I never understood the lack of love for Robert Johnson on lists like this, without his influence we may not have seen The Stones, Clapton, or Cream. He is so essential for the entire development of the blues genre. 4. The Rolling Stones 5. Chuck Berry 9. Aretha Franklin 10. Ray Charles 12. The Beach...

Listening to it...and loving it. I too am very intrigued by Giorgio by Moroder. I wouldn't be surprised to see this album towards the top of the Metacritic chart within the next few weeks.

Alright I see we already have artists being added! Well I'll go ahead and lay down the rules. We will add artists for 2 days, so everyone can add 2. Anyone can be added, whether they were orihinally on the list or not. Only one artist per person per day. At 10 pm EST Friay we will start eliminating ...

M.I.A.- Boyz and Paper Planes...I've seriously been addicted to the whole Kala album lately with it on repeat in my car l, but these 2 tracks are the most infectious of them

If it was based on my musical preferences there would be no Madonna, no Police/Sting, no Mariah Carey, no Whitney Houston, no Radiohead, No Pearl Jam, No Jay-Z, No R. Kelly, etc...etc...etc.... Well..you still have them ridiculously low, as well as Velvet Underground which you have expressed a disl...

Mattceinicram

Yep, as I expected, some of those new immortals didn't really stand any chance

Mattceinicram

Ha our games got posted at like the exact same time. I actually like some of the variation on the list you posted! The Rolling Stone list just seemed like the best one that I knew existed. I guess it doesn't hurt to play both. Anyway, I had a feeling Velvet Underground was gonna be taken out soon on...

Mattceinicram

I'll start first and remove who I find by far the least deserving on the list. Taylor Swift is out. I just do not understand her addition at all and do not see her even close to a serious contender with the other names on this list. I feel this is the magazine trying to hard to reach a newer audienc...

Mattceinicram

I thought since these elimination games are a hit, we play another one. I copied the Rolling Stone 100 greatest artists list plays their new immortals. Like usual, one elimination per person per day. The day starts at 12 AM EST. Also I feel like it would be good to have a day of adding albums when w...

Mattceinicram

Billie Jean, congrats on the victory!

Mattceinicram

I'm glad to see 2 Marvin Gaye tracks still standing!

Mattceinicram

Extremely hard choice. I love all these songs but I feel I love this one just a bit less than the rest. 40) Hound Dog - Elvis Presley 39) Just My Imagination - Temptations 38) Light My Fire - The Doors 37) Tainted Love- Soft Cell 36) Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine - James Brown 35) Go Your...

Given that so many of us are prolific listers, I wonder if anyone is yet ready to put up their predictions for the final top ten. I don't know your guys tastes well enough for that. I would never have thought there would be no Beatles in the top 40. Ya does seem kinda shocking :mrgreen: I would of ...

Mattceinicram

but most importantly it shows a generational bias in your opinion. How so? I would say that acts like Jay-Z and Mariah Carey and R. Kelly and U2 and and a few others who are current superstars are very significant parts of music history. I just can't see an artist who has never even had a big (top ...

Mattceinicram

I've never heard one song by Radiohead in my life. Hard to believe thay could be one of the most important artists of all time, more important then Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles. No offense bro, but I don't think I get the logic there. Theres probably people here that have heard more Radiohead songs...

Right, I'm not denying his greatness! I am quite the fan myself! I'm just saying a few of his songs are bit high on this list.

Mattceinicram

One album that intrigues me in a discussion like this is Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. At an initial listen it kinda sounds like utter crap. However I feel as you begin to listen to it more it makes sense and presents itself as masterpiece. Now this is what the professi...

I feel whoever created this list has a special place in their heart for Chuck Berry. I like this song but it doesn't fit on this list. Goodbye Rock and Roll Music 1. Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry 3.

Mattceinicram

Great list!!! I'm glad to see The Girl From Ipanema

Mattceinicram

I eliminated I Get Around by the Beach Boys. They have better songs that are not on this list. P.S. Will this game have a period of adding songs like the album game? I really feel this list would benefit from it. 1. Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry 3. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 5. I Heard It Thr...

Journey- Don't Stop Believin' is out. Fun song but doesn't belong on a top 200 list. 1. Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry 2. Respect - Aretha Franklin 3. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 4.

I remove David Bowie- The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars I just don't get the appeal as much as some of the other heralded classics. 6. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On 8. The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. 12. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? 13. Radioh...

Mattceinicram

Anyway, to compensate for that brainfart: 39. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue I never understood why it was considered the greatest jazz album of all time. It's decent at best, and "A Love Supreme" makes it look like child's play. I might have to respectfully disagree and defend on of my favor...

Mattceinicram

This is getting super difficult.. I'll remove Stevie Wonder-Innervisions as I don't believe it's his strongest work. 6. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On 8. The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. 12. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? 13. Radiohead - OK Computer 16. David Bowie - The Ris...

I didn't agree with that article at all, and I love Horses!

I'd like to participate, I'm just no familiar with enough of these to. I mean I know which of these songs I really like, but I couldn't tell you which ones I don't like yet.
