Moreover (influenced by Miguel) I’ve added the wonderful “Canción del fuego fatuo” from Spanish composer Manuel de Falla and also (after displacing “Speak Low” to Group D) a Neapolitan song, underepresented in our list, “Torna a Surriento”.

Now the partial Spotify lists for the Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D

The lists here are all so great, Fred, Henrik, Honorio, nice recent additions.

Also, to be official, please note that my #2 should be this specific Rite of Spring section:

Le sacre du printemps: Danse Sacrale (L'Élue) (alt. Seconde Partie: Le Sacrifice)

I have almost no expertise in pre-rock music whatsoever, but I'll take a stab at a list.

1. Thelonious Monk - Round Midnight
2. Benny Goodman - Sing, Sing, Sing
3. Leadbelly - Whoa Back Buck
4. Leadbelly - Where Did You Sleep Las Night?
5. Robert Johnson - Sweet Home Chicago
6. Uncle Dave Macon - Way Down the Old Plank Road
7. Glenn Miler - In the Mood
8. Woody Guthrie - This Land is Your Land
9. Scott Joplin - Maple Leaf Rag
10. Cab Calloway - Minnie the Moocher
11. Robert Johnson - Cross Road Blues
12. Hot Lips Page - I Won't Be Here Long
13. George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue
14. Robert Johnson - Hellhound on My Trail
15. Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 8 (does this count?)
16. Claude Debussy - Clair de Lune

I really need to get into more jazz. Davis and Coltrane are the only jazz musicians I've really explored and the only other one besides those two I know fairly well is Charles Mingus. I really should get into Bird, Duke, Monk, etc.

Ready for the flood ?

Thanks!

Great list, Brad !

Many thanks everyone for your lists. Not many lists but the lists that came were absolutely spectacular. Now please be patient for the unveiling of the results, the compiling of the votes of the 50s poll (with the Excel spreadsheet) are easy to do. But it’s not the case with the 1900-1949 poll, a lot of songs to check and count. Moreover I’m currently extremely busy with my daily work, so you can expect first results this weekend (maybe). I’ll open a new thread with the results.
Many thanks again, boys, you’re wonderful.
