I think most fail to realize.....the list is just the opinion of those who believe these songs are the best. Just because a group get together, listen to songs, and put it in print, doesn't mean it's true. I could think of at least 50 more that should be on the list, but, again.....that's my opinion.
All these dumb-ass "surveys" are the same. A pack of geniuses compiling a list of their own opinions. I don't agree with most of the songs.....However, a persons opinion and feelings are neither right or wrong.
Damn, this isn't exactly a science.
I'm baaack, National American Indian Heritage Month is in November (research before you type--you might sound more informed).

They were treated, and still are treated, as third rate citizens, and have been since their lands were taken from them

February 18 2011 at 11:36 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhy do these lists always leave out so many of the classic (and timeless) artists? Besides the ones that Jackie mentioned, how could Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis not have made the top thirty? Not to mention one of the greatest love songs of all time by ANY artist: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack.
