So I wondered what the Top 100 songs have been made in game and what hasn’t, so I looked at a few websites The Rolling Stone and listed the Top 100 for the music connoisseur which is a bit pretentious.
Then I have Radio X which popular mainstream indie and rock radio station in the UK this seems like a medium on what we see in Rock Band a lot of Harmonix made tracks in this, but wow there listeners seem to love The Killers (3 songs in the top 10? NO WAY!)
And lastly I will do the Billboard Top 100, this is obviously mainstream with a lot more pop etc, so hopefully with these three top 100 I have covered a good range of taste.

You’re right, not sure why it never initially appeared in DB, amended.
To this day I’m baffled by the #1 spot.
Baffled that its number 1 or baffled it hasn’t been made yet?
You should probably bold the ones that haven’t been made to make it easier to read. Just a suggestion.
Seems like the majority of the No’s are tracks from the 50’s and early 60’s, which if you look at the global stats on C3U are the least represented decades by a very wide margin.
…
But seriously why is there that much Bob Dylan on that list, and outside of what we now consider ‘classic’ rock, there is little to no representation of metal, prog, etc… and I didn’t see much from post-2000. Gnarls Barkley Crazy is the 100th greatest song of all time???? #youhavegottobekiddingme
Keeping the content Canadian since 2017!

MrPrezident: https://db.c3universe.com/songs/all/__user/MrPrezidentLOL I have to agree with MrPrez on Gnarls Barkley being on that list – OP please tell me that is your favourite song from all time and just wanted to sneak that one on there ?? LOL
Rolling Stone is a pretentious organization if ever there was one. It’s like the Jazz documentary by Ken Burns. He spends 9 hours talking about 1900-1960 and then 1 hours on 1961-present. Biased much

No haha I agree with you guys, it’s a decent track, top 100 of all time? Not a chance…
Also the songs not done are in bold now.
Baffled that the song made the Top 100 at all.
Well it is the Rolling Stone and I agree, like AFJOne said they are a bit pretentious and I wonder if they’re biased as I presume the publication is named after it.
Made some changes to the OP to reflect different tastes.
As for the radio X list. One of those Killers songs will be done soon
The Killers are obviously waaaay overrepresented in that list..
