Every year some corporate, musical crackpot devises a list filled with meaningless jargon only a washed up Oxford Humanities professor could interpret. Just because you smoked LSD and memorized the Webster’s dictionary in college while your peers were experiencing life doesn’t give you the right to fill our heads with unintelligible metaphors that sound like they originated in the laboratory of Hitler’s propaganda czar. Stop tricking us into accepting your musical opinions with that superior intellect and schizophrenic writing style.

Finally after years of fuming at the Musical Media Complex (MMC) we’ve decided to release our very own list into cyberspace. Below you won’t find all the verboseness that’s usually wrapped into the standard Rolling Stone expose. It’s just a straight up list containing only the 100 greatest sounding songs from recorded human history. These masterpieces require no eloquent descriptions of their “harmonious melodies” from some Shakespearean douche bag. As with all infamous works of literature we’ll expect a great deal of criticism which you can leave below in the comment area. So sit back, throw away your “LSD laced joint encoder,” and prepare to have your reality unaugmented!
