What Fleetwood Mac made the list? Obviously the list is flawed. Rap sucks. No way any rap song, and song is used loosely there is better than Rhainnon or any other Fleetwood Mac song.

I think "Go Your Own Way" is the only FM on the list, which is strange considering Blondie has three tracks in the top 300.
It's obvious that publisher Jann Wenner's favorites dominate the list, which is only published to generate conversation/arguments which lead to traffic on the website. But, they did cover Stevie's birthday show, so I'm not ready to dismiss RS entirely.

Jann Wenner wouldn't know good music if it bit his whiny little ass.
There are only two songs in that batch of "new" ones that I would even SLIGHTLY consider owning. I pretty much own about 80% of the ones that got replaced.

 Music is incredibly subjective (...duh?), and just because you don't care for a certain genre does not means that everything in it sucks. I'm really not into rap--I own very little and really only play it when I have friends over getting ready to go out or something (they tend to react more favorably to Jeezy than The Wild Heart  ). Without ever seeking it out, though, I've heard enough rap to know that some of it is pretty musically brilliant. Take "Jesus Walks"--I'm not a fan of the message behind it and I find Kanye personally repugnant, but that song is really impressive--the rhymes are brilliant, and the sampling of spiritual music is really powerful. Again, this isn't my style and though I can appreciate it, I've probably played it less than even my least favorite Mac songs. But honestly? I think it's a lot more impressive than, say, "Empire State." But of course that's only my opinion, and entirely subjective. Believe me, I'm pissed about Rhiannon. But this list is so, so not worth any of us getting our panties in a twist over. I love many of the cut songs, but plenty of the new songs are pretty brilliant (Maps, Rehab, Crazy, Paper Planes, Clocks, Beautiful Day...). And at the end of the day, how many people actually go through the entire list up to 500, trying every song they've never heard? The top 100 probably counts for something, but I don't think Rhiannon was winning many new fans or great stature at #488. And Rolling Stone is not trying to destroy the music business--they're trying to sell magazines at a time when printed press and music and the music industry are both hurtling towards destruction. *Oh, and they're probably going mainly off of officially released versions, right? I think Rosebud Rhiannon might be the single greatest performance of any song in history, but the White album version is considerably less spectacular. Just a thought...

The Gaggle-com Tori TelferWednesday, June 26, 2013
http://the-gaggle.com/2013/06/6-song...-are-about-us/ 6 Songs We Secretly Think Are About Us 3. “Rhiannon” by Fleetwood Mac The tasteful quote that I put at the top of my resume: rings like a bell in the night/and wouldn’t you love to love her Stevie Nicks wrote this song about “a long, cool woman in a black dress,” which I’m pretty sure is what I look like when I put on my $12 poly-blend H&M t-shirt dress, RIGHT?! This song describes the type of haunting lover that we all want to be in our darker moods: elusive, unsurpassable, and compared to both birds and cats in the same breath.

Well at least Rhiannon was near the bottom of the list, so it makes sense that it would drop off. On the other hand, with only 26 new songs added, why did the song at #114 get eliminated? I guess it got a lot less good in those few years.

Rolling Stone sucks. Just like the Grammys. They cannot tell good music if it hit them in the face.

Given how many decades of pop music Rolling Stone (and similar publications) concerns itself with, there's bound to be a lot of great songs that won't make it. I do think distance is good for making these kinds of lists, but other than that, there'll always be disagreements. Lots of people out there (and in here
) think "Rhiannon" is crap. At least it was on for a while, it might hop back on again in the future.I think these lists are interesting more in what they reveal about ideas of taste than anything else. Also there's that constant tension between whether opinions of an elite (ie so-called "informed" editors) or opinions of the masses matter more, or equally, or at all.

Okay, NO list that drops Graceland, Free Man in Paris, Desperado, AND Rhiannon is legit...
