In a sense, it does. It determines whether of not a song gets boring over time. The entire aging process of a song is actually kinda cool. You can tell after a few years whether your song turned into a nice wine, or a rotten banana.

But, regardless, we've had some great songs since 2008 Smile

Runaway, My Girls, Daniel, White Winter Hymnal, Midnight City, Round & Round, Shutterbug, 1901, Norway, A-Punk, Holecene, Good Intentions Pavement Company, Sprawl II, Bloodbuzz Ohio, Tighten Up, I Can Change, Melancholy Hill, Spanish Sahara, Tightrope, VCR, Two Weeks, Dog Days Are Over, Death And All His Friends, Time To Pretend, Machine Gun, etc..

All 5/5 songs. I could see all of those standing the test of time. Smile

Time is one of the variables that set Fads apart from Great Songs. Here is one song that may one day be great:

I'd rather see everyone's top 5's with added youtube clips Rolling Eyes

Curse Youtube clips! They always slow my computer down! I'd rather see links to the videos which I could visit later.

On the other hand, who cares if they slow my computer down, really? Think

Why only "Iron Man" and "Paranoid" for Black Sabbath? I would suggest "Planet Caravan" and "War Pigs" too. (Not to mention all the other tracks from the other albums that you ignored.)
And "Tumbling Dice" and "Rocks Off" would be nice selections for The Rolling Stones (I can't remember, but I think Exile was your fave RS album? Surely at least one track from it should make your list, right?)
And I'd also suggest replacing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" with "Tomorrow Never Knows", which, aside from being a really cool song, was also probably one of the most truly AMAZING Beatles tracks (I know Eleanor Rigby is the popular Revolver choice, but TNK was the groundbreaking one). Now you can't say that about Hold Your Hand, right? And for the VU, "Sunday Morning", "Sister Ray", and "Venus in Furs" would be great additions too. And "Rollin' Stone" for Muddy Waters. And "Desperado" for Eagles.

With any list we can always come up with suggested additions and deletions. How long should a list be? I have edited both the year and alpha list by including two more songs:
