This list is SO subjective. I had a look at the original article and its list doesn't seem to correspond with where songs came on the charts, how long they was there, or any objective measure. I think two or three people just made this list up over a long lunch hour. A lot of pseuds in the music industry love to declare that this is so pretentious or behind-the-times, not taking a blind bit of notice of what the public actually think. I think it is very flattering to Rolling Stone to call this random list "data".

Rolling Stone recently updated their list. I'm not saying to change this because it's still cool to compare, but maybe you could consider making a new quiz for the 2021 update?
