Dylan Plucks No. 1 Song of All Time

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rolling Stone magazine has named the top 500 songs of
all-time, and, well, the No. 1 song isn't exactly a complete unknown.
Bob Dylan's ``Like a Rolling Stone'' tops the list, compiled from votes by
172 critics and musicians including Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchell and Jeff
Tweedy of Wilco.
``No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the
commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all-time,'' writes
senior editor David Fricke in the latest issue of the magazine.
Following ``Like a Rolling Stone'' are the Rolling Stones' ``(I Can't Get
No) Satisfaction,'' John Lennon's ``Imagine,'' Marvin Gaye's ``What's Going
On'' and Aretha Franklin's ``Respect.''
``It's worth noting that 'Like a Rolling Stone' and `Satisfaction' were
recorded within a month of each other,'' Fricke told The Associated Press
Wednesday. ``It says a lot about how fast pop music was moving at that
time.''
Rounding out the top 10: ``Good Vibrations'' by the Beach Boys, ``Johnny B.
Goode'' by Chuck Berry, the Beatles' ``Hey Jude,'' Nirvana's ``Smells Like
Teen Spirit'' and Ray Charles' ``What'd I Say.''
Though the list is heavy on the `50s, `60s and `70s (voters were told to
focus on ``the rock 'n' roll era''), the most recent song is 2003's ``Hey
Ya!'' by OutKast, charting at No. 180.
Squeaking in as the 500th all-time best song is Boston's ``More Than a
Feeling.''

What a jackass. Who gives a flying fuck what his students would choose. He says that "80's music is very significant to them". What does that mean....that Duran Duran would grab the number 1 spot with these brilliant students?I'd go into how idiotic this article is, but it's Friday and I want my weekend to start off smooth. |
