Just happened to notice that ten of the top 50 (as voted on by readers and editors) are by prog or prog-related artists/groups.  Can't say that I agree wholeheartedly with their tune selections but glad to see prog bands listed somewhere, at least.  Beatles, Black Sabbath, Doors, Iron Butterfly, King Crimson, Zep, Pink Floyd, Who, Yes and Mr. Zappa made the list.  Guess they shoulda asked us for our opinion first!  Or maybe they knew better...  Big%20smile

Can, Kraftwerk, and Sigur Ros also made the list.

Looks like they only wanted to have one song per artist, and that they chose "safer" songs from those artists, which leads to some...interesting selections.

My bad.  Make that 13 out of 50.  Kinda surprised that Genesis or ELP didn't get on the list.  I guess "Suppers Ready" is still rather obscure to the non-prog population.

can't say i agree with their choices, but i've never really expected to agree with rolling stone on anything. i'm glad they at least included some prog songs, seeing as it is the genre most notorious for writing long songs.

I'm sure the magazine was unaware they did this. They probably have ONE rebel editor, that changed some of the "actual results", because we all know that Rolling Stone is too "hip" to intentionally include prog

nah, you guys gotta realize, RS is just a media outlet, they have a bunch of different editors, and while their reviews are often anti-good music, it doesn't mean that they aren't going to be a little more objective with their top lists.

For someone who speaks "in jest" all the time, you sure don't recognize it well Wink
(By the way, you can be as objective as you want, but there is no way in hell that Justin Timberlake belongs in that list!)

Oh sh*t, didn't know they put him there..., btw, I answered you seriously because though you were being sarcastic there is some truth to what you said. RS is a product of it's time, a trend, it will die with the baby boomers, prog is timeless.

I'd like to see them do Top 50 songs 60 seconds or less. That'd be an interesting list.
