According to a poll by Q Magazine.

"Q's writers and a selection of well-known musicians cast their votes for the list of great songs"


1. U2 - One
2. Aretha Franklin - I Say a Little Prayer
3. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
4. The Beatles - A Day in the Life
5. Elvis Presley - In the Ghetto
6. Eminem - My Name Is
7. Radiohead - Creep
8. Destiny's Child - Independent Women
9. Oasis - Live Forever
10. Ike and Tina Turner - River Deep Mountain High


Load of bollocks.

Yeah I agree it's a cracking track but ya know, these lists are plain stupid. I kinda expected something a bit more enlightening if musicians were involved. Or were they rather, 'musicians'?

At least it wasn't entirely Beatles, Oasis and Radiohead songs like it would've been 5 years ago.

"One" is a great song and very popular apparently.
What I am most surprised to see is:
8. Destiny's Child - Independent Women

Since when do hipsters who read Q like to name drop Destiny's Child??

I wonder which musicians voted for this one because they obviously have no kinda taste or regard for great music. U2 is great and I'm finally glad to see that Nirvana doesn't conquer that motherf:censored:. But this list is pretty stupid.

I don't follow lists anymore. They're all stupid and there is no one that can please everyone or is perfect enough to be taken seriously. All those critics should be shot.

OK, now I'm expecting some anger from the orgers now...

I agree. I think One is possibly the best written song ever. In interviews, The Peppers, Peter Gabriel, Pearl Jam, Guns N Roses, Oasis and Madonna said that One is the song they wish they had written the most.

The one song I am amazed that never made the list is "Bridge Over Troubled Water".
