Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

sonofsamiam

As usual, of course, I went over the top. My list is 750 songs, but they're all essential to me. This has been a work in progress for a long time, actually ... I've trawled through thousands of CDs, LPs, tapes, MP3s, etc. to make sure nothing was forgotten. And it was terribly painful to snip some songs off that aren't listed here.

The one thing I couldn't in good conscience was include classical, aside from some more recent minimalist compositions, which are close enough (and contemporary enought) to artists like Brian Eno and Glenn Branca that I feel their inclusion makes sense. It's still too much apples and oranges for me to compare, and I also don't feel my classical education is strong enough to make truly informed rankings.

In any case, I stand by all of these sweet babies.

001. Billie Holiday / “Strange Fruit”
(Also see Nina Simone's equally stunning, rather terrifying version)
002. Glen Campbell / “Wichita Lineman”
003. Curtis Mayfield / “Right on for the Darkness”
004. John Coltrane / “Psalm”
005. Stevie Wonder / “Living for the City”
006. The Beach Boys / “God Only Knows”
007. Charles Mingus / “The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife are Some Jiveass Slippers”
008. Joni Mitchell / “River”
009. Talk Talk / “The Rainbow”
010. Fela Kuti / “Zombie”
011. Can / “Oh Yeah”
012. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds / “The Mercy Seat”
(Also see Johnny Cash's incredibly moving cover)
013. Bob Dylan / “Tangled Up in Blue”
014. Charles Mingus / “Mode D, E, F: Trio and Group Dancers”

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Not many comments on all this new info, huh?

Yes, it's an overwhelming number of lists, but this is the place for those, no?

My only comment is that all of these lists are fascinating, and have armed me with more songs that I plan on seeking out. There's definitely quite a diverse range of music covered (though I'm still a little saddened that jazz didn't make more of a showing, though I suppose that's understandable).

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Fantastic job! It's great to see the breakdown by decade, year and artist!

I'm still wading through all of the individual lists. It's fascinating to see some of the songs I revere so much place on others' lists as well.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

What's the lone song from 1880's sonofsamiam?

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

What's the lone song from 1880's sonofsamiam?

Erik Satie's "Gymnopedie No. 1", my number 1! This melancholy classical piece for piano is the most beautiful thing ever written.

Please do me a favor and listen to these samples. Gnossenie No. 1 was also on my list and the other Gymnopedies and Gnossenies are really just as good. Music beyond critisism.

Once again, a BIG THANK YOU sonofsamiam! You have made this one of the greatest weeks in the Acclaimed Music history. (And next week will not be so bad either...)

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Fantastic work! It comes as no surprise (regardless of ones individual preferences) that the list is top-heavy with the years around 1967. But I sure wouldn't have guessed in advance that the most represented post-1970'es year is 1994. Now where did I put my Jeff Buckley and Pavement disks?

Also fun to see an old guilty pleasure of mine, Creedence C.R., do as well (at least in terms of number of entries) as more obvious favourites like Massive attack, Television and Hendrix.

Plenty to chew on here. Hope S.o.S. is enjoying his well-deserved weekend away from the PC.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Interesting that The Band's "Whispering Pines" was its only song to make the Top 200, over what I would consider better known and better quality songs such as The Weight and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Interesting that The Band's "Whispering Pines" was its only song to make the Top 200, over what I would consider better known and better quality songs such as The Weight and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

Certainly "The Weight" and "The Night..." are better known, but IMO opinion "Whispering Pines" is the most beautifully wrought thing The Band ever did.

Plus, I think it's sorta cool when lesser-known songs make high appearances. For example, "Moonage Daydream" and "Five Years" making short work of "Starman", "Suffragette City" and "Ziggy Stardust".

The Acclaimed Music Forum Top Songs By Year

All right, here's my last big post on this. I broke out Top 5s by year, with 2 caveats:

1. For each Top 5, only 1 song per artist (for variety's sake).

2. If a song didn't get 200 points but appeared on more than 1 list, I included it if there were not yet 5 songs for the year in question.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

I managed to find an older list from sonofsamiam on my hard drive. This list is now also available here.

Here are some examples of how sonofsamiam's opinion has changed over time (1,5 years between the lists).

(Sonofsamiam, I do hope that you have nothing against this comparison. I really enjoyed doing this.)

New position given first, old position within brackets.
1 (2) Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit
2 (4) Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman
3 ( Curtis Mayfield - Right on for the Darkness
4 (66) John Coltrane - Psalm
5 (6) Stevie Wonder - Living for the City
6 (3) The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
7 (13) Charles Mingus - The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife are Some Jiveass Slippers
8 (11) Joni Mitchell - River
9 (not in the top 1400!) Talk Talk - The Rainbow
10 (1 Fela Kuti - Zombie
...
15 (5) John Coltrane - Acknowledgement
...
17 (10) David Bowie - "Heroes"
18 (1) The Beatles - A Day in the Life
...
51 (9) Freda Payne - Band of Gold
...
254 (7) Nick Drake - Northern Sky (oh no!)


Sonofsamiam, has Jacek had any impact on you regarding the Talk Talk song? (Hint: say yes, this will make him happy!)

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

I don't think I had any impact on sonofsamiam regarding "Rainbow". "Spirit of Eden" was very high on the list he sent me for the albums poll and that was before he knew I was a Talk Talk fan.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Ah, you found my old list! I haven't gone back and looked at that, but I suspect much has changed.

I've REALLY gotten into Talk Talk in the last couple years, and "The Rainbow"'s high inclusion reflects that.

I'm sort of sad that "Northern Sky" took a plunge, but I just got a little sick of it. In a few years, it may well climb back up.

Re: Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Just wondering if anyone can remember some list that came from songwriters that listed In My Life as the top song of all time. (It would also be high on my list).

And I think there was something about Yesterday being the most covered song of all time as well, if that is a list.

Zlatan - Question???

Please contact me if you are still there!

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Robb W.A de Bretan is the best guitar player I have ever seen. Picture Eminem's cartooniness, Steve Vai's skill, Matiias Eklundh's creativity, and Chris Angel's
showmanship and you got Robb W.A de Bretan. I wish someone would hook this guy up with funds because it would be the best thing ever, but I'm sure someone will sooner or later. because they would have to be stupid not to.

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Does anyone know where I can get Robb W.A de Bretan's music?.
Has anyone seen or heard Robb W.A de Bretan. He is the coolest guitar player ever. There is no instrumental guitar player that has music that I could really listen to and feel. This guy does it like anime music, deceivingly simple. I would really like to find or know more about him,
I found his albums only on justmusicstore.com
But tell me more sites

recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Acclaimed Music Forum Top 100(+) Songs

Time for another run with multi songs lists?

I plan a top 1000 in a few weeks! I double my earlier list from a few years ago...that is before this thread was started so it doesn't exist, I believe...I hope... :)

Anyone as crazy as me? 100-1000 songs etc? I can take on the burden of compiling the top 100 songs etc from every list...to one great big MOTHER list...then we release it so it doesn't infer with the 90s list...
