Blender looks at the 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born -- a recent history of rock.

Its pretty pathetic.

What is with Blender and their lists? Are they purposefully shit in a desperate plea for attention? Out of all the songs written in the past quarter century, they really cant think Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" is the greatest.

Is it a self esteem problem?

That choice is so absurd, it cannot be serious. I suspect they have deep problems that can only be cured by heavy doses of narcotics and blunt head trauma. 

There are people who will tell you that all the best rock songs come from the 1960s and '70s, the Golden Age of Genius-Level Hall of Fame Rock Immortals. These people are called baby-boomers, and they’re the same people who are bankrupting Social Security and invented the male ponytail.

Blender has never bought the myth that rock & roll declined at middle age; the last 25 years were as good as the 25 before them, unless you somehow think Eminem and U2 aren’t as Genius Level as the Moody Blues and Captain & Tennille. So we’ve constructed an alternative rock history that begins long after Woodstock stopped smelling bad and the Sex Pistols quit with dignity, a list of the 500 greatest songs since 1980. And believe us, it was hard to stop at only 500. Sometimes, the good ol’ days were yesterday and today.
