I shouldn't have to be the one doing all the work

You still haven't made a clear distinction on whether this is the list of your 100 favorite songs or the 100 most influential songs of all time, so we can't discuss it.

Though either way it's a shitlist

yes let's all criticize the newbie who makes a puts concern and effort into his first posts. why can't more people be like coryallen?

you guys are wankers.

it's a good list, some choices are a little generic, others i hate altogether but i won't hold that against you.

Everyone here is either idiotically mainstream or pretentiously alternative.

All the artists mentioned here have the largest following on the board, I think we were a bit harsh on this guy.

There is no doubt that many of the songs on the list are great songs and by artists many of us enjoy. It's just that it's an expected and tired list, and could have come from anywhere. It's practically a classic rock station's playlist (not all of it, of course). There's just really nothing much to say about it.

I don't wish the guy away, though.

Greatest doesn't just imply highest quality, that would be more like 'best'. The meaning of the word tends to shift in context, and I think including influence and popularity is actually fairly appropriate when talking about 'greatest songs'.

Hogwash. We must hate what's popular.
