Well, they can only run so many ads for aftershave...
Q magazine - the number-one mag for rockin' dads everywhere - has published another top-100 poll. This time, they've focused their decaying ears on the best 100 songs of all time, as voted for (of course... well, we hope so) by their readers.
Now look, I am sorry for having a dig at Q, but surely this sort of content padding has to stop, or at least be reduced to only a couple of lists every, like, year. Okay, every other month then.
Oasis - that's them in that there picture - topped the list at positions one and two, with 'Live Forever' and 'Wonderwall' respectively. Strumming eyebrow Noely G said:
“People said to me after 'Live Forever', 'Where are you gonna go after that?'. And I was like, 'I don't think it's that good'. I think it's a good song, but I think I can do better.”
Reeeeeeeeeeaaaaalllllly? Seems a few thousand thirty-somethings disagreed with you, Mr G. The top ten reads as follows (please look away now if you're not a fan of the bleedingly obvious):
1 'Live Forever' Oasis
2 'Wonderwall' Oasis
3 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' Nirvana
4 'A Day in the Life' The Beatles
5 'One' U2
6 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Queen
7 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' Joy Division
8 'Stairway to Heaven' Led Zeppelin
9 'Bittersweet Symphony' The Verve
10 'Paranoid Android' Radiohead
The full list appears in the October issue of Q, which should be out... right now!
didn't they do this
like a year ago?
i...don't....get...it
surely the readers don't need telling this every other month? i hope they don't sit around worrying whether Oasis have been knocked off the top by The Beatles.
I hate oasis
sooooooooo much
two or three years ago...
...One won it then.
Live Forever was number nine.
amazed
that bittersweet is still that high. guess it does show how many albums q readers buy a year. urban hymns probably seems like a semi-recent release to them.
the fact that the insipid One can ever get so high is just amazing.
...
Especially since the infinitely superior One by Metallica is no-where to be seen.
That list
Depressing.
breastfuck
It's never even vaguely interesting.
Top singles/albums of the year can give you an idea of what you may have missed but Q's amount of lists is bordering on the insane.
Q's a joke
I hope.
They have this thing about new music at the front which has got to be the most ROFL-some thing ever. They covered Arctic Monkeys in February.
Live forever just reminds me of being at university
and just wondering what the hell was going on and how this average song could be loved by everybody. Its a horrible artety hardening dirge that only bands second on at the Bull &Gate forever could possible love.
Oh take this away Drives, take IT AWAY
every time i meet someone under the age of 35 reading Q
i kill them and their family. true, that.
Do they
have a vote or do they have a random song name machine that prints them off because it seems they have a totally different list every single year and create totally different results.
oh and i dont read it so there would be no need to kill me
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
I read that shitrag (well, Select and Vox are gone so that's about as 'modern' it gets for monthly mainstream-ish music) but those lists were getting on my nerves. They stopped it for a while. But every paper and news bulletin short of something to talk about ran a feature on their "Guilty Pleasures" thing last month - which means people have gone and encouraged them again. Bah.
Still, they did once send me £25 when I got published in Cash For Questions, asking Justin Hawkins in a roundabout way whether he was a cokehead.
no it is 2 months ago
I just cant belive anyone still buys it
it did used to be ok in the early 90's (or at least no lists)
but it just seems to have a top 100 every issue
i mean what must there meetings be like
hay whats going in next issue....
errr....
