Top Songs List

I was reading Rolling Stone Magazines website they had a list of the top 500 songs now I'm not sure if the list was in any kind of order.Like hey here is the #1 and so on but this list really pissed me off. Why did it piss me off? Well there were several reasons. First off no matter who it is that does these lists they always seem to think that Led Zeppelin only made 4 songs. The list always includes Stairway To Heaven, Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love, and Kashmir. Now don't get me wrong these Zep songs are ok but what about The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, In The Light, Fool In The Rain or Down By The Seaside. These songs are some of the best Zep songs ever and there are way more but I would be here all day if I were to name them all.

I only hear the same 4 Zep tunes on local radio stations the only time I can hear other ones is when I listen to my Sirius Satellite in the car. Or if I put them on myself at home I really need to become a DJ then I would rock you all.

Another thing that bothered me about the list is how many Beatles songs were on it I know the Beatles were a driving force in making rock and roll what it is today. But the majority of their stuff as a group sucks.... John Lennon on his own was and is amazing but together with the rest of them not so much.

I also was annoyed at seeing all the different genre's together on one list it's just wrong to have country music on a list with rock. Same for hip hop in with music from the 60's. It just isn't normal. Each genre should have a separate list of their own it makes it much more or should I say much less irritating.

AND WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE MUSIC COMMUNITY TO FLIP A DAMN LED ZEPPELIN ALBUM/CD OVER AND LISTEN TO THE WONDERFUL TUNES THAT ARE ON THE FLIP SIDE!!!!!!!!!

The Ocean. My #2 Zep song would definitely be The Ocean.
