Look, I admire your typing skills and my nerdy inner self loves the fact that this list exists but....fuck right off!

I can't vote here, but I will say that In Da Club at 10 and History Lesson Part II at 490 is depressing me immensely.

As is the fact that I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys seems to be regarded as some kind of pop nirvana. It wasn't - it is shit, they are shit; end of story.

But hugely edifying to find Crosseyed and Painless is at 35 - Some of you people just about missed it! This obviously tempered by the realisation that this is still 25 places below In Da Club...

Guilty_Boksen, Sunday, 6 January 2008 01:20 (seventeen years ago) link

491. "Common People" - Pulp
492. "Here Comes the Hotstepper" - Ini Kamoze
493. "Born Slippy (Nuxx)" - Underworld
494. "I'll Be You" - Replacements
495. "Don't Speak" - No Doubt
496. "1979" - The Smashing Pumpkins
497. "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" - The Darkness
498. "Somebody's Baby" - Jackson Browne

The most interesting sequence I've ever seen.

Do we owe "Rebel Girl" to you, da croupier?

Sundar, Sunday, 6 January 2008 01:35 (seventeen years ago) link

headache

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 01:43 (seventeen years ago) link

"Black Hole Sun" probably the best thing on here.

Just got offed, Sunday, 6 January 2008 01:46 (seventeen years ago) link

"$$$$ tha Police"

King Boy Pato, Sunday, 6 January 2008 01:54 (seventeen years ago) link

i will just vote b.o.b. and not bother reading any further down

johnny crunch, Sunday, 6 January 2008 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Abysmal list. Utterly fucking dull. Praise the canon, throw in the hit singles, screw the rest. Coldplay at #55 tells you everything you need to know about this sack of shit.

Just got offed, Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:13 (seventeen years ago) link

u mad today

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:15 (seventeen years ago) link

DAMN son

King Boy Pato, Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:17 (seventeen years ago) link

My actually-being-serious pick would be "Nothing Compares 2 U", but this is truly a terrible, terrible list. They even pick the wrong track off "Rio" (more or less anything OTHER than "Hungry Like The Wolf" would have had my vote).

Just got offed, Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:30 (seventeen years ago) link

No, this is a pretty great list.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:32 (seventeen years ago) link

^^this

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:34 (seventeen years ago) link

NO, it is a BORING list. OHHH SHIT I didn't see "Ray Of Light" there, wish I could change my vote now :((((((

Just got offed, Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:37 (seventeen years ago) link

^^^feel free to use this against me, I'm going to bed.

Just got offed, Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:37 (seventeen years ago) link

this is truly a terrible, terrible list.

Look at this sequence:

077. "Girls, Girls, Girls" - Motley Crue
078. "A Stroke of Genius" - Freelance Hellraiser
079. "Losing My Religion" - R.E.M .
080. "Hot in Herre" - Nelly
081. "Galang" - M.I.A.
082. "Yeah!" - Usher
083. "To Hell with Poverty" - Gang of Four
084. "Borderline" - Madonna
085. "Drop It Like It's Hot" - Snoop Dogg
086. "Work It" - Missy Elliott
087. "Into the Groove" - Madonna
088. "Pull Up to the Bumper" - Grace Jones

gr8080, Sunday, 6 January 2008 02:44 (seventeen years ago) link

353. "Games Without Frontiers" - Peter Gabriel
354. "Army of Me" - Bjork

...

010. "In Da Club" - 50 Cent
011. "My Name Is" - Eminem

The linguistic mechanisms elude me right now, but somehow this just seems...wrong.

Cliftonb, Sunday, 6 January 2008 04:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Why do I feel like this was some editorial meeting where people had to stay until they got to 500, and songs were ranked by how quickly they were yelled out?

I eat cannibals, Sunday, 6 January 2008 04:27 (seventeen years ago) link

And the real problem for me is that I could make a convincing argument for about half of these songs as the number one tune past 1980.

I eat cannibals, Sunday, 6 January 2008 04:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't trust people who don't like "In da Club".

The Reverend, Sunday, 6 January 2008 04:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Like, if I had kids, I wouldn't leave them with someone who didn't like "In da Club".

The Reverend, Sunday, 6 January 2008 04:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm voting for "Got Your Money" in honor of ODB aka Ason Unique, The Bebop Specialist, Big Baby Jesus, Sweet Baby Jesus, Sweet Baby Jesus, Dirt Dog, Osirus, The Man of All Rainbows, Prince Delight, The Professor, Rain Man, Super Bastard, Peanut the Kidnapper, RJ Tha Mad Specialist, Freeloading Rusty, Joe Bananas, and Dirt McGirt.

Belldog, Sunday, 6 January 2008 05:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I like "In Da Club", but I wouldn't trust someone who thought it was the tenth best song in the past thirty years.

Alex in SF, Sunday, 6 January 2008 05:10 (seventeen years ago) link

206. "This Love" - Moron 5

Just wanted to point this out.

"Running up the Hill" best, though.

where's polvo?

Not a perfect list, but at least 75% awesome.

milo z, Sunday, 6 January 2008 06:10 (seventeen years ago) link

the answer is "Mind Playin' Tricks" BTW

milo z, Sunday, 6 January 2008 06:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry but it says the Flamimg Lips only have one song on there?

nicky lo-fi, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i totally understand why ppl would think "in da club" was one of the top 10 songs of the past 30 years.

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:50 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean it only launched the career of arguably the most successful musician of the 2000s.

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:51 (seventeen years ago) link

besides the fact that it's a stone-cold classic.

