OK, OK but I'm not being lazy. I've run out of time. This is a cut and paste of canoe.ca on Time Magazines Top song choices:
"Dylan's 1965 release Subterranean Homesick Blues, Cash's Folsom Prison Blues (1955), Nirvana classic Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991) and Jackson's 1982 chart hit Billie Jean all appear on the unranked list, alongside tunes by the likes of Madonna (Borderline), Beyonce (Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)), Lady Gaga (Bad Romance), Sinead O'Connor (Nothing Compares 2 U), Radiohead (Paranoid Android) and Prince (Kiss). Others mentioned in the top 100 countdown include Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, R.E.M., Led Zeppelin, Dolly Parton, The Who, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G. and Queen"
So at a glance (and I'll try to find the entire list at some point) the most obvious question is: what happened to jazz and the American Songbook"? Why include country and not pop?
The other thing is, I guess by definition but, isn't it a little obvious?
