The "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years," as chosen by VH1.

I agree with Dooby about Aerosmith, even though I forgot about them 'til now. If you're talking about only songs from 1978 onward, they definitely deserve a spot on this list. |

I have a buddy that is a die-hard Prince fan. From that, I grew to respect Prince. Prince basically did a Pearl Jam before Pearl Jam even existed. And Prince did it to the extreme. Prince has his own label and distribution. So his music isn't promoted he sells record solely by word of mouth and his fan base. So he doesn't sell millions of records any more but he makes more money than most artists.
Prince is on the list more than you think. He wrote "Nothing Compares 2U." Give him some credit for that.

Say what you want about Prince, but he has put out some great music. He dwarfs Rush in terms of musical significance.

I'm shocked that "foolish games" by Jewel isn't on the list.
any song spend longer in the top 10? wasn't it in the top 10 for something like 54 weeks?..literally over a year. not saying i love the song, but what does a song have to do to get on the list? |

So what was the process for choosing the 100, surely Dooby can enlighten me.
Like i said previously, I was under the impression it was voted on by VH1 viewers. Obviously these things are always going to be controversial, no matter how they're compiled. That said, this is easily one of the worsts lists i've seen.

Murphy is overwhelmingly insignificant.
Murph, I think you're thinking about top 100 and not top 10 for Foolish Games, but the 54 weeks number sounds right to me. The record holder - Tainted Love by Soft Cell was on the Hot 100 for almost two years (101 weeks, I think) and Runaround by Blues Traveler was a distant second on that list last time I heard. Which may or may not have been before Foolish Games came around.. I can't really remember. |

Actually I miss The Prodigy or Fatboy Slim or Moby at this list aswell as Smashing Pumpkings. Altogether it´s an interesting approach to things.
