You're on safe ground on the first two, I might use up my bullets for the other three though ;) Would much rather have TM7 than Rock the Casbah without a doubt! As for albums, are we to see another purple reign? Yup, songs list implies that. Btw, 1999 started it all for me in 1982... The magic when...

To be honest with you guys this was a mistake... I don’t know how to do these lists nor do I have the time and ambition
Start with five artists in a word document! Bowie is one, Nick Cave a second and Deerhunter a third. You are ON YOUR WAY!

More of an inofficial way… 70's we do first but until new years eve we nominate 20 songs each from the 10's that we dig the most and quickly become first on the web (?) with a twenty hundred and 10's song list. 20, 19, 18 points and so on. And of course we could calculate some cult songs among these...

Fred

I don't know who's decision this is ultimately, but here's how the schedule would lay out if we continued doing this the same way we have since the inception of the yearly decade polls : 2020 - 1970s 2021 - 1960s 2022 - 1900-1959 2023 - 2010s 2024 - 2000s 2025 - 1990s 2026 - 1980s 2027 - 1970s 2028...

Fred

Yeah, maybe we should do 2010s first. Dig up every future classic possible. Then let it rest a few years and then re-do it. The 1970s don't go anywhere. For fun or reflection perhaps, the number of songs from each 70s and 10s year on my ever evolving top thousand list: 1970: 49 songs 1971: 30 1972: ...

Fred

00's or the freakin' 70's. A hard choice. If we do the 00's we get the opportunity to become frontrunners on the web! Also remember that for every good song of the 00's there are 5-10 from the 70's. It will be almost SHOCKING diving right into the year 1970 now in january. Jobim, Rodriguez, Velvets!...

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 ...

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.

Should be real fun to put together an 80 minutes disc with personal favorites from these results! (and links!)
