I've read Prince has the most (nine) songs in Blender's Top 500 list.

Another meaningless list, for sure, but does anyone where and which of his songs placed?

I got the Blender Mag in the mail Monday. The songs and ranks are:

24 I Could Never Take The Place Of U're Man
98 When You Were Mine
106 Little Red Corvette
113 Nothing Compare 2 U
152 I Feel For You
169 When Doves Cry
259 Kiss
375 Purple Rain
412 If I Was Your Girlfriend

This was Blender's Top 500 Greatest Songs since you were born list. All the songs on the list were songs that came out between 1980 and today. I thought a lot of it was pathetic but I don't make the list. It's great that Prince has a lot of songs on the list but why is WDC so damn low. It's whatever.

Here is what made the Top 10 according to Blender:

1 Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
2 B.O.B. - Outkast
3 Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N'Roses
4 One - U2
5 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
6 Like A Prayer - Madonna
7 Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
8 Sucker MC's - Run-DMC
9 ...Baby One More Time - Britney Spears
10 In Da Club - 50 Cent

And Prince doesn't show up till 24. WTF?!

It's good to know Brittany Spears' song ranks 160 spots ahead of WDC, 250 spots ahead of Kiss, and 366 spots ahead of Purple Rain.

By the way, how many pounds of crack was ingested before the list was finalized?

Well I'm glad Prince has so many songs on the list.....but WHAT'S W/THE TOP 10.....UNREAL!!!!!

Who's compiling the list.....6th graders?

Sheesh, I thought for sure HANSON would be #1 w/ MMMMBOPP!

Damn it, I know! And where is Wham! on that list?

Blender magazine is written for the people who take way too much homemade crack.

The only Wham! song on there was Careless Whisper at #248 under George Michael's name. Also, George's Freedom is at #131.

Rat bastards! I knew that was a mistake to let George take all the credit for that song. The bloody guitar doesn't play itself you know.

I'm assuming my "Shake" from Son of Albert was left off the list. Typical elitist head up their arse morons.

The Emancipation of Andy...coming soon.

Sorry to tell ya, but Shake wasn't on there.

Never heard of Blender Magazine but will now avoid it for life! B.O.B at number 2!! Outkast's worse ever song. At lest go for. Mrs. Jackson or Hey Ya!.

When I saw Britney at #9 and saw WDC at 169, I wanted to break something. It didn't hel that I had a headache before reading it. I swear, the whole issue made my headache worse. Blender keeps on losing credibility with me.

OK, now I see how Adore got left off. That Britney even made the damn list much less the top 10 explains it. When they say Top 500 they must mean sales or some other meaningless gauge. They obviously couldn't mean actually great songs. They just couldn't...could they...no they couldn't...couldn't possibly...it just can't be...it just can't...

purplecam said:

The way this list goes, it's just as well. Outkast, number 2? 50 Cents, number 10? They're not bad, but why these rankings? This list ought to infuriate fans of hip hop/rap more than Prince fans. It just shows how little judgment and perspective went into it.

Was it the Sinead version of "Nothing Compares 2 U" on their list?

Yes it was and the I Feel For You version is Chaka Khan's. Sorry I didn't clear that up before.
