[pokethunder123456]

[beanniectw]

Did anyone else just skip to the 80's? 

[jerakje]

@beanniectw Dude, Men at Work is in there...

[JohnLennon4King]

no oasis, no blur, no who, no queen, no nirvana, no michael jackson, no bob dylan, no chuck berry, no buddy holly, not enough beatles or stones. but rihanna! c'mon!!

[biv872003]

@JohnLennon4King does anyone bother to read the title cards at the beginning of this video , its meant to be just great songs that came out that year in order to 1958 - 2008.

These arnt favourites but just great songs that came out in the year it represents , pretty simple : )

hence why rhianna appears in 2007 was it i forget.

[deekyleo]

srry dear again u miss too much..

what about madona , stevie wonder , lionel richie , def leop , n more....

[djk7777777777]

you nailed it with 1983, 85, 86, 90, 91, 94, 00, and 06. The rest were probably ok, but not what i listen to.

[beanniectw]

@djk7777777777 In 1982, 95, 97 and 05

[tmacmiki]

1971 led zeppeling IV mai sentito parlare di stairway to heaven???

[figaz555]

The joker by the Steve miller band is WAY out.

[hahayhayhay]

wat bout the fukin misfits!!!!! their freakin legends!

[chaseingamy77]

omg so many of them songs just made me think of my father and me sitting listening to music thankyou i loved your top 100 but the top ten of it was awesome thankyou again

[mariohds86]

some interesting choices but nah1

[GBrady43229]

Plenty of interesting choices but had to knock points off for all the incorrect years used. Not sure if they were just goofs or if you just don't like 90s/00s era music and were trying to keep them offlist.

[thecamaleont]

good stuff..

but QUEEN , TINA TURNER, S WONDER, RAY CHARLES , M JACKSON, MADONNA, AND THE BOSS SPRINGSTEEN ARE MISSING...

YOU CAN T PUT MIKA WITHOUT PUTTIN FREDDIE MERCURY

[Pandemonium44]

the joker is a 70s song

[DanteBeoulve]

good concept and fine songs, but the years? epic fail! californication was somwhere round 1990(maybe :-D ) and lot of others were wrong too...

[biv872003]

dude you couldnt be more wrong californication was released in 1999 , go check it out for yourself , search californication red hot chili peppers on wikipedia and you'll be in for a shock ... i know my music mate

you see i dont just guess i know when these songs were released and i made sure they made an appearence in the uk top 40 for the given year each of these songs represent :P

[DanteBeoulve]

ok, sorry for Cal, its really from 99, I got wrong info from another source... but it was realeased in 2000 :D (by wiki) and Imagine in 71 (but xandris451, Shoul I Stay or Should I Go was really in charts decade later release) but I think youre bigger music expert than me so I can be wrong in this too...

[biv872003]

i think altho i cud be wrong that shud i stay or shud i go was re released after a levi jeans advert

and yeah californaction singles was 2000album 1999

as for imagine, the song was re released in 1975 in conjuction with a singles compilation of john lennon

[streetsesh80]

voodoo child is better than the other one in 1970

[brilliantone909]

well that was gay

[dupus546]

wtf?

[Diablo806408]

u so stupid for nothing understand?

[ecwmatt]

1971 should be stairway to heaven by led zeppelin no grunge? and should i stay or should i go was released in 82

[ToyKotoMadman]

And Voodoo Child (Slight Return) 1970? But of course, that's one of the 50 greatest songs of the last 50 years.

And were is Bohemian Rhapsody? That's 1975, not Imagine

[ToyKotoMadman]

And Voodoo Child (Slight Return) 1970? But of course Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is one of the 50 greatest songs the last 50 years.

[xandris451]

"Should I Stay or Should I Go" 1991?!?!?

Imagine 1975?!

I think you made a little mistake at the years

[HardRain0]

Cool concept! You have some really good ones in there.

[wcusa]

This is an interesting concept, but I think you can improve by spending a little time by adding some better quality songs. As many have already said, there are a lot of big songs and artists that were left out. But with a little bit of effort, I think it can be a good list.

[leondancer]

1999 has to be Britney with Baby one more time ...it was number 1 in uk

[Smith89123]

Shut the fuck up with Nirvana they are the most overated band ever, the list as a whole isn't to my taste but it aint a bad list and Hendrix is awesome

[pomfret27]

yea dude this list sucks. how can you not have teen spirit for 91? and you also have many incorrect dates

[ElectricHeatBand]

the joker didnt come out in 1990

[cretzooo23]

WTF?!? Rihanna?!?! OMG! so stupid to add her in a list with Aerosmith or Pink Floyd

[ruigiuly]

I want to remember that in 1991 you can hear losing my religion(REM),november rain(guns),jeremy(pearl jam) and other beautiful song...

[isramaguire]

first mistake imagine by john lennon is 1971 not 1975

[Debaser90]

Stupid list....where is Nirvana,the Doors,Bob Dylan,The Rolling Stones,The Pixies,Sonic Youth,Patti smith,Metallica,R.E.M,King Crimson,Beck,the Kinks,the who & maybe michael Jackson..........and all we get is Rihanna and Duffy ......

[tails4eva]

btw the pixies rule ... but i think you missed th e point the song is meant to of been in the charts of its given year , thats why duffy and rhianna are in the list :)

[Kinksforever]

man where is The Kinks seriusly

[almostsk8ergirl117]

you missed so many good songs in the 60s and the 70s

[biv872003]

well tbh it was a very rushed list didnt put alot of work into it , only took about 3 hours and its not meant to be the best songs just some of the great songs from those years , plus im only 19 so i cant of heard all the music from that time :)

[TeeneNY]

1965 was an EPIC year for music. Sorry, but there's a whole lot of better songs than the one here (ex. My Generation, satisfaction, like a rolling stone, etc.)

Also, you passed over the entire grunge period like it didnt happen.

[almostsk8ergirl117]

i agree

[dannynehme]

great list

[pasqua85]

great californication!!!

sorry guys thi song from the 1999....no 2000...!!!

[Capinoisback]

[Sikamikanico2]

boo. booooo. boooooooooo. booo.

[Siontra]

Nice idea for a list, it could have lot better songs tough; i'll give 3/5

[warriofer94]
