Not a huge fan of this list. I love "Jesus Walks" but I don't think it deserves its status as his best song.
I just wanted to be one of those ghosts

I agree. It should be in the top 5-10 but not his best song. Runaway should probably number 1 and would have loved to see Flashing Lights a little bit higher.GucciLittlePiggy wrote:Not a huge fan of this list. I love "Jesus Walks" but I don't think it deserves its status as his best song.

Who else is having a heart attack with Monster's position at #24?

"Blame Game" and "Hold My Liquor"'s placements made my blood boil.babydoll wrote:Who else is having a heart attack with Monster's position at #24?

I almost stopped reading at The New Workout Plan at #92, even worse at Spaceship #71... especially with Robocop and Homecoming in the top 40... Bound 2 and FML in the top 20 kinda hurts too.GucciLittlePiggy wrote:"Blame Game" and "Hold My Liquor"'s placements made my blood boil.babydoll wrote:Who else is having a heart attack with Monster's position at #24?

"Gold Digger" at #60 and "Power" at #29 are even worse. Those two are definite top 5 Kanye songs in my book.babydoll wrote:Who else is having a heart attack with Monster's position at #24?
Re: USA Today - Every song from all 7 Kanye West albums (201
Personally, I'm not wild about this list, either. I absolutely love the Gil Scott-Heron sampling "My Way Home," and wondered why it wasn't included on the other list featuring "all" Kanye tracks. I think it was Listyguy who suggested that, due to its short length, it might've been considered a skit. One thing's for sure: I'd rather believe that was the case than to see it at #90 on this list!
Also, I agree with bootsy that, while it's not my personal Kanye favorite (that would be "So Appalled," also ranked quite low), I always believed that the general consensus was that "Runaway" was Kanye's best. To see it at #5 makes me wonder if USA Today was just trying to be different and wasn't all that concerned with attempting a true ranking.

Or maybe that's what they really thought.jamieW wrote:To see it at #5 makes me wonder if USA Today was just trying to be different and wasn't all that concerned with attempting a true ranking.
I feel like that

Oh shit. Didn't even notice "Power"'s low placement. That's my favorite Kanye song! "Gold Digger" on the other hand has always been surprisingly highly acclaimed to me, so this placement is fine by me.Nick wrote:"Gold Digger" at #60 and "Power" at #29 are even worse.

Don't go bananas now, bootsy, but this is also a single critics' list, and therefore ineligible (I only include single critics lists that aren't limited to a year, artist and such).

Re: USA Today - Every song from all 7 Kanye West albums (201
Who me? Never. . I understand. It's not eligible it's not eligible. Simple as that. As for the list itself I overall think it's a good list considering it's coming from the multi-colored fishwrap known as USA Today.Henrik wrote:Don't go bananas now, bootsy, but this is also a single critics' list, and therefore ineligible (I only include single critics lists that aren't limited to a year, artist and such).
