As you voted for "WFL" in the 1988 poll, I can't count this one, but everything else is good to go. It was with the "Think About The Future" mix the song was "ready" (imo) so it's a different version. Have not followed any discussion of rules but my gut feeling is the 89 version is the one to be co...

Never had "Where Is My Mind" as a true favourite. This piano cover finds the right tone, though:

"Green Onions" and "Misirlou" projected high and now The "Egyptian Reggae" on place 293. Exciting! I had trouble coming up with a long list of instrumentals that I love because a lot of early rock instrumentals (i.e. late 50s-early 60s) sound "samey" to me and while there are examples of jazz (and ...

20-Years-Old Jubileum-Year-Songs:

18. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – The Mercy Seat
36. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – The Mercy Seat

You've got this one listed twice. Do you want to keep it at #18 and bump everything else up?

I changed it to #18 only now.

Thanks!

Chuck Mangione (278) played with Jazz Messengers for a while. Put together 80 min of cool jazzy rock in the 70s that still sounds good which is unusual. Of course he had the jazz police after him. Check out 20th Masters and the Children of Sanchez album / soundtrack.

Ah, shame In the Ghetto just missed out on a top-ten spot.
Funny you should say that. My older friends are really pissed that it finished so high.

Thay should be pissed about 'Rubberneckin' being fourth best Memphis song at no. 94. Or One Night being no. 17. IMHO.

Fred

#24, "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" was a nice surprise on this rather 50's favored list.

They aimed to capture the moment. That's how they invented Rock 'n' Roll. INVENTED rock 'n' roll???????? Rock and roll was around already when Elvis was in junior high and mowing lawns in Memphis. It was even being called rock 'n' roll 3 years before Elvis ever recorded. "The greatest rock 'n' roll...

What years do we do after 1980s?

Fred

After 10 days of absense, it is good to see the list developing, but why is the finale being done this slow all of a sudden? One funny mistake: TheLastEnemy apparently thought that the suggestiveness of the song title Let's Get It On was too safe and changed it in the more direct Let's Get It In. G...

Fred

Biggest omissions so far (IMHO): 1. Frank Zappa (at no. 155) Together with Dylan, Young, Bowie, Lennon and maybe McCartney one of few who could put up a hundred good songs. Some would add Prince. Who reminded of Zappa (+band) at the end.Of course number of songs with melody is not the only criteria....

Interesting challenge !

But when did the 80's start & end

Do the 80's run from january 1st 1980 till december 31st 1989 or from january 1st 1981 till december 31st 1990 ?

Do you mean the 70' could end with ALL of 1980?

It would be cool, for me at least, to have the songs 101-NNN listed as well. I don't believe it's going to spoil anything to come.

Is it easily done? Should I wait until christmas?
