I've always liked Nirvana and all, but nowadays when I hear somebody talk about them being great I automatically think "shut the fuck up dumbass"

either way, I don't think that should have been #1

Its not even the best song on Nevermind, let alone the best song in the past 25 years.

Nirvana Song Called Best of Past 25 Years

NEW YORK - Here they are now, entertaining us - or at least entertaining VH1, which named Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" the greatest song of the past quarter-century. The Seattle band's groundbreaking grunge anthem is No. 1 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years."

The whole countdown will air over five nights, starting at 10 p.m. EDT Monday on the video music channel. The series will feature clips of videos and performances by the artists along with interviews from musicians and celebrities discussing why the songs matter.

Of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan said: "That was really a breakthrough for a great scene that had been going on for a long time up in Seattle. And it was kind of another victory, I think, for a misunderstood music, you know. The dam broke when 'Teen Spirit' came out."

While no one performer or group dominated the countdown, which was chosen by a panel of VH1 executives, several had two songs featured.

Michael Jackson had the second-highest song, "Billie Jean," and was at No. 40 with "Beat It." Eminem reached No. 4 with "Lose Yourself," while his "My Name Is" was No. 85. Madonna's "Like a Virgin" was No. 10 and her "Ray of Light" was No. 100.

Rounding out the top 10 were "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, "One" by U2, "Walk This Way" by Run-D.M.C., "When Doves Cry" by Prince, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston and "Every Breath You Take" by The Police.

In May 2001, VH1 picked the 100 greatest videos of all time; Jackson's "Thriller," a 17-minute mini-movie, was No. 1, but it didn't even make the list this time.
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." - Andy Warhol

Psshht. VH-1 putting anything at the top of one of their many myopic lists (always slanted heavily towards hits that were hits as VIDEOS) means nothing to me. Enjoy watching the lists, but if there was any way to put less than ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NO stock in them, I would.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Seriously, who are they ?! Who the fuck are they ??! This makes me so mad, because I'm sure a lot of "confidence fragile" people live by these fucking lists VH1 and the AFI give every now and then. Who the hell thinks he's important enough to select the "best" songs of the last 25 years ? I hope it's fucking Mother Theresa or something, and not the pop-culture enlightened, rich, snob, bastard who runs this VH1 thing. Oh, and they don't give you a 100 songs list...nooo...they put them in order of greatness, so you don't get confused in your tastes, so you can really be sure what you have to like more.
-"This one will be 84.
-ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ?! This is definietly 78 material !"

It's degrading when they do that about movies, even more with songs.
