But all these list really do is sell magazines and create a lot of controversy and arguments. They lose all credibility with me when they start having things by Jay-Z and Fifty Cent included.

Good point. So much of art appreciation seems to come from an emotional connection to it. Something that comes from the heart and never the head. Seems to depend a lot on what you were doing when you fell in love with the song and whatever kind of emotional bound you have to it.
I can see some groups having that kind of connection to the songs of Fifty Cent and Jay-Z. They do not connect with me all that much because I never really had the kind of experiences they are singing about.
