[bps21]

Smells like teen Spirit continues it's laughably overrated run.

 

[Mattdotcom]

I know I bring this song up in every other Music thread, but I'm a tad pertubed (as much as one can be by a Rolling Stone 100 things list) at the lack of "The Great Curve"

 

[Jaxxxson Mayhem]

Only 1 Metallica and 1 Guns N' Roses song? HA

 

[FroGG_NeaL]

Oh, there's tons of shit wrong with this list. But it's an awesome collection of songs. Alot of these I'm burnt out on, some I'm not familiar with and I'm liking, some I haven't heard in forever and its cool to hear them again.

 

[Black Lushus]

Only 1 Metallica and 1 Guns N' Roses song? HA

Guns N Roses has certainly had better "guitar songs" than Sweet Child O' Mine. Welcome to the Jungle, Locomotive and You Could Be Mine immediately spring to mind. I'll even take Paradise City, Estranged and November Rain's solo.

 

[BUTT]

This was like two years ago.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

11. Tool — Vicarious

What a weird choice.

 

[Star Ocean 2]

No Butthole Surfers?

 

[Red Baron]

WHAT STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN NOT THE BEST GUITAR SONG?!??!?!?!!?

 

[Smartly Pretty]

I don't even know what the fuck this means.

 

[Red Baron]

Almost any rock poll, Stairway to Heaven is usually number one.

 

[Smartly Pretty]

I mean to say I don't even know what the fuck constitutes a "guitar song". Most songs have, like, more than that, you know. Call me crazy but "Johnny B. Goode" has like, a bass, and like, singing, and drums. This is the weirdest fucking list. I thought that maybe it was basically a list of greatest guitar licks or something, but "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (a song I like, for the record) is at #11 and that song only has a guitar part during the chorus...and it's just a I-IV-V progression. I don't understand what they're listing!

I know I shouldn't get worked up about what Rolling Stone (or any other publication) lists for what reasons, but there isn't even any cohesion here. It looks like my uncle Dave put his iTunes on shuffle.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

I'd love to see a popular list actually go for legit songs in a band's discography as opposed to whatever "big" song (Nirvana with SLTS) the band is most well known for on the charts. Also is this a list of best guitar riff, guitar usage in a song, or what?

Songs where I like the guitar (as an individual instrument) better: Big Cheese (A song I've grown to appreciate more listening to Bleach on repeated listens), On A Plain, and Hairspray Queen as very quick examples.

 

[Mattdotcom]

This was like two years ago.

I think the appeal of the thread is the links to download the songs, but no one has noticed this because they're all so...commonplace.

Or because it's Rapidshare.

 

[mellow]

"Smoke On the Water" has the most recognizable riff in the history of rock music. Everybody who has ever played guitar knows it. The exclusion of that song from this list is baffling.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

'SENATE DEMOCRATS: THE FAILED LEADERSHIP' looks pretty out of place on that cover.

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

84. Sublime — What I Got
85. John Mayer — Gravity
86. Phish — You Enjoy Myself

Pretty solid run!!!!

Only 1 Metallica and 1 Guns N' Roses song? HA

HA! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[alkeiper]

'SENATE DEMOCRATS: THE FAILED LEADERSHIP' looks pretty out of place on that cover.

That's my primary complaint with Rolling Stone nowadays. Seemingly every issue has a pro-democratic story and the tone is so vile that I can't take it seriously.

 

[BUTT]

Always accompanied by a drawing of an anthropomorphic pig in a top hat and tux grinning evilly and holding a big bag with a $ sign on it.

Hey, you're right.

Hey, you're right (and the tux is red, white, and blue).

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

The main riff to Smoke on the Water is dumb as hell though.

 

[Rendclaw]

Not for its time, its not.

I had a year's subscription to Rolling Stone, and after some of the articles I read I decided to never pick up that magazine again.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

List is made null and void due to the White Stripes and Tool being higher than Metallica and Ozzy. Hetfield/Ulrich and Rhoades > Jack White and that untalented fuckhead from Tool.

 

[Slayer]

I'd like to know who the guy from Mars Volta blew to get on the same cover as those other three guys

 

[Obi Chris Kenobi]

Same list they release every year, unless it is the same list and I'm missing something. I honestly think this is the worst list I've ever seen for guitar based songs. Should be renamed the lazy cliché list of top100 Guitar Songs.

"Smoke On the Water" has the most recognizable riff in the history of rock music. Everybody who has ever played guitar knows it. The exclusion of that song from this list is baffling.

Probably too much organ for Rolling Stone's liking.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Is it wrong that I really read the exclusion of Deep Purple as "Ritchie Blackmore would school the vast majority of artists we cream ourselves over on how to actually play the guitar and write a song"?

 

[Byron The Bulb]

List is made null and void due to the White Stripes and Tool being higher than Metallica and Ozzy. Hetfield/Ulrich and Rhoades > Jack White and that untalented fuckhead from Tool.

List is made null and void due to the fact that it was published by Rolling Stone and is therefore inherently gay worthless trash. QED.

 

[Lei Tong]

I'd like to know who the guy from Mars Volta blew to get on the same cover as those other three guys

I have a soft spot for Mars Volta, since I find it amazing that the world's most pretentious Mexican-American met the world's most pretentious Puerto Rican-American, and they decided to make music together.
