Has anybody seen anything about this article in Blender? They rated the "500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born" (1980-2005). I'm too cheap to actually spend $4 to buy the issue, so I didn't know if anyone had the list. On Blender's website, they list songs 250-500, but don't show any of the top 250. Online I was able to find a list of the top 20:

#1 - Michael Jackson, Billie Jean
#2 - Outkast, Bombs over Bagdad
#3 - Guns n Roses, Sweet Child O'Mine
#4 - U2, One
#5 - NIRVANA, Smells Like Teen Spirit
#6 - MADONNA, Like A Prayer
#7 - JOY DIVISION, Love Will Tear Us Apart
#8 - RUN D.M.C., Sucker MC's
#9 - BRITNEY SPEARS, ...Baby One More Time
#10 - 50 CENT, In Da Club
#11 - GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE, The Message
#12 - BEASTIE BOYS, Fight For Your Right (To Party)
#13 - EMINEM, My Name Is
#14 - DIANA ROSS, I'm Coming Out
#15 - AC/DC, You Shook Me All Night Long
#16 - OUTKAST, Hey Ya
#17 - BACKSTREET BOYS, I Want It That Way
#18 - RICK JAMES, Super Freak
#19 - NOTORIOUS B.I.G., Hypnotize
#20 - DOUG E. FRESH & THE GET FRESH CREW, The Show

Blender is the worst magazine to look to for music...their shit on VH1 about the worst songs of all time had some of the greatest 80's rock songs on it. But what do you expect when a limey makes the picks while working for a mag that is controlled by the same forces behind Maxim and Stuff. Nothing against those mags, but they did give the movie Stealth 5 stars for the total crapfest it was.

Even forgiving the fact that it's all subjective, how the fuck can you include Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys in the top 20? I'm not a music snob by any stretch of the imagination, but damn. It's like they randomly selected top 10 hits over the last 25 years.

If we're totally accurate the Beatles did release "Free as a Bird" with Anthology Vol. 1 (forget the year but mid-nineties). I guess it depends on whether since means when it was written or when it was released.

And even with a dead guy singing...its still better than any Yoko Ono song.

ok, so i'm a big outkast fan, but no way in hell is Bombs Over Baghdad even in the top 250. Same with Hey Ya. As great as they are, having two of their songs in the top 20 is still almost as big a slap in the face to the music industry as Britney Spears and 50 Cent being in the top 10.

Alright, I'm not sure if I'll get around to putting up the entire rest of the list since the thread has slowed down considerably, but here's #21-50. Oh, and they put the song Milkshake on the list at #126. Unfortunately, that means that this list officially has ZERO credibility.

21. Public Enemy - Fight the Power
22. Def Leppard - Pour Some SUgar On Me
23. Run DMC - It's Like That
24. Prince - I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
25. Dr. Dre - Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang
26. Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize
27. Biz Markie - Just a Friend
28. Gary Numan - Cars
29. Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On
30. Jay-Z - 99 Problems
31. Method Man featuring Mary J. Blige - I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need to Get By (Puff Daddy Remix)
32. Bon Jovi - Livin' On a Prayer
33. Blackstreet - No Diggity
34. B-Rock and the Bizz - Mybabydaddy
35. Talking Heads - Crosseyed and Painless
36. Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock - It Takes Two
37. Destiny's Child - Bootylicious
38. Joan Jett - I Love Rock and Roll
39. Geto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks on Me
40. Salt 'N Pepa - Push It
41. Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight
42. Ol' Dirty Bastard - Got Your Money
43. Johnny Cash - Hurt
44. Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel - White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)
45. Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
46. N.W.A - Fuck That Police
47. Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is
48. Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven
49. Eminem - Lose Yourself
50. Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf
