Should be No.1!!!

But James Blunt makes a mockery out of this list - god, I hate that song.

I can't believe that is there, its a total mockery of good music. Its been out for what, 6 months? That isn't enough time to make a judgement.

I'm always surprised so many people know about U2's One and think it is so good. I was under the impression it was a niche song.

Interesting, i think One was # 2 last year. Here's U2's other songs on the list :

# 500 - Even Better...
# 332 - Angel Of Harlem
# 342 - Sweetest Thing
# 317 - Unforgettable Fire
# 288 - Beautiful Day
# 84 - Vertigo
# 66 - Pride
# 48 - ISHFWILFD
? # 47 - # 11 ?
# 4 - One

There must be 6 others between #'s 47 & 11 which, i think, is better than last year. In fact i don't think they've ever had 8 in the top 50 ! Has anyone got the other 6 ?

 

[thelaj]

Its funny how people think...

 

[edge3]

... just found the others (didn't look too carefully the 1st time) :

# 15 - WOWY
# 105 - Streets
# 138 - Sunday...
# 167 - NYD
# 302 - Sometimes...
# 466 - Desire

I tihnk it should be number 1 but that's just me. And by the way Blunt ruins that list

 

[thelaj]

U2 have done well on that list then

And yeah, James C*nt ruins that list. Actually, I have his album and its not too bad, but please, that is NOT the 10th greatest song ever! HAHAHA!

Hey is that Robbie Williams song really THAT good? Maybe because I live in the states, I have never heard it, if I recall correctly. Is he just uber popular across the "pond" because he hasn't had a hit over here in forever.

Someone post a link so I can listen.

 

[edge3]

Just done a bit more research & last year U2 had the 2nd most songs of any artist on this list with 17 & One WAS # 2. Beatles were top again but only with 22 songs.

Hey is that Robbie Williams song really THAT good?

Nope. And it got shoved down my throat since MTV2 was all over the guy for about a year. Luckily, he never gained a following here in the states.

[Windmilllane]

Spice Girls were robbed. The should have at least five songs in the top 10.

Spice Girls were robbed. The should have at least five songs in the top 10.

5 members of Spice Girls > 4 members of U2

I agree, recount!!!

GIRL POWER! (not a girl)

 

[cjboog]

OMG I HATE JAMES BLUNT, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL IS AN ABSOLUTELY AWFUL SONG!!!

 

[MacHat]

Good to see One up there, James Idiot Blunt and Robbie shouldn't be up there IMO, and where's Led Zep?
