[Lameboy19]

I'd love for most of the 50's and 60's songs to make it in, especially the blues singers such as Holiday or Fitzgerald

[SlyDante]

...I should technically point out that it's 10,001 songs, since they featured 1,001 put the rest in the back of the book, but you probably deserve to keep your sanity. ^^;

Gotta say, as someone who prefers music from the punk era forward (1976 to now), I preferred their 1,001 Albums book instead. Not exactly a lot of surprise for me in that era, & not a lot of songs that feel like they fit in RB. But nonetheless, give me some time & I can easily whip up at least 20 songs they mentioned that I'd like to see here. ^_^

Also, I know it's only 1 song out of 1,001, but they lost a lot of credability by saying that "Crank That" should be on a list like this. >_<

[dmbdaw]

I personally wouldn't mind seeing #846 in RB!!

[kingtonyx]

So we're not doing too bad, but there is a lot of stuff here obviously that we need.

[Lameboy19]

One Armed Scissor is in RB? since when?
