng "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the best song n 25 years.

I can think of dozens of better songs off the top of my head.

Pretty much anything by Queen
Pretty much anything by pre-1992 Michael Jackson
Pretty much anything by the Steve Miller Band


The list goes on and on. I could name individual songs, but it's easier to just name real artists with real talent.

The White Album was probably further in the past than 25 years. :2 cents:

None of that shit said above comes close to the movement Teen Spirit caused..

sorry but smells like teen spirit was one of the most recognised and best songs ever. everyone will have different opinions but that song really was one of the best ever.

:sleep

SANATARIUM..... LEAVE ME BE.....

I don't think anywhere in this thread did I state one way or the other what I thought.

I think there are better choices personally, but I don't think it's a terrible choice.

Didn't really think about my pick. Still thinking it over.

eminem and nirvana shouldnt be in the top 10...

where's
"wind of change/scorpions"
"twsited sister/we aint gonna take it'
"Chris Isaac/ wicked games"
"we are the world/lionel ritchie, stevie wonder"
no stevie wonder or lionel ritchie song btw...


just to name a few...

any other songs should be in the top 10 ?

46) Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure

You must be joking. 46???? Again, something like Queen and Freddy's voice, so influencial and ground breaking... and timeless.

28) Britney Spears - ?Baby One More Time

OMG.

13) TLC - Waterfalls

Nothing to add to that.

04) Eminem - Lose Yourself


Tops the list off.


What a pile of shit.

Scorpions: Rock You Like A Hurricane
Scorpions: Send Me An Angel
Scorpions: Crazy World
Scorpions: Big City Nights

Twisted Sister: I Wanna Rock


Just ones that popped into my head while reading your thread.

SpaceAce

i know more people who can sing the lyrics to "baby got back" than "SLTS". that would make it more popular right? hence a better song?

Word....

and where's "Technotronic"?? common now! :Graucho

Don't forget about Boy Gorge, or Wham....

come again? 25 years dipshit.

:winkwink:

Even my girlfriend, who likes TLC, said she heard them live and they sucked ass. Sorry, but the "best songs" shouldn't have to be processed so hard that you're not even hearing the real performers.

I have a funnier version I wrote called "Don't Go Chasing Booty Calls".

SpaceAce

Really, anyone who says "Karma Chameleon" didn't cause a movement is nuts.

Edit: Please don't start the "They did more than just that song!" crap. I know.

SpaceAce

One word .... KISS ARMY.... O.K. two words then....
