I don't know half of the songs that are higher than Better...

And the ones I do know... well... yes, they are pretty shitty.
It's NOT easy...

This is old, there wasn't a thread on this already?
But yea, good to see Rolling Stone judge not entirely on popularity because clearly this song isn't ripping up the charts
Also, on another note my friend who works at Best Buy says they have been playing Better a lot lately

Not that I'm aware of, but maybe I'm wrong.  :?:

Just to put things into perspective. Big Jack is like #59 and Rock N'Roll Train isn't on it at all. :retard:

It is pretty old, But is nice to see RS giving it props, especially up there with today's most popular artists.

Hey...at least it's on a damn chart... :lol: I really don't understand what's going on right now with Axl and Guns. I believe I am pretty much like he says in the song Sorry....Numb and Naive.  Surely he has a plan, and has something in mind for the upcoming year and the rest of the music that he has recorded. It would be a Hell of a waste if he didn't. I hate to call anyone this....but here goes, Axl is my fucking HERO...and I refuse to give up on him yet. But also...that being said, I won't put my beliefs and my expectations in place of his. He is an artist and well...we do have the music, which is great.Also...he may be my Hero, but I am not a Kiss ass sychophant.....throwing penance at his feet either. He's gonna do what he want's...regardless...wich is why I dig the man so much...ha ha. :rockon:

If this list refers to the most successful mainstream singles then Better is actually kinda high up there.  If it refers to the quality of the music, well then, its def. not high enough.

prairieboy,

They put it on the list either out of pity, or cause they got paid.
