My Top 25,000 Songs (1 Viewer)

[Reginald Cornsilks]

Are you guys forking serious? You have a spreadsheet of 25k songs?

These lists would be a lot more interesting if you could only pick one song per artist.

Been keeping it since college

So just like every time you hear a song you like you log it in a spreadsheet?

If it sticks with me, probably yes.

Are you guys forking serious? You have a spreadsheet of 25k songs?

These lists would be a lot more interesting if you could only pick one song per artist.

Sounds like a new thread.

We actually did a collective list a couple years ago. I've been working on my own since then.

I'd kind of like to do one with maybe "your 200 top songs - and a max of 2 per group/artist" would have to discuss overlaps, like Beatles vs. Lennon or Harrison, etc.

Read and enjoy.

Yeah, I had forgotten about that thread. The discussion is entertaining, but restricting. Would like to see everyone's individual lists. Not sure I'm ready for that kind of effort right now, but certainly different that that thread. (Will definitely re-review though, lots of good stuff in there).

Sorry you didn't like the Sex Pistols - it still holds up pretty damn well after all the years. I don't have that kind of piss and vigor these days, but still turn it up a few times a year.

ETA: ...pretty drunk right now and finishing up a pretty crappy thin crust pizza. Wishing for a Marion's.

 

[Reginald Cornsilks]

Individual lists are better....

Especially when your taste is as good as mine.

I have an aunt who's only about 6 years older than me. She went to some kind of chef's university in the mid-70s in Europe. I remember her coming home for a holiday (may have been Thanksgiving) and, knowing I loved music, put this record on the HiFi. It was "Anarchy In The UK". I had never heard anything like it, nor had I hated anything quite as much. I was still in my Art Rock Snob phase (though George Clinton was already shaking me out of THAT coma) and the Pistols sounded like #### to my more refined ears. I thought my father was going to go get a gun and shoot the damned record player.

It's funny, though. I'm still not crazy about the Pistols, but "Anarchy" doesn't sound a bit dated these days. That's something I can't say about Yes.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Sorry you didn't like the Sex Pistols -

Sorry, I was thinking of the Stranglers. I did a quick search to see if I posted in that thread before it rang a bell. i didn't bother to see if the Pistols made it in - pretty strict regs on the list.

Stranglers - No More Heroes These guys cannot be pigeon-holed as punk - don't do it. May nominate a couple of other's of there's. Love these guys.

I'm your huckleberry if you can get enough serious players. I don't know what Spotify is, though

Going to make a real effort to update the dead youtube links on the Bender top list and keep the list expanding as well.

A lot of the links are dead and the bottom half need linking as well. Maybe after the game tonight

Gotta stick with just one song per artist.

But why do you need for a certain nujber of people to do this? Just post it.

 

[Ilov80s]

What genres are we going for? Are classical and jazz open even if they aren't technically songs?

Why? If I think all of Grand Funk's songs are worthy, why should I only be able to post "Shinin' On"? It's not a draft.

 

[Mister CIA]

Somebody tell me if they think I'm getting near 25K and I will go back and start organizing this list. In the meantime, here comes more random.

Soft Machine - Moon in June. Prog rock is great when done right, which is rare. These guys nail it, which is appropriate because I think they more or less created the genre.

Soft Machine - Out of Season

Pete Yorn - Rock Crowd

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin' ... Depending on my mood, this song might be ranked #1 when my list is complete.

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Four Flights Up ... I will always like this band more than anyone else. Time and place and all that.

Brian Jonestown Massacre - The Way it Was

BJM - Anenome

BJM - Swallowtail

BJM - Open Heart Surgery

Mark Lanegan - Carry Home

Ray Wylie Habbard - Gypsies Got a Right to Steal

RWH - Locos Gringo's Lament

RWH - Wanna Rock n Roll ... Everything on the youtubes pales compared to seeing this song played live at Cibolo Creek Country Club

I am ok either way, or we can split the difference, that way it forces more artists so we could do 150 artists (50 doubles) - how does everyone else feel? No rush, since it isn't a turn-based draft type deal.

No we don't need a minimum but would be nice to have more than 10 participating.

Mr. CIA

Right now, no rules, just discussion. I was thinking rock/punk/motown/etc rather than jazz, classical but everything is open at this point. Ideally it would be something relatively cohesive that people may want to play all the way through.

So far no rules - th

Any James Levy fans in the world? I can only imagine daydream about the NYC hipstress tail this guy reels in.

Fall For You - Brilliant song, this acoustic version does not do it justice. The song I got from iTunes is rich with a bass riff somewhat reminiscent of Spacehog's In the Meantime.

Don't Do It

Rotten Love

Except You

 

[Mister CIA]

Sorry fans, but until my sabbatical comes through I won't be able to finish this off.

In the meantime, enjoy this.

Love this song, "Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel"

Buffalo Springfield deserves a little more love in this thread.

Rock and Roll Woman - a nondescript gem.

Mr. Soul - Was my go to "I'm high" song for about 6 months back in 1982.

Questions - The sound of this song moves me.

Bluebird - I would not argue if somebody nominated this top 100. It's a standalone work of art.

As a fan of pop/rock music, I've been way too dismissive of Stephen Stills when I should have been thanking him.
