Top Ten Songs of the 21st Century that Should Be on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time but Aren't

Adele, while still young and relatively new, is on the best way on becoming a legendary singer, and her albums and songs receive praise from both critics and audience. She is popular with both teens and adults, and she is all about the music, not her image. Since RITD is her signature song, it should be on the list. - Martin_Canine

Its just criminal... How could you forget such an amazing gem like this? - HeavyDonkeyKong

Rolling stone in the deep - UltraGamer

This song is BRILLIANT!

YES

My Chemical Romance received exceptional reviews and became an essential part of the pop culture of the latter half of the 2000s. Welcome to the Black Parade is their signature song and received rave reviews.

PS: Considering they charted over here where this type of alternative rock was NOT associated with emo (instead, artists that had a certain manga style were, like early Tokio Hotel, Cinema Bizarre or LaFee), shows they are also a great band without the gimmick of being leading figures of a subculture. - Martin_Canine

I wouldn't doubt its quality, but I guess it wouldn't be iconic and successful enough considering what else is on the list. Outside of Metal circles, Blind Guardian isn't that well known. - Martin_Canine

This Song Amazes Me Every Time - Du

This song left me in awe when I first heard it. To me it's the best and most impressive song by far. - Metal_Treasure

This is by far the greatest song of the 21st Century - christangrant

I don't know about the US, but the song Back to Black got way more airplay than Rehab over here and became Winehouse's signature song. Rehab is on their list, and considering her impact on pop culture she needs to be on the list. - Martin_Canine

Just checked. "Back to Black" was number 3 on the charts, "Rehab" only number 19, in Austria. Well, cultural differences. - Martin_Canine

I love this song

My neighbour had this song playing and I was so excited and I started whispering to he music lol

I thought it is there! - say10

Haunting

WAKE ME UP
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
can't WAKE UP
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
SAVE MEE

best song ever - GrapeJuiceK

I think Poker Face is better suited for that list although this did leave a massive legacy. - NiktheWiz

Her best song. It broke records and everyone knows it, its iconic

Hell yeah. This is the best Lady Gaga song in my opinion. - TwilightKitsune

I think rolling in the deep is should be added. But this song is on a different level.
Just iconic

While many people say that Since U Been Gone (which is on the Rolling Stone list) is Kelly Clarkson's most iconic song, I'd like to argue that it's actually Because of You. Not only was Because of You the bigger hit worldwide (it is currently in the Top 400 on the Mediatraffic all-time list), it got massive praise from critics. When her label thought that the song would flop, Kelly proved them dead wrong. - NiktheWiz

This song is WAAAY to overrated and doesn't deserve to be in the top 500 - GrapeJuiceK