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:51 (seventeen years ago) link

009. ". . .Baby One More Time" - Britney Spears
010. "In Da Club" - 50 Cent

people are the worst.

nicky lo-fi, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:52 (seventeen years ago) link

the choice is pretty obvious isnt it

ciderpress, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:55 (seventeen years ago) link

lol who is nicky lo-fi?

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:57 (seventeen years ago) link

although with the name "nicky lo-fi" i could imagine the bemoaning of 50 being ahead of stereolab or w/e

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I voted 'just like heaven'

nicky lo-fi, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:58 (seventeen years ago) link

...but I bet I'm not the only one that thinks there were 500 better rap/hip-hop songs than 'in da club' that were released since 1980 :~)

nicky lo-fi, Sunday, 6 January 2008 08:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i keep doing Find for artists i like and every time it pops up a song that is far from their best

ciderpress, Sunday, 6 January 2008 08:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm pretty sure you are tbh

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 08:03 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't looked at this closely yet but it seems as if they are all singles?

J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 08:03 (seventeen years ago) link

449. "Steal My Sunshine" - Len
450. "Smooth" - Santana featuring Rob Thomas
451. "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)" - Nelly
452. "All the Things She Said" - t.A.T.u.
453. "Don't Wanna Know Why" - Whiskeytown
454. "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" - D'Angelo
455. "Lover I Don't Have to Love" - Bright Eyes
456. "Too Drunk to $$$$" - The Dead Kennedys

LOL this is amazing.

But seriously any list in which Bright Eyes > Wu-Tang is de facto batshit.

rogermexico., Sunday, 6 January 2008 09:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Also: no Urge Overkill, no cred

rogermexico., Sunday, 6 January 2008 09:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd love to get excited about this, really I would, but the whole thing is hollow for me because nos. 31 and 188 are going to suffer with their two voting buttons. Retype it please.

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 6 January 2008 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Plus I can't decide between Buju Banton and Simple Minds.

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 6 January 2008 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I voted "Round and Round" (#112) by Ratt because I think it's the only chance I'll ever get to vote Ratt in one of these polls.

Joe, Sunday, 6 January 2008 13:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Voted for "Super Freak"

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 January 2008 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

010. "In Da Club" - 50 Cent

What a fucking joke.

Alex in NYC, Sunday, 6 January 2008 14:01 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah seriously fuck "In Da Club." it's not even the 10th best song produced by Dr. Dre.

Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 6 January 2008 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

No "Blue Line Swinger"? C'mon, that song is like the Stairway to Heaven of the 90s...

(btw I totally read Crosseyed and Painless = No. 35 > Once in a Lifetime on a list like this as a blatant cred beg.)

Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 6 January 2008 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Do we owe "Rebel Girl" to you, da croupier?

I haven't written for these guys for years.

I'm curious why its behind "White Flag" by Dido.

da croupier, Sunday, 6 January 2008 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

It's always funny how many songs from 1980 rank high on a "songs since 1980" list. Like the placement of Raging Bull atop 'best movies of the 80s' lists.

da croupier, Sunday, 6 January 2008 16:56 (seventeen years ago) link

475. "I Alone" - Live
476. "Strictly Business" - EPMD
477. " C.R.E.A.M." - Wu-Tang Clan
478. "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" - Busta Rhymes

da croupier, Sunday, 6 January 2008 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

161. "Danger! High Voltage" - Electric Six
162. "Jump" - Van Halen
163. "Sister Christian" - Night Ranger

This is definitely some kind of accomplishment for E6.

da croupier, Sunday, 6 January 2008 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't know i mean the songs on there from the bands i like are ceretainly not my favorite songs of theirs, you know? in that sense i completely agree with louis kind of obvious!

Surmounter, Sunday, 6 January 2008 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

This is one of my favorite itunes playlists.

Euler, Sunday, 6 January 2008 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

and what is "top 500" mean anyway? "top"?

Surmounter, Sunday, 6 January 2008 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Plus, there's no "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" on it. WTF???

Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 6 January 2008 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

they picked the right #1

abanana, Sunday, 6 January 2008 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Too many great ones to choose just one....

Dan S, Sunday, 6 January 2008 20:35 (seventeen years ago) link

No "Blasphemous Rumours", no "Country House", no "Four Seasons In One Day" (or anything else by Crowded House) and no "Let's Go To Bed" means I voted for "Don't You Want Me".

Geir Hongro, Sunday, 6 January 2008 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link

485. "We are All on Drugs" - Weezer

Wait what? Wasn't this like the third single from their most hated album?

Interesting list though. I never quite understand how people attack a list as bullshit based on the presence of one song out of 500. Like, yeah there's Coldplay, there are also two fucking Geto Boys songs.

clotpoll, Sunday, 6 January 2008 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't attack this list because of what is in there, rather because of what is not in there.

Geir Hongro, Sunday, 6 January 2008 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah it is certainly too short

roxymuzak, Sunday, 6 January 2008 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I voted for Bye Bye Pride by the Go-Betweens.

Emily S., Sunday, 6 January 2008 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

no "Four Seasons In One Day" (or anything else by Crowded House)

^^^^^^^^

there's a lot of those early-80s girl-fronted well-produced one-hit-wonderful american pop-soul-funk singles.
stacey q, company b, lisa lisa, teena marie etc etc. it's a fucking amazing genre but what's it called?

there should be a box set! has there been a book about this kind of genre/era?

i'm not bein sarky here.

"A Pretty Girl is Like"
