52. Cheap Trick - Surrender

Another one of those overplayed classic rock tunes I still can't get enough of.

I think a few others may like this.  @TannerBoyle @OrtonToOlsen @Chico's Bail Bonds @Reg Lllama of Brixton @Officer Pete Malloy

51. John Lennon - Watching the Wheels

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

I have been thinking more about the new title:

Shuke's (not your) 1012 favorite (not most famous) songs by 1012 different artists.

And - well - doesn't this really imply that you will be listing 1,024,144 songs?

Think about it.

1012 songs by 1012 different artists = each song should have 1012 artists recordings each, imo.

Right?

So ... how much time would that add?

 

[WDIK2]

56. New Radicals - You Get What You Give

"What the hell, shuke?!!??"

That's right.  Number 56.  Ever.

I want to say this isn't the first song from the Surf's Up soundtrack on the list, but I've had a couple too many beers to care if I'm wrong. 

 

[Abrantes]

54. Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up

#### yeah.

Never seen it.  Just checked the soundtrack.  This is the first.  Drink up.

51. John Lennon - Watching the Wheels

My fav John song also. I remember when it was new - I had gotten my very 1st stereo not long b4.

It was played on LRS - FM - I don't think it reached Lexington.

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

 

[shuke]

Top 50.  Let's go.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

No

Well - you wrote it; I must take your word. 

I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Rock On, James Dean.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

50. Vanilla Fudge - You Keep Me Hanging On

Listening to this now, how is this not top 10?

Great tune. I never had the album, rather I taped it off of King Biscuit Flower Hour around '86.

 

[urbanhack]

Long, Ware, Peete?

My first cornhole

This is the anagram I'd want if I were sent to solitary confinement.

Forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?

 

[Mister CIA]

Hey Kid ...

Wink

 

[shuke]

Calling it now, this is @shuke's #1:  Rock On

Interesting.  Would be interested in seeing some top 10 guesses.

 

[Brony]

Top 50.  Let's go.

Pretty sweet of that other thread to put Sly Fox let's go all the way in their top 50. Your top 50 can't be that bad, right?.... 

 

[Mister CIA]

Interesting.  Would be interested in seeing some top 10 guesses.

David Bowie, Heroes.

Wild-### guess:  Long Tall Glasses

 

[shuke]

I'm having a really really hard time with this next pick.  Can't decide among 3 songs.

975. Leo Sayer - Bells of St. Marys

Pretty nice song for this skinny Richard Simmons lookin' cheeseball.

49. Elton John - Tiny Dancer

Others heavily considered, in order:
Madman Across the Water
Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

[Mister CIA]

Hottest take yet!

 

[shuke]

48. Neil Young - Down by the River

Another where it's about impossible to pick a favorite.  

Also considered:
Tonight's the Night
Cowgirl in the Sand
Cortez The Killer

 

[Zegras11]

49. Elton John - Tiny Dancer

All the Young Girls Love Alice

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

49. Elton John - Tiny Dancer

Others heavily considered, in order:
Madman Across the Water
Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
All the Young Girls Love Alice

I like the pick, but I must admit that -

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

- would have really fit the Code better.

You are still in Oz after all. 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

48. Neil Young - Down by the River

Another where it's about impossible to pick a favorite.  

Also considered:
Tonight's the Night
Cowgirl in the Sand
Cortez The Killer

See:
 

She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.

I told you that you were still in Oz.

47. Leonard Cohen - Dance Me to the End of Love

Such a beautiful song.  I know Hallelujah belongs in the top 50.  But my wife and I chose this for our first dance at our wedding.  

I read years later that Leonard was inspired to write this by the holocaust.   :(

@krista4 chose Suzanne as one of her three songs.

I’m partial to the Live at Budokan version.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ocm3WtxJ5LU

46. The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

I love these clips from The Last Waltz.  I can't believe they were ready to call it quits.  They look so young.

 

[shuke]

Like it, but it reminds me of I Want You to Want Me, which I really don't like.

 

[Nipsey]

53. Son Volt - Chaos Streams

These guys to me are the epitome of "alt country", a favorite genre of mine but one that gets used too liberally.  They're similar to Heartless Bastards, in that I love everything in their catalog almost equally.  So it was difficult for me to even narrow it down to a few songs.  

Also considered: Drown, L Train, Roll On

Love you put these guys up so high. Tear Stained Eye probably one of my favorite all time songs.

 

[shuke]

45. Badfinger - Baby Blue

Always like this song, but it's use at the close of Breaking Bad shot it up to an all-time favorite.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Like it, but it reminds me of I Want You to Want Me, which I really don't like.

You don't like Cletius want'n ya?

Great song for a 1st dance!

I love these clips from The Last Waltz.  I can't believe they were ready to call it quits.  They look so young.

Robertson thought he was going to die if they kept going. Maybe it was a good call as he did end up making it to the final 2. Tough to beat Up On Cripple Creek for Last Waltz.
