Rolling Stone magazine posted the titles it considers the Best 100 Songs of the decade Wednesday (12/9). The list serves as a stark reminder of how marginal Rock has become to the once standard bearing publication. Beyonce (3), Jay Z (3) Kanye West (2) Eminem (2) and Madonna (2) have more songs on the list than all Rockers except Coldplay (4), Radiohead (3) U2 (3) Springsteen (2) The Strokes (2) Green Day (2) and the White Stripes (2). Projects from the Rock veterans the magazine built its reputation on got completely shut out, except Bob Dylan (1) and the Robert Plant, Alison Krauss collaboration (1). The rest of the list is filled with pop, rap, country, hip-hop and stuff we can only guess about.
