Update (thanks mowino!): This list, originally published in August 2015, has been edited to reflect the ranking of the 12 new songs released on Beyoncé’s Lemonade album, as well her feature last year on Naughty Boy’s “Runnin’ (Lose It All).” 176. “Back to Black” (w/ André 3000) (The Great Gatsby OST...

Nevermind their ranks, the top 31 are all essential listen, great job there! Still there are some songs that are ranked too low for my taste (little love for The King of Limbs from CoS eh): 51.

The weird thing about Simone is that she actually seems to be highly regarded, but somehow doesn't show up in lists. Nobody seems to deny her stature and the greatness of her body of work. It's weird that she doesn't appear on more lists. I agree. When current artists and guys trying to impress the...

Nick we'll just have to agree to disagree. I love that there is someone else on here who is passionate about hip-hop on here so I got mad respect for you there but we just see it differently about the eras of hip hop that should be represented significantly and that's ok. Everyone has their favorit...

93 Til Infinity and the version of Ante Up they picked are both in my top 200 of all time ! For pretty different reasons though, Souls of Mischief made a cool chill out song while M.O.P. and friends made a raucous party anthem with a massive sound and way more fun that most albums pack. Both have v...

Oh Stan is there. Thanks for pointing it out Nassim. I agree, RS actually produced a "better than the usual" list. I like that I haven't heard some songs (93 til Infinity, Ante Up, Beat Bop) and liked them after hearing them. I'm not even disappointed by RS's surprise picks of an artist's ...

Just watched "It's a Wonderful Life". Really great movie, brought a couple tears to my eyes during the end. It probably would've placed high on my list had I seen it in time, but it looks like it didn't need my help to get a high position. A great start to my journey through the unseen mo...

Limiting one album per artist is doing a real disservice to some great punk albums. I find it hard to take a top 40 punk albums list without London Calling very seriously, and American Idiot definitely deserves a spot as well, in my opinion. Also, what on earth is Blink-182 doing on this list?! I a...

Probably no composers (the one's I've mentioned) for me too but my list is going to be eclectic. I have majority of artists in my mind right now but the hard part is ranking them, I'm going to take my sweet time considering that the deadline is still on June 30. I will add comments too.

Nothing wrong with multiple entries. They're called cinematic and musical geniuses for a reason. However, I feel some directors or some of their films were left out: D.W. Griffith, Bernardo Bertolluci, Spielberg's E.T. & Saving Private Ryan, Luis Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou & The Discreet Char...

The big question as usual: classical composer and Film Music composer are OK or not? I would prefer if these were not included. I don't want to compare Beethoven to Bryan Adams. I see it as a poll for performing artists. It's always difficult to draw a clear line though, since I will include electr...

Also, I really enjoy "No Surprises," but I'm always surprised ;) at the reception it gets. It has the most votes in this poll and I expect it to breach the top 1000 on AM sooner or later. Anyone who included it among their favorites care to discuss their love for it? Not my most favorite ...

Really not a single vote for 'The Red Shoes' in 2012?! Many film masterpieces were left out in the final list so I'm not surprised by the big jumps by the new films in the Top 100.

So, regardless of the above lists, remember to vote for your favorite artists, not for the “greatest” or “most influential”. Pick the artists whose music really means the most to you! Can I vote for artists not known to produce works in the English language? say Edith Piaf, Celia Cruz, Amalia Rodri...

Hmm... I remember Princess Mononoke had adult characters (okay, the two leads were late teenagers) and that movie happened to be his most densest in thematic elements. Howl's Moving Castle has adult characters. The Wind Rises has adult characters. Nausicaa is a late teenager. I clearly stated "...

Good thing they didn't swamp the list with Nirvana songs. I like genre-specific lists because you get to see some unexpected choices. While I think "Superunknown" is a solid and underrated grunge song I think it should swap ranks with "Rearviewmirror", a superior song which is al...

I don't agree with putting the reviews or praises from critics and journalists. Where's the fun in that? Anyways, there are more than enough people here willing to write their opinions of a film. If you look at past poll results the comments will come. I'm more interested in their thoughts than thos...

Dexter

I think BleuPanda is disappointed by the comments because they were not well-crafted and thus appears overtly negative. I think the problem is it takes time to rank these films and longer time to comment on them. I suggest we tackle each film by rank one by one and offer our opinions one by one too ...

Dexter

It is important to distinguish what you like from what is good. I don't think any self-respecting reviewer gives an album a thumbs-up solely because that's the consensus among other reviewers and not based on his or her assessment. Although a casual music-lover might do that, which just comes off a...

Well, wasn't this obviously expected to happen? When you forget to distinguish the great from the good from the mediocre from the bad, you're giving the listener far too many recommendations they won't like.

Unrelated to the video, but this didn't occur to me until just now: the next time we do this poll, I say we DON'T count remixes separately from the original song. No remixes made the list (except "Ignition" which is not really a standard case), and I don't think anyone put multiple mixes ...

A video like that for the Top 100 would have been excellent, let alone 1001 songs. No doubt, the list is better appreciated with visuals and audio snippets.

These kinds of radio-station lists are questionable, at least to me. I only say that because a local top 40 station, for instance, usually runs its Firecracker 500 around Fourth of July, and it's not a ranking of what the station thinks are the "best songs" or anything like that. Other st...
