Estranged instead of NR, Civil War or Coma? BS.

Estranged poops on NR & Civil War. It's cool to see Mother Love Bone on there, but wtf is Timberlake doing on this list? A little something for everyone I guess. roll

I thought they'd have gone with NR given it's the big hit of the +7 minute songs GNR recorded. I like Estranged more than you do though CC, so I can live with seeing it beat the other songs to the list 16

Rolling Stone is ridiculous.  It named Stairway to Heaven #31 on its greatest songs of all time list, but then exclude it from the top 50 over 7 minutes.  And realistically, November Rain had far more success than Estranged ever did.  This list makes no sense whatsoever.  There are probably 2 dozen songs I'd put up there before a lot of them.

"One" is overrated. There are probably 6 or 7 other Metallica songs longer than 7 minutes better than that.
