20 best songs of the past 20 years

The list, developed by British magazine, Q leaves much to be desired. However, I don't Rolling Stones critique really is much better.

Q's original list:

1. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” Nirvana, 1991

2. “Hey Ya!” OutKast, 2003

3. “Sweet Child O’ Mine” Guns N’ Roses, 1987

4. “Unfinished Symphony” Massive Attack, 1991

5. “One” U2, 1991

6. “Live Forever” Oasis, 1994

7. “Bitter Sweet Symphony” The Verve, 1997

8. “Common People” Pulp, 1995

9. “There She Goes” The LA’s, 1990

10. “7 Nation Army” The White Stripes, 2003

11. “Song 2″ Blur, 1997

12. “Crazy” Gnarls Barkley, 2006

13. “Angels” Robbie Williams, 1997

14. ” … Baby One More Time” Britney Spears, 1999

15. “Personal Jesus” Depeche Mode, 1990

16. “Like A Prayer” Madonna, 1989

17. “Firestarter” The Prodigy, 1997

18. “Brimful of Asha” Cornershop, 1997

19. “Stan” Eminem, 2000

20. “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor” Arctic Monkeys, 2006

Rolling Stones evaluation hereI pose 2 questions:

1.) Who do you think should have been on this list? I'll tell you my choices tomorrow.

2.) This may start some drama, but does anyone else think that Nirvana is completely overrated? Why do they ALWAYS make it to the top of lists. Does it have more to do with thier talent, their murder of hair metal or Kurt's death?
