Rolling Stone Has a New “500 Best Songs of All Time” List for All of Us to Complain About
This is an opinion column. The thoughts and viewpoints expressed are those of the author, Phil Scilippa.

So after 17 years of moaning and complaining about the previous list, I took a gander at the new version released yesterday with a glimmer of hope in my eyes. But now I’m not sure why I bothered. Surely there should have been enough great music in t...
