I wish I could be the asshole at Time who gets paid to post his favorite cuts off iTunes.

Any all time song list that doesn't have Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone at number one isn't worth the time reading. It isn't even mentioned at all here. Subterranean Homesick Blues is a good song but not even in his top five of the 1960's.

Aretha Franklin I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)

What about RESPECT???

kd5

My god, what a fucked up list. -kd5-

I guess the Beatles went downhill after they released "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."

It was influential, and it kicked off the British Invasion. But if the list is going for influential, I think that when people say that they were influenced by The Velvet Underground, they are not talking about "Rock and Roll."

The funniest thing is that in another thread, Groucho posted the songs from his Ipod that are 4:00 minutes long. That was the only criterion. His list of songs is better than this one. Groucho wins over Time, Inc.

I guess these people never existed :

Jimi Hendrix
The Stooges
Billie Holiday
Sam Cooke
Jerry Lee Lewis
Wilson Pickett
The Clash

They had to leave room for Lil Wayne, Outkast and Wu Tang Clan.

edstein

U2? Rolling Stones? Pink Floyd? Van Halen? This list makes no sense.

jacob_b

Shit, I forgot to look at Floyd. Something off The Wall has to make it.

Matthew Chmiel

We're going to need a link.

And I agree, this list fucking blows.

Have fun with the slide show

Didn't Time Magazine name Exodus the greatest album of the 20th century? Yet there's no Bob Marley on this list. Huh?

I assume the criteria was that they could only choose one song by each artist, but still the "one song" is often baffeling. Especially for the Beatles.

And if they wanted Pet Shop Boys for the '90s that's fine, but they needed to pick a song off of Very, which is one of the best albums of the decade and not Behavior which is just average.
