I didn't so much care about what song was there, but I did enjoy the mini capsules on each song. Learned a lot of stuff

Like any Rolling Stone list, of course this sucks.
That top 10 is just a whole pot of "What the f*** is this?" I like Outkast and Public Enemy, but that placement is insane. 'Get Ur Freak On' at #8? It shouldn't even be on the list.
Moral of the story: Never take Rolling Stone seriously.

That's an awful list. Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't even in the top 5 Nirvana songs. I mean clearly but in terms of impact I can see why it’s so high up. It’s just one of those songs that has been absolutely played to death. I like Hey Ya! but again it’s been played to death and top 10? Come on now. Pleasantly surprised that Strawberry Fields is there and A Day In The Life isn’t. That song always gets the nod in lists like this but it’s never been a favourite. Strawberry Fields is awesome though. Impact, yes, no doubt. But then, the list should be "most impactful songs" or "most defining songs" or "most important songs" Then yeah, Teen Spirit is a top 10.

AVN is doing the 500 Greatest Schlongs of All-Time list. Kimberly Devine should be number 1. Not that I'm biased or anything.

Old Town Road made the list, but not We Built This City?
F*** off, Rolling Stone.
Also, Imagine and Bohemian Rhapsody are Top Ten forever.

Rolling Stone has repeatedly been criticised for largely being about dad rock and for ignoring hip hop, so it's like they've shoehorned in as much hip hop as they can without making themselves uncomfortable and gone "Look, we're cool now!" Obviously it's a nonsense list, but I expected nothing less. That being said, it was a pleasant surprise to see "Waterloo Sunset" as high as it was. Oddly enough, I felt they didn't have as much hip hop as I was expecting. Feels like they left a LOT on the table when it came to rap and r&b

Oddly enough, I felt they didn't have as much hip hop as I was expecting. Feels like they left a LOT on the table when it came to rap and r&b They inserted enough that they could say "Look, we're paying attention to it" without paying too much attention. It's a very transparent attempt to seem cool and contemporary when they aren't, sort of like how every CEO of Gibson guitars wears a leather jacket in public instead of a suit, ironically making them seem even less cool.
But like I said, these lists are almost always worthless and are usually a reflection of what audience and trends a magazine is trying to appeal to rather than something to be taken seriously. Not that all music magazines are worthless. Just most of them.

I feel like this list should be filled with songs that you know just by heart reading the song title or hearing the first couple notes. Robyn - 'Dancing on My Own" Should not be the 20th greatest song all time... True, it should be higher.

I already disagree because the top 26 isn't just a list of the songs from the first four Metallica albums and then their cover of Am I Evil at number 1.

Let's be real, 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' or 'I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry' should be in the top 5. And this is coming from someone who isn't the world's biggest country music fan.

I have learned from this that the lyric Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn is originally from the song Rapper's Delight. C'mon Pitbull I at least thought you came up with that yourself. I already disagree because the top 26 isn't just a list of the songs from the first four Metallica albums and then their cover of Am I Evil at number 1. The original Diamondhead version is superior to Metallica's effort.

Diamond Head is totally the link between 70's and 80's metal that never gets enough credit.
