I don't agree with some of these results. I thought it was interesting though, so what do you guys think...?

* prashker kills self

Bohemian Rhapsody is missing.

The poll would be better done over a few years/generations. We wouldn't get crappy fad songs like Toxic - Britney Spears and
La Tortura - Shakira, but rather a sampling of the "best" songs ever written as decided by more people than the ones from 2005.

Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest. Queen should have had 1 & 2... and ousted Toxic completely.

Agreed ... Completely. Bohemian Rhapsody should be 1 in my opinion... followed by We Are the Champions... but of course.. .it's only my opinion.

That list is a joke... it's realist as a "people's favorite songs as of today", but they can't present that as a "Greatest Songs Ever Written" (i.e. Greatest Song Lyrics) seriously

La Tortura? TOXIC?? You can love or hate Shakira's and Britney's music, but both are just recent promotional singles, they can't be second and 5th in a best song of all times list

What is the world coming to when La Tortura and Toxic make it on the worlds greatest songs list? There isnt a single ounce of meaning in Toxic, not to mention the whole song chanted, which I can do.

that list is so...well umm

i think i like the rolling stone one better it is a bit more broad and a lil more correct i feel..and B'spears and shak..dont deserve a mention..
