Some of my favorite songs are on this list, but :camby:. "Get Ur Freak On" at #8 :camby:and I think highly of that song. "Hey Ya" is the worst song Kast ever made and one of the few wack songs in their catalog. "Runaway" at #25? Better songs on MBDTF and "Power" was far moreimpac6ful, but nothing Top 25 worthy. I could go on.
Hey Ya is their most popular and loved song

"Get Ur Freak On" is a Top 8 song of all-time now?

Out of curiosity...anyone disagree on #1? I got zero issue with that. Change Is Gonna Come could have been #1 and I wouldn't complain either.

Beatles were always gonna have a track in the top ten but...Strawberry Fields Forever? Seems kind of trivial compared to the dramatic songs in the top ten. It's a great song, but greatest Beatles song? No. Hell...Strawberry Fields Forever over Gimme Shelter is a WILD opinion.

Missy doesn't belong in the top 10. If you just want to put another woman in the top ten why not go with Lauryn Hill.

Missy Elliot deserves to be on the list sure but 7 songs and #8????

Also no Savage and that Lizzo song wouldn't even crack a top 500 rap/hiphop songs list let alone songs of all time. I'll give Old Town Road a pass just cause it broke all those records. 99 problems a top 100 song? Lauryn Hill should have more than one song. Runaway ain't even the best song on MBDTF

Hey Ya top 10? Crazy in Love top 20?

And I know this a hiphop board and ya'll don't care about white music but Ed Sheeran should def have a song or two on this list and so should Bruno Mars (I guess Uptown Funk is on there but it's listed under Mark Ronson)

No Kenny the Gambler? Girls Just Wanna Have Fun? Nas at all...1 Billy Joel song, 1 Hall and Oates song Are these just Singles? Pop?

They may have went by the most lasting song at each number on the charts.
