There's nothing like a 'best-ever' list, especially one that courts controversy with Skream and Skrillex side-by-side.

Midnight request line is a worthy number 1. Nothing even comes close.

There are so many hidden gems that compiling a list of greatest dubstep songs is sort of pointless.

Dubstep is a bloated beast now and some of the folds of fat have hidden a good deal of once what shone through on the younger, slimmer version of dubstep.

It's a nice enough list, but a lot of those tracks could be replaced by superior selections.

^^You could hang that accusation on any genre that's ever grown popular. "Greatest" is purely subjective at the end of the day, so these lists need to focus on "seminal" and "influential" I guess.

The compilers of that list chose "Greatest Dubstep songs of all time" (no less!) as their pitch ... probably their first mistake here.

If the list was of "rock n roll" songs, their equivalent would have inclusions along the lines of Wolfmother, Nickleback, Black Eyed Peas, Linkin Park & Cee Lo.

^^ Funkedub... Most of the selections do not even mirror that mind numbing comparison you just made.

Isn't this about as valid as declaring a colour the greatest colour ever?

Midnight request line is a fucking tune and started a big ball rolling, but not sure whether OMHB BEST EVER is quite valid.
