You guys call yourselves music experts?

Rolling Stone magazine is at it again. I already mentioned a while back about their getting the top 100 songs list totally wrong.

Well, they decided to give a top 500 songs list a try. At 314(!!!!!!) is Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. That's their highest entry in the list for a Floyd tune. Hello? Anybody ever heard of a little ditty called Money? Certainly not the best song in the world, but surely worthy of the top 100, wouldn't you think? I mean, back in the day - everybody owned that single - even people who weren't into The Floyd at all. Nope - not according to Rolling Stone. But Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks is. As is Mystery Train by Elvis. Oh yeah! They're in the top 100! Ahead of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody (163), Alice Cooper's School's Out (319), Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion (408), and Boston's More Than A Feeling (500). They're chewin' some serious peyote at Rolling Stone my friends........
