Time Top 100 English Songs

Not everyone will agree that Rise Against is a great band, I understand that, but I do think Rise Against is one of the better bands out there because of their lyrical content.

this is time magazine were talking about, its a popularity contest, not a list of the best english songs
 
List of artists that should be on the list:

Blur
Tom Waits
Gorillaz
Nas
The Clash
The Doors
Elliott Smith
Daft Punk
Pixies
Portishead
Massive Attack
Jimi Hendrix
King Crimson
Modest Mouse

...and the list could go on forever.

Sure, some of these are debatable...but seriously...omitting The Doors is just retarded.

Thanks for the suggestions DJ. I mean this as a compliment, not a put-down, but I would rather put Foo Fighters in for that sound / genre myself. Some of their songs seem more epic in my mind. 1997's The Colour and the Shape album is one of my favorites of all time with Everlong and My Hero.

The Doors are a great option! Their 1967 debut self-titled album is really really good. Light My Fire is probably the most well-known, but yah great group.

I could certainly put Blur's Song 2 on there when I think of recognizable sounds.

The Clash can certainly be put on a list like this. Their sound really helped kick off punk. I prefer a few other bands of the era personally though.

Hendrix is an interesting consideration. His riffs are so transformational, but I have trouble isolating that into one song.

Daft Punk's 2001 album Discovery blew me away when it came out. Just the very best of the genre right there.
 
im seeing a lot more good music in the comments than on the list


just sayin' ?\_(ツ)_/?

You're looking for Voodoo Child.

Rise against vs Foo Fighters is quite the battle, since Foo Fighters is obviously more well-known, while rise against has more poetry in their lyrics, and dedicate them more towards standing up for yourself.
I'm not saying Foo Fighters doesn't have songs like this as well, just that Rise is more towards that direction.

Both bands are great, nonetheless.

The real question is, where's eminem on that list? You can't say he's not well known, and his albums sold millions in the first few weeks in the 90s.

Another Brick in the Wall
Mother

Not to mention he changed the landscape of rap, signed some great rappers to his label and got Dre out of retirement. Plus he has dozens of great songs to his credit, both solo and with other artists.
