Bold the songs you have on VH1's Top 100 songs.

Ah, that makes more sense. I thought that VH1 was actually compiling a list of the best songs of all time, not just during a given period of time.

Take care all.

It's still a terrible list.

No argument here.

Take care all.

Yeah, I'm not debating that. It's like LB said, it's what you're use to. Orchestras are one of the most difficult pieces of music ever to assemble, yet they get little to no credit at all as one of the great music pieces ever.

That's a pretty terrible list. I don't see why artists like Nelly and Britney Spears, and Backstreet Boys are up there with arists like Van Halen, Talking Heads, and Eric Clapton.

Yeah, Bohemian Rhapsody would have been on there if the dates were different I suspect.

Most songs on there that I recognised I thought deserved at least a consideration. The only one that I really don't want up there is Missy Elliott, `Work It'' *shivers*

Christ, that's awful. So limited!
