The result: 254 songs on the new list were not there 17 years ago. I can only assume many of these people have hearing abnormalities. To revise and update, the magazine tapped more than 250 artists, critics and insiders. Undeterred, Rolling Stone took a meat cleaver to its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, originally published in 2004. But art, especially music, is as subjective as food. (Then I’d violently disagree: Come on! A radish is not better than a beet!) An outlet could publish a ranked list of anything - “The 10 Greatest Root Vegetables of All Time” - and I know in my curious and pathetic heart that I’d click. To be sure, this media side business of harvesting pop culture and spitting out ranked lists is a mug’s game. My lips have drivelled from muttering unsweet nothings verboten in a family newspaper. I haven’t furrowed my brow this much since the series finale of “Lost.” I’m sprouting crow’s feet from squinting at the Top 100 while wondering why it includes M.I.A. If you’ve recently had plastic surgery on your face, you are strongly advised to not read Rolling Stone’s “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”Īll that money will be wasted.
