Top 100 Songs Of All Time

[spiny norman]

I wouldn't normally post such a thing, but this has to be the most bizarre list I've ever seen. It's a Classic Hits Radio Station, by the way, and is Australian too, so if you don't know a song that's probably why. It was a Top 1000, but I can't be bothered posting the entire thing here, and nobody will read it, so I'll just stick with the strangest Top 100 ever:

I'm not the only one to find this list utterly strange am I? For those wondering, Stairway To Heaven was 411 and Imagine was 200 and something. It seems to me like they just placed all the songs in there randomly. Such a strange strange list.

[MrRant]

Well it makes some sense since it is a classic hits list which includes classic rock, pop, folk and pretty much anything from the 60's - mid 90's.

[DARRYLXWF]

'Down Under' being in the Top 10 greatest songs of all time is a joke...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It should AT LEAST be in the top 5.

[Perfxion]

The fact such a list is made with no R&B or Rap is just a joke in itself, it is impossible to make a greatest list like this without making some kind of guideline or bar. This seems to be 100 songs that came off the top of their heads and written in order.

[Mecha Mummy]

Uhm... "Let it Be"? "Get Back"? Hnn. This station loves Let it Be a bit much...

[Guest Astro]

Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time

 

Is it odd that I didn't know Cher sung that song?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Cold Chisel sounds like it could be one of the worst things ever, and I'm really glad they never got big in the states.

[snuffbox]

At least this list is original...

[Guest Nanks]

Cold Chisel sounds like it could be one of the worst things ever, and I'm really glad they never got big in the states.

YOU DIE NOW!!!!!!!!!

 

What's the justification for that outburst???

 

I love that You're The Voice is #2. Such a winning song. I'm going to listen to it now. I got this playing in a nightclub in Canada all the time over winter. Awesome.

[SamoaRowe]

This list sucks.

 

 

There, I said it.

[spiny norman]

Cold Chisel sounds like it could be one of the worst things ever, and I'm really glad they never got big in the states.

Despite Nanks's outburst, you're right. Cold Chisel is like a poor man's Bruce Springsteen.

 

In regards to MX, as I said earlier, it's a classic hits station. R & B and Rap really don't fit the criteria for the music played on it

39. Toto - Africa

1. Elton John - Candle In The Wind

 

These two made me laugh most.
