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.

Sorry, but yes it's THAT good. Thats all we can really say that I feel it belongs and you don't. I'm fine with that. I didn't mean to imply that you personally were being racist. I'm sorry if you took what I said that way.
If you were to suggest say, a 5 year grace period before a song could be eligible for the list I would have to agree.
