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....

WOW! What Five-star stars, last 5! PS. Polyphonic Spree had a good version (and an even better video) of Litium.

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?

Caroline No (Pet Sounds, 1966) 3. This Whole World (Sunflower, 1970)...

Fred

1999 is in the same league as 1981, 2007 and 1962. Years in which christmas dinner were the high point and oudoor actities might have involved painting of the fence posts. Somewhat at peace with the fact that so many discovered "I See A Darkness" and having it at no. 1.

Had nothing to do today so I got this idea to collect the top songs (all 20 of them) from every user and this is what I came up with after I deducted (minused) every top 500 single (AM) and every song from a top 100 album (AM of course): 2Pac – Dear Mama A Tribe Called Quest – Can I Kick It? ABBA – ...

Suggestion to make it easier to discover "new" songs:

List (lowest mean position first) every song on a top 100 list with 1-3 votes. Then we start Spotify these songs...

I feel like people didn't like my list for some reason. Possibly cuz I keep changing songs (French Disko and Here's Where the Story Ends are in, BTW).
