 365 songs of the century curlio  
 2001-03-08 20:47:08 RIAA      
Misc. We're not going to post the whole list. But here's the top 10:

1. "Over the Rainbow," Judy Garland
2. "White Christmas," Bing Crosby
3. 'This Land Is Your Land," Woody Guthrie
4. "Respect," Aretha Franklin
5. "American Pie," Don McLean
6. "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," Andrews Sisters
7. West Side Story soundtrack, original cast
8. "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," Billy Murray
9. "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'," Righteous Brothers
10. "The Entertainer," Scott Joplin
Michael Jackson comes in at #76 with "Beat It". Nirvana is the highest (and only) grunge entry at #80 with of course "Smells like Teen Spirit".

All for all, the list is decent. It represents the "classics" of the 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's. It has the decent songs of the 70's and 80's. There are relatively few songs from the 90's. The most recent song on the list is "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas at #202. What bothers me about the list is the absence of several genres.

Clickhere to read the full list. Then come back and tell me what's missing.

Did you see any punk on there? Can anyone deny that "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols was a groundbreaking song? It's widely recognized as one of the best punk songs ever.

What about metal? No, Van Halen doesn't count as metal. I mean Metallica, Megadeth, Manson, anything coming close to that. Can you deny that Metallica at the least should be on the list for opening the general public to metal?

What about rap? Yeah Will Smith is on the list (#337) as is Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 (the grandfathers of rap). Do you see Snoop? Dre? Eminem? Run DMC? Only the Beastie Boys get a mention (#191).

What about teeny pop? I'm sorry, but it's a genre now. It's very popular. What about Hanson, who according to most started the wave of boybands? Why are NO popular artists on the list? Don't tell me it's 'cause most of them don't write their own music. At least 50% of the artists on that list don't write their music themselves.

I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting. What else is missing from that list?
