Can't believe Lana Del Ray is only 35th. I mean, with her amazing body of work, she should be placed in a special tier way above LWTUA.

By this measure there are only two Beatles songs better than "Eleanor Rigby" and Elvis hit his zenith with "Suspicious Minds". I'm pretty sure Dizzee Rascal should be in the top 5. I'll have to hear the song first before I can be sure.

One day we'll look back on this and laugh. Probably tomorrow.

Started at #100. Got as far as #92. Dismissed as complete fucking joke. Made it 20 seconds into the video Coop posted. Fuck this thread ... I'm out.

I was happy that a Beach Boys song charted higher than a Beatles song but then I saw Lana Del Ray on the list and realized I'd been had.

LOL. I've never heard 95. I was going to listen to it thinking it was an undiscovered (by me, at least) gem ... and then I saw 92. [xx(]

I work on the basis that these types of lists are subjective hackwork and go on from there.

You know they're going to be shit so why bother reading and posting about them?
