The list was “selected by the curatorial staff and a number of rock critics and historians,” and then posted on the web for all the world to see by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone presents The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. No Culture Club to be found, but somehow R. Kelly sneaked into an otherwise decent list ’round about #406.
