Rolling Stone:

>71: Becker and Fagen

Lol I'm done. RS is a joke.

I was on board until:

>1. Bob Dylan

fuck that.

The only thing that bugs me about this is:

1) it's kinda low
2) Donald Fagen deserves his own spot

If you don't get Steely Dan, keep trying until you do. I'll give you a hint: it's hyperliterate cynical New York jazz musicians moving to Los Angeles to make post-ironic yacht rock that works as both a celebration of and a harsh criticism of the pastel-colored excesses 70's and 80's.

At least you can make an argument for him. Did you see the section I highlighted?

If you've ever read Rolling Stone, they're actually more of a liberal politics magazine than a music magazine.

Has Rolling Stone ever actually been an influential publication, other than maybe artists "getting the Rolling Stone cover"? Pitchfork pretty much brought Arcade Fire and Bon Iver into the mainstream, as well as ruined the careers of Jet and Travis Morrison. Has Rolling Stone ever had actual influence over something?

>the only thing

Your joking if that's the sole problem. Steely Dan is great. I'm from a much later era however

Greatest doesn't mean good

>>73095174
I didn't belive they were this big of a joke though

Wow my bad, just realized how this came off, I meant that those two guys should be way higher and are 71 compared to Jay Zeds 69, which is baffling.

What I failed to exhibit with my post is that I was trying expose the absurdity on this list by showing that Jay Zed is ranked higher than all those songwriters listed. It's mind boggling, some real post modern garbage.

>>73096908
You wrote eminem talented and jay z sucks, kiss ur cred goodbye kiddo

>>73096823
oh ok yeah I agree them

/mu/ has a blind spot for the dan for some reason

>>73096908
>Randy Newman sucks
>Patti Smith is good

you are rating these people based on how cool/edgy they are; there is no reality in which patti smith is a better songwriter than randy newman

>>73097011
They just don't know bud

>>73096908
jesus christ what a shit, edgy opinion.
