VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years."
NEW YORK - Here they are now, entertaining us — or at least entertaining VH1, which named Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" the greatest song of the past quarter-century. The Seattle band's groundbreaking grunge anthem is No. 1 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years."
The whole countdown will air over five nights, starting at 10 p.m. EDT Monday on the video music channel. The series will feature clips of videos and performances by the artists along with interviews from musicians and celebrities discussing why the songs matter.
Of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan (news) said: "That was really a breakthrough for a great scene that had been going on for a long time up in Seattle. And it was kind of another victory, I think, for a misunderstood music, you know. The dam broke when 'Teen Spirit' came out."
While no one performer or group dominated the countdown, which was chosen by a panel of VH1 executives, several had two songs featured.
Michael Jackson (news) had the second-highest song, "Billie Jean," and was at No. 40 with "Beat It." Eminem (news - web sites) reached No. 4 with "Lose Yourself," while his "My Name Is" was No. 85. Madonna (news - web sites)'s "Like a Virgin" was No. 10 and her "Ray of Light" was No. 100.
Rounding out the top 10 were "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, "One" by U2, "Walk This Way" by Run-D.M.C., "When Doves Cry" by Prince, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston (news) and "Every Breath You Take" by The Police.
In May 2001, VH1 picked the 100 greatest videos of all time; Jackson's "Thriller," a 17-minute mini-movie, was No. 1, but it didn't even make the list this time.

Nirvana at numebr 1. What crap.
It doesn't surprise me, though. This list is by VH1, which in turn is part of MTV, which is responsible for the downfall of music today.
Nirvana was the first MTV-made success act. The execs decided that this was the new thing, and they forced it on the public. This so-called "alternative" scene (how can you be alternative when you're mainstream? A total conflict of terms), and Nirvana was chosen to be the band to get the glory.

The difference between MTV today and MTV of Nirvana's time is negligible. They have just drilled down their demographics so narrowly it's silly. MTV has always tried to "make" certain music popular. In the early days there were no Black artists' videos played. Today there are so few white bands played I often joke with my friends they should change their name to BMTV. Which when you think about it is perfect

You weren't around in the '80's, I take it.
So they forced Nirvana on the public, rather than Poison, Skid Row, Warrant, etc...?
The underground music scene had been simmering throughout the '80's, and it was inevitable that eventually one of the bands would break. Nirvana happened to be in the right place at the right time, had great songs, a tight sound, and a photogenic and charismatic frontman.

Why yes, I was around in the 80's. MTV was still forming at the time, and while they were playing videos, they weren't dictating what got played everywhere else.
Smells Like Teen Spirit ushered in the death of the entire 80's scene, both rap and rock. MTV used that song to become a force in dictating what the masses would and would not listen to.
MTV didn't abandon 80's acts because people didn't want to see their videos anymore. MTV decided to kill the genre. I specifically remember the story Warrant told me, about how they were practically bankrupt. Turns out their contract called for THREE hit album releases. They got the first two under their belts, and then when it came time for the third, MTV told them "Don't bother sending us your videos, we're not going to play that music anymore." With no support the third album failed, they defaulted on their contracts, and were still touring 10 years later to pay off the losses.
And Nirvana had a tight sound? I'm sorry, but the band knew all of 3 chords, and all Cobain could do was whine about how much life sucked. The only talented person in that band was Grohl.

"Lose Yourself" was the first rap song to win an Oscar for best original song. That's a pretty big deal, but I don't know about being #4.
I'm really wondering what that Nelly song is doing there.

Smells Like Teen Spirit was certainly the most influential song of the last 25 years, single handedly brought an end to the big hair bands.
It brought about a major change in what people listened to; soon after everbody was listening to "alternative" (which was by then mainstream).

Just to keep the argument flowing, my five (I'm lazy) greatest songs of the last 25 years:
1. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division
2. "(White Man In) Hammersmith Palais - The Clash
3. "Fake Plastic Trees" - Radiohead
4. "Common People" - Pulp
5. "Blue Monday" - New Order
