Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 500: As Cutting Edge As The Saturday Evening Post

If you sort the list by age, it’s a sad little list

451 Pride (In the Name of Love) U2 1984
.
.
.
500 Hey Ya! Outkast 2003

three songs in the past four years, twenty in the 1990s.

Maybe Rolling Stone needs to hire people who are under the age of fifty :smiley:

Actually, they do sort it by age. From page 78:

1940-49: 1
1950-59: 71
1960-69: 202
1970-79: 144
1980-89: 55
1990-99: 24
2000-04: 3

Acts with the most entries:

23 - Beatles
14 - Rolling Stones
11 - Elvis
7 - Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, U2
6 - Chuck Berry, James Brown, Prince, Led Zeppelin, Sly and the Family Stone

And in the magazine, #500 is “More than a Feeling” by Boston. The OutKast song was… 188?

My bad. It was #180.

:smack:

I see what you did, Tapioca.

Me and my print fetish! :wink:
