Shuke's 1300 favorite songs by 1300 different artists. (2 Viewers)

990. Rita Coolidge - Higher and Higher

Going to be a lot of nostalgia in here.  While my dad had a pretty cool 60's/70's record collection, he also listened to a lot of pop in the 70's and 80's.  He would occasionally DJ weddings and other events so I heard all this stuff all the time.  And you wouldn't believe how he got most of the music he used for these gigs.  He used cassettes.  But he didn't have 1000's of cassettes that he bought, but a bunch of mix tapes.  A lot were made by borrowing from friends and using this dual tape deck.  But I also remember a lot of times where he'd have the radio on with the play/record and pause buttons down on the tape machine.  He'd hear a few notes and come running into the living room to hit the pause button.  True story.

Maybe it will be on the list!  Nevertheless, I hereby release you and your heirs, successors, and assigns from any and all obligations to record the excellent Kinks song "This Time Tomorrow" until such time as you have recorded all 1000 of shuke's songs.

Actually this thread has gone so quickly that I had already given up on listening to everything and resigned myself to using it only to find karaoke suggestions for you!

 
In honor of Song 1000, I am going to use the phrase "Everything is irrelative" in work tomorrow.

"Hey did you stay up for the end of that game?"

" Yeah but I couldn't win the pool anyway. Everything is irrelative."

Caught up!  I feel like that Pilot Speed song should have been no lower than #960, but otherwise this is good.

Could I even name 1000 artists? Not really sure. I guess I could...

150 one hit wonder types (Believe me I’m sure of this.)  

50 country

50 blues 

50 r&b

50 21st Century top 40

100 70s 80s 90s top 40

50 Tin Pan Alley types 

100 New Wave artists 

that leaves 400 classic rock artists. 

Yeah I think so. Would be a struggle but in the end I could do it.

I was always planning on starting the countdown with a shticky song or two to break the ice.  I had one slated in this spot for years but I had to bump it out recently because I needed the room.  

As for this song, I'm almost positive someone posted it on this board.  Without remembering who, I'll just assume @McJose.

Yes the lyrics are ridiculous and her voice can be grating, but this beat is contagious and stays in my head for days after hearing it.

1000. Suburban Lawns -- Janitor

From wiki:  "Suburban Lawns were an American post-punk band formed in Long Beach, California in 1978 by CalArts students William "Vex Billingsgate" Ranson and Sue "Su Tissue" McLane. They later recruited Richard "Frankie Ennui" Whitney, Charles "Chuck Roast" Rodriguez, and John "John Gleur" McBurney."
