Saiu uma dessas listas da Rolling Stone com as 200 melhores músicas de todos os tempos.Concordo com muitas, é lógico, discordo de alguma ordem que outra mas fundamentalmente me parece uma lista excessivamente conservadora. Só foi no certo. Não arrisca quase nada acima dos anos 80. Pode ser que o crítico, os críticos, os votantes, sei lá quem, realmente achem que não existe nada que valha a pena nos últimos tempos, mas assim parece uma lista de melhores até 1975, com raras exceções.
Exceção louvável é ver o Nirvana com justiça já figurar nas 10 primeiras posições.
