  1. MBD will always be king!
    Anovim
    Uv’yerushalayim
    Od Yeshvu
    These, among countless other songs, old and new, easily surpass Vehi She’amda.

  2. Not surprising that the Israelis have no shaichus to understanding music. They never did and never will. Their taste has no pshat. Ana Bechoach at #2?! What are they listeneing to?

    Half the songs here do not belong. I will name some and my fellow readers can add their own. Also, maybe some of my fellow readers can share sings that should have been on this list. I can think of tons of them. These are songs that have no business being in the top 50 of anything:

    Ana Bechoach (#2)
    Beezras Hashem (#17)
    Zeman Hageulah (#18)
    Hoshiah Nah (#19)
    Al Tiktzof (#22)
    Ochila (#30)
    Halo Yeled (#43)
    Tefilat Hayaldah (#47)

    And there are tens of others that should be shlepped off this embarrasing list, which makes the voters look like fools. At least many in the top 10 are indeed good songs, but the rest are a disaster

  3. Why does everyone have to bash israelis? For your info whoever said any of those nasty things just said lashon hara about a whooooole lot of ppl!!!!!!
