NIRVANA, GUNS N' ROSES Songs Among Best of Past 25 Years - June 10, 2003
NIRVANA's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and GUNS N' ROSES' "Sweet Child O' Mine" are among the 10 greatest songs of the past quarter-century, according
to VH1. The Seattle band's groundbreaking grunge anthem is No. 1 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years", which will air on the
video music channel over five nights, starting at 10 p.m. EDT Monday. The series will feature clips of videos and performances by the artists along
with interviews from musicians and celebrities discussing why the songs matter.
Of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan said: "That was really a breakthrough for a great scene that had been going on for a
long time up in Seattle. And it was kind of another victory, I think, for a misunderstood music, you know. The dam broke when 'Teen Spirit' came out."
Rounding out the top 10 songs on the countdown, which was chosen by a panel of VH1 executives, are MICHAEL JACKSON's "Billie Jean", EMINEM's "Lose
Yourself", MADONNA's "Like a Virgin", U2's "One", RUN D.M.C.'s "Walk This Way", PRINCE's "When Doves Cry", WHITNEY HOUSTON's "I Will Always Love You",
and THE POLICE's "Every Breath You Take".
Children,.,., Pleeze help me out here.
Here are 10 songs right off the top of my skull that are better than anything on that 'list':
1.) SSSanctuary (CULT) (Who has done a better song than this?)
2.) Running With The Devil (VH)
3.) Highway To Hell (AC/DC)
4.) Nearly Lost You (Screaming Trees)
5.) Rain (CULT)
6.) The Killing Moon (Echo & The Bunnymen)
7.) Living After Midnight (JPriest)
8.) Ace of Spades (Motorhead)
9.) Crazy Train (OZZY)
10.) Lights Out (UFO)
Shit,.,. I swore I'd never start a 'poll' but,.,. VH1 leaves me no choice,.,.,
Name your Top 10 Songs of the past 25 Years ,.,., Right Here.

In no particular order, here are a few:
"She sells Sanctuary" Cult - obviously
"Moya" Southern Death Cult
"Anniversary" Theatre of Hate
"Public Image" Public Image Ltd. (P.I.L.)
"Back in Black" AC/DC
"Learning to Fly" Pink Floyd - stop laughing, I love this song!
now, as far as their list is concerned, ARE YOU SERIOUS??? The list sucks like all hell because it was voted on by "a panel of VH1 executives", not
REAL PEOPLE. The only reason Kurt Cobain killed himself is because he knew it would turn him into a martyr - and it did. If he was still alive that
song would have been long since forgotten.
Prince and Madonna, who the hell listens to that crap any longer?
Michael Jackson, if it wasn't for his public scandals (allegations of child abuse, 12,000 plastic surgeries etc.) he would have been forgotten about
years ago - and rightfully so ...
AND WHITNEY HOUSTON??? oh please! gag me with a spoon ... :flame:
