what about spaceman? that got so many votes

Which Metallica song? “All Nightmare Long” or “My Apocalyspe”? Or is “My Nightmare” a clever way of saying it’s a tie?

I’m not suprised The Killers won. GOOOO VICTIMS!

I dont think spaceman was eligible.
But great job fellow Victims! The Killers are number one once again!

The Killers can’t help that they have a lot of fans They won fair and square
Gooooooooooooooooooooo oo Killers!

the Killers rock!!!

Go Human!!!
Too bad Spaceman doesn’t count, cos that would have definitely been #2!!

So apparently there can be no more readers’ lists because Killers fans are lobbying. Kind of takes the fun out of things. It’s ok to be a fan of the Killers, but come on, they don’t deserve to be on the top of any list this year.

donovan, i hope you know that the killers fans arent sitting here on the edge of our seat voting constantly. they won because they have plenty of fans and they deserved to win.

WOO THE KILLERS FOREVER♫

this is a pretty good list.

finally, some recognition for volta on a year end list… damn…

The Killers won! I’m so happy for them

well done human. best track in the list.

i think MGMT Kids should have been in there too..

“victims” are really lame.

And I like the Killers (except the new album which sucks ass)

Lots of people voted for Killers not just Victims, so people need to stop saying that. I don’t think the Killers winning took any fun from anything or from choosing favorites for reader’s polls. However, I do think constantly seeing bands like TV on the Radio on top of critics lists takes the fun out of anything, yeah, their good musicians but do these magazines really listen to anything else except for things that many of its readers don’t? Just saying…and what I find most interesting is that Scarlett Johanson’s album got good reviews…why? Because the guy from TV on the Radio produced some of the record. It’s a terrible record in which she shows no musical talent and yet, TV on the Radio being associated with it got it some attention…whatever…

ah, it doesn’t matter, the Killers won! Ha!

I’m pleasantly surprised to see GN’R’s “Sorry” on the list. It’s a great song, with a Floyd meets Sabbath vibe to it.

Ali

RS sucks ass … its called a READERS POLL .. meaning you just insulted your own audience by accusing them of choosing an unworthy song. The Killers do deserve this . I wish that the media would stop criticizing the killers because it is seen as cool!

thank god the killers won, best band and best song on the list, hands down

MY MORNING JACKET “IM AMAZED”

c’mon get enlightened people.

MY MORNING JACKET “IM AMAZED”

c’mon get enlightened people.

cool. so is there a torrent out there with all these songs i can download? that be sweet

well i think Girl Talk deserved a spot…

The Killers have shot their load.

Human is the worst song on the killers new album, which is an unremarkable album at best

This list really got me thinking, “are we human, or are we dancer.” haha. Im real happy that Kings of Leon ranked so high, they deserve it. Honestly though, i think top should be viva la vida, then human, then sex on fire.

I don’t know how beyonce or kanye west got on her(I like them but its weird) im glad killers made number one ” are we humans, or are we dancers?” viva la vida is a good song too.

MGMT…phenomenal

electric feel good too

and i agree with the girl talk comment

Gnarles Barkley owns

YES!!!! The Killers deserve to be #1…. give credit 2 were credit is due….and RS really? Stop hating on Brandon Flowers. Run on you Neon Tiger!!!! Us Killer, web-savy Fans will continue to support… Key word Fans!

By the way Brandon Flowers was right, bout how Sams Town is one of the greatest albums on the past 20th century.

I’ve got to say I’m incredibly surprised at the amount praise for Human. It’s a pile of poo! The lyrics are awful (”my sign is vital” – seriously people?) and I feel so sorry for the rest of the band, previously the driving force behind the band are now reduced to bit-players. Bring back “Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine”!

What happened to Be Your Own Pet’s “The Kelly Affair”? That’s for sure song of the year. Also Panic at the Disco for “Northern Downpour” should be on. Also just for the record MGMT is totally over rated. They’re a trend just like Vampire Weekend.

Kanye? Beyonce? Lil Wayne? Just exactly how do these artists classify as rock? I don’t believe I’ve ever heard any of these artists on my local rock stations. No wonder the music industry is hurting.

#1 and 2 are the only decent tracks on the list

Gotta say this is one of the few times I kind of agree with RS. Good songs these.

but killers first? comon give me a break. fleet foxes, bon iver, tv on the radio, deerhunter, mars volta, death cab for cutie all good choices.

to bad you’re all under the age of 40. aerosmith, j.geils band, ten years after, the who, the stones, sly and the family stone, etc.,etc,. yes, alot of the music today is finally good but to put rappers and beyonce(for goodness sake) in a category in with rock is really DUMB! they are not rockers! how about heart, the eagles, allman brothers, BEATLES,war,the who,LED ZEPPLIN-PLEASE- RESEARCH your history of rock before you throw anything out there.

Human Number 1. Whoo Hoo! Maybe the other bands aren’t as good as the world thinks. The Killers never get any credit for what they do. yes, it took me forever to figure out the meaning of Human but it is beautiful and I truly understand it now. Maybe the other bands should build up a bigger fan base. Good for The Killers, they know how to get fans and keep them to raise their publicity. They are nice guys and rap does not classify as Rock. It classifies as crap. Go Killers! I will Always Love You!

go killers you are the best down coldplay you STEALING the song

why why WHY is beyonces shitass song on that list??? even miley cyrus can top that

Love the killers, glad they are top of this list- kings of leon deserve the recognition too. Whoever said they knew the meaning of ‘Human’ please enlighten me, I love tapping my foot along to it but it bugs the hell outta me that I dont get what its about! Cheers

I love Human. I actually didn’t even really like the killers until I heard that song.

I think Motley crue is the all time best

Human by The Killer’s is a ripped off piece of shit… that shouldnt even be recognised as music. Killer’s only good song is ‘When We Were Young’.

where is hinder in this list…i think their new album is so good!
LOADED AND ALONE or WITHOUT YOU should be there in this list..and
Guns nd Roses IRS should also be there in this list…amazing song!

a punk by vampire weekend is offically the stupided song i have ever head in my whole life!!!
I mean come on people! wheres slipknot? avenged sevenfold? eygpt central? drowning pool? the offspring? have you people no heart or taste in music?

I pity you fool! Where is shackler’s revenge.

Re-write fool!

WOO A PUNK

love is noise (the verve) anyone ????

hey wherz dat ‘the pretender’ by foo fighters….

Pretty nice list actually. Very “arty” songs too. I’m impressed. Side note: I see songs with 60’s type sound elements are very “in”.

great list !,
hey whay you ask about beatles, or led zepelin ?, READ THE TITLE, best 100 song list of 2008, great choice.

Not a great list. Here’s some singles released in ‘08 I feel belong:
Metallica-”The Day that Never Comes”
Foo Fighters-”Let it Die”( Best Foo Fighters song ever by the way)
Buckcherry-”Rescue Me”
AC/DC-”Rock ‘n’ Roll Train”
Nickleback-”Gotta be Someboby”
Whitesnake-”Lay Down Your Love”

Also:
Staind-”Believe”
Black Tide-”Shout”
Rise Against-”Re-education(through Labor)”
Oasis-”The Shock of the Lightening”

I’m glad Human is #1. The Killers are a great band, and Human is a great song. Rolling Stone, you need to give these guys another look. They’re really something out of this world

Coldplay rock (:

i love the top 3

number 3 should be number 1!! love itttttttt!

I hate that Human song. It’s awful. Stupid lyrics, sappy melody. I used to like the Killers, but this song is so revolting I now hate the Killers.

skinny love~ bon iver

yay!

best song

this whole list sucks shit. fuck this crap. Avenged Sevenfold-Burn Halo-Slipknot-Metallica-Papa Roach. just a few good bands that kick the shit outta this fucking list

Black Keys, Racounteurs, MGMT, Coldplay. Fleet Foxes. I agree with some of these. No ACDC??? I guess the greatest rock band alive doesn’t deserve a mention….

I’m glad that there are good songs on this list and not shit bands like Staind, Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry, or Nickelback. Way to go Rolling Stone, you’ve restored some of my faith in your tastes. Keep on liberating!

All nightmare long is from the death magnetic. I am suprized nickelback didn’t get somewhere up there. They have alot of great songs, and do O.A.R. Then again this is a blog and some of them are unaccurate. Just go to the 10 most downloaded songs on iTunes or something. Those are totally accurate.

dude where is sunshine of your love?

bring back Buffalo Springfield!!!

drugs rule!!!

Beyonce? Kanye West? Estelle? What the hell is happening here? This is not rock, not at all, you’re forgettting Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Serj Tarkian and a lot of great bands that should be here, not this crap, Rolling Stone sucks!!!!

drugs suck

Yea Go Vampire Weekend!
