What a load of fucking shit!!! the worse top 100 list in the history of list’s
Go kill yourself you cunt you made me waste 4 mins of my life
Dude in 2 years time when the Awesome Toys hit the scene you’ll be thanking us.
ha
I’m embaressed for you. Have you never heard of Oasis? The Beetles? Michael Jackson? Come on. You have Girls Aloud up in the same list as Led Zeppelin. What is wrong with you? I can’t believe I’ve wasted my time so appalingly.
But one last thing..
Aqua?
Sorry, I have actually never heard of the Beetles.
its err its funny coausr the guy who was like
I’m embaressed for you. Have you never heard of Oasis? The Beetles? Michael Jackson?
was trying to be all high and mighy and spelt the beatles wrong
fagggggggooootttttttt
yeah.
THIS IS SHIT….. not the list. all u guys who waste more of ur time slagging it than finding another f**kin list. why. yes list is not vry good. but look at the background of the website. does tht not tell u somethin??/????? assholes
bull shit
i think the person who wrote this list had some major issues, hey while your at it why not put the theme tune to balomory on there, or maybe the cheeky girls?
thought not…..rewrite the list for all that is good god damn it!
:)
Top 100 people with apparently no taste
1. YOU MOTHAFUCKA!
This is a crappy website!
But.. sorry for that comment, guys i’d like to see YOU try make one of these. C’mon though.. Aqua.. Not even Barbie Girl either!
wheres micheal jackson, eric clapton, tori amos, oasis etc :|
oh well each to their own people may disagree with mine :L
xox
You are so stupid we cant just waste our time loging on your website every time we want to see the top 30 Man I know now that my friend is such a lunatic for recomending this stupid website. And where are all the great singers like justin timberlake and chris brown and the others instead of these stupid poeple!
scarlett, please be kidding …
oh, and most of these top 100 lists are crap .. because they are based on opinion, not fact. but this list is one of the worst!
this list is based on science
This is the most awesome Top 100 list I think I’ve ever seen, and this when it only has 64 songs on it (to date).
I love and am freakishly intimidated by the FT aesthetic of taking some of the most sneered-at, (superficially) no-brow music in history and subjecting it to stringent levels of indie-snob-type fanalysis. Just who is it all meant to be for? I don’t know, but apparently I’m one of them.
I love how half these dudes denouncing this list recommend Oasis.
I looked at the list and chose a few songs I had forgotten about like “Teenage Kicks” by The Undertones and “On My Radio” by The Selecter to download from Limewire. Top work my friend because without you publishing this list I would not have remembered I loved these 2 songs – nice one brother/sister??
By the way I can’t believe all of you whiny assed knob jockeys who chose to abuse whoever published this list! Can you all not just respect someone’s OWN choice and their decision to publish it!!
All you orrible cunts who chose to abuse whoever wrote this are all proof that shit can grow fingers and type!! I also bet you all were the first in your families not to grow tails weren’t ya? Yea I don’t know what all your problems are but I bet they’re really hard to pronounce! You’re all depriving villages somewhere of idiots so shuffle off home! When you were all born the doctor slapped your mama’s not your ass!
Queen – We Will rock you
queen bohemian rhapsody
queen another one bites the dust
mariah carey- all i want for christmas is you
the beatles- hey jude
elvis- jailhouse rock
elvis- hound dog
elvis- love me tender
Where Are The Classics??!?!?!
We are the World – Pavarotti and Friends… The Best Song Ever
ok this list sucks. and immigrant song is NOT one of the better zeppelin songs. There should be more zeppelin on there, just because a band is great doesn’t mean they can’t have more songs on a list than anyone else. And I hope you were planning on making Stairway your number 1.
this list was poor…..so poor.
lots of one hit wonders with no talent…..
REVEALED AT LAST: 30 to 21
There! All you whiners! Joy Division are in there. And only one place below Scooter.
commenters should be forced to read “A Note on Methodology”, which says
“The theory is that people’s truest aesthetic preferences come out under the influence of some substance or other”
and
“we’ll be counting these down over the next few months”
(where few= at least 50)
On word i think this site should be deleted i am 35 and have never heard of half these where is queen where is micheal jackson rod stewart god get rid of this its so fake!
WTF?!!THIS IS WHAT YOU NAME TOP 100 SONGS OF ALL TIME??C’MON…THIS TOP IS A BULLSHIT..SCOOTER,TATU,AQUA,GIRLS ALOUD …ETC IN TOP 100 SONGS OF ALL TIME?I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING AS STUPID AS THIS TOP IS …
