No reason to hold my tongue with such a strong spite towards articles like this. Rolling Stone magazine is definitely not on my sh*t list (unlike another popular online magazine that should go back to "lift(ing) and pitch(ing) loose material, such as hay, leaves, grapes, dung",). However, there is no way such an influential media source for pop culture and...hell..US culture in general can avoid the politics behind putting together lists like this.
