Rolling Stone just issued a Special Collector's Issue featuring "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". To see the list for yourself, go to:

If you want to write to them about it, here's the address:

And here's the letter I wrote to them:

"The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" from the Rock & Roll era - but nothing by legendary artist Meat Loaf in this list? None of Jim Steinman's lovely ballads or epic rock songs delivered with Meat Loaf's signature unabashed passion?? Nothing from the highly original and best-selling album Bat Out of Hell???

I can understand how a poll of people in the music industry could result in a popularity contest - in your own words: "Lisa Marie Presley is one serious Daddy's Girl" - but that's where editors step in and earn their paychecks. I don't feel your editors are doing their jobs.

Issue 963 is the last one in my current subscription, but unless you can offer a good explanation for this oversight, I won't renew.
