Subject: VH-1 must be on drugs!
VH-1 has released their picks for the "Tops 100 Songs in the Last 25 Years".
And I'm sorry, but they must be high on something because their picks and rankings are insane.(IMO) �If Nirvana is the best we can do, God help us. ::)

"Lucy" was late-60s, I believe...that's not in the last 25 years. Great song though :) Or were you talking about a remix?

Oh yes. But I have to give Eminem credit, even if I don't like rap I must admit that he does have a lot of talent.
I like the way you think, Princess ;D Shall we join forces and defeat the evil forces of former Mouseketeers? :)
Subject: Re: VH-1 must be on drugs!
This list is hilarious. Yes, a lot of these songs suck, and even some of the good ones on this list should NOT be on a Top 100 list for the past 25 years!! I can agree with 3, 9, 11, 15, 17, and 18 as some of the top songs on the list, but there are some up there at the top that shouldn't even be on this list. Nirvana as number one?? I don't like Nirvana very much at all so maybe that's expected from me... but number one, come on...
I'm still laughing... this is great...
Subject: Re: VH-1 must be on drugs!
I don't see any Billy Joel or Elton John either :-/ I know they had a lot of their hits in the 70s, but some great songs in the 80s too >:(
Subject: Re: VH-1 must be on drugs!
Well, I love Nirvana, But why Is Sweet Child O' Mine up there! I mean, I like Guns 'N Roses, but come on!
And 8-Mile?! Come on! I'm COMPLETELY SICK of Lose Yourself and 50 Cent Is possibly one of the worst Rap groups ever made!

I'm not sure how great MY knowledge is, since it's mainly truncated around BEFORE 1978... LOL... But let's give it a shot! :)

BECAUSE IT'S THE GREATEST ROCK SONG EVER, THAT'S WHY.
Subject: Re: VH-1 must be on drugs!
I've had to look twice at some of the choices they have picked. Billy Joel's Uptown girl should have been up there!
I reckon Elton John's 'Sacrifice' should have been up there as well (my opinion). :D
Subject: Re: VH-1 must be on drugs!
While I agree with some of the songs on the list, I have never agreed totally with ANY list on ANY channel. This one takes the cake though.... ::)
Subject: Re: VH-1 must be on drugs!
Eminem, Destiny's Child, and Hot In Here by Nelly,. Those are not good selections.
Norah Jones: Don't Know Why(I Like Norah Jones but one of the best songs of the past 25 years? I don't know about that.
Missy Elliott-Work It(what? I like Missy as a person but Work It shouldn't have been on the list. "Sock It To Me" was twice the song "Work It" was.
Ms. Jackson-Outkast Nice single but not one of the best songs of the past 25 years.
Should have made the list:
Interstate Love Song-Stone Temple Pilots
The Message-Grandmaster Flash
Ordinary World-Duran Duran
Enjoy The Silence-Depeche Mode
All Around The World-Lisa Stansfield
Nightshift-Commodores
Masterpiece-Atlantic Starr
Take A Bow-Madonna
West End Girls-Pet Shop Boys
Need You Tonight-INXS
Truly, Madly, Deeply-Savage Garden
Bitter Sweet Symphony-The Verve
Everlong-Foo Fighters
Would?-Alice In Chains
