See I never said "Hey Ya!" was a bad song. I like Outkast. I pretty much always have but do I think "Hey Ya!" is better than Thrill Is Gone, Fuck The Police, FREE BIRD!, Fire & Rain, Planet Rock, Ain't No Sunshine, Walk This Way, Get Up-Stand Up, Comfortably Numb/Wish You Were Here/Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, Fight The Power, Unchained Melody, etc.etc. that were also on the list behind it, not to mention songs that didn't even make the list? No absolutely not. When I think about it that way it doesn't even deserve to be on this list regardless of whether it's good or not. It's not THAT good man. I'm not saying it because it's recent either and I certainly don't think it shouldn't be there because I'm a racist. I think more often than not people feel obliged to put a recent artist on a list to please some stupid middle aged man going through a midlife crisis and suddenly wants to be hip to the times. I can hardly think of any songs from the past 4 years that deserve to be in Hey Ya's place let alone on the list at all. Give the music time to see if it stands the test of time. I already forgot about Hey Ya.

Asta!!
