Speaking of which...let's do this again sometime soon...
I realize that this is directed to Brad, whose #1 choice is inspired and made me wish I had put it higher on my list. But I'll jump in, since Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is my #1 album of all time and I have been extolling Pavement on these boards for a number of years now.
For me it's the perfectly beautiful tension in their songs. They are messy, with their out of tune guitar solos, and yet they are as melodic just about any other band not named the Beatles. They are slapdash slackers, yet they often will strive for something nearly epic in their compositions (most prominently on Brad's #1, "Filmore Jive") They're jokey, they're smart, they're self-referential, they're brutal toward other musicians, and they're more surreptitiously interested in their place in rock history than a 90's alt-rock band is supposed to be. They write real songs, try to make you forget they are real songs by screaming, singing nonsense lyrics where you're not exactly sure what Malkmus is singing, breaking down in the middle, and then a crazy guitar solo starts out of tune and somehow resolves itself to the rest of the song as it goes along. Yet there always is a clear method to the madness, but they would never completely admit to it.
You mentioned the melodic form as not doing it for you. I'm not sure what anyone can say to convince you on that front. Either you enjoy the melodies or you don't. I was hooked from the first time I heard them: the hoo-hoo-hoo's on "Cut Your Hair." I'm not gonna say that every one of their experimental songs on Wowee Zowee grabs me, but there are very few of their songs throughout their main discography that I don't really enjoy on multiple levels... particularly melodically.
Thanks for your very thoughtful response. Hopefully, it will help me appreciate Pavement quite a bit more.
Henry, just like you I don't enjoy Pavement that much, even if there are some songs I like. But they are from an era (the 90's) and a style (indie rock) I'm not very much interested in. You can't listen to everything.
... and thank you Schwah, for articulating what I could not.
I've struggled with how to answer Henry's question for almost a week and have come up empty. I can certainly understand people not liking Pavement as much as I (and many others) do, and I've found it a struggle to illustrate exactly why they SHOULD like them.
My method of choosing favorite (not "greatest" by any means- I would never make that claim) songs was, I suspect, similar to that of other participants in that the list was shaped largely by strong personal connections with pieces of music that have shaped our lives and/or moved us in some way.
For some, the "Aaaa-aahs" of Lennon following the McCartney bit in "A Day In The Life" are transcendent. Similarly, for me, the defining musical moment begins at about 4:33 on "Fillmore Jive" ("Every night it's straight and narrow...") and lasts through to the end of song, which ends (as does the album- appropriately, somehow) mid-sentence (with a dangling participle, or so I'm told).
This song encompasses everything I love about Pavement, my favorite band, and about rock music in general. What that is precisely, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to put into words (I'm not much of a writer, I'm afraid). I can only rely on what moves me, and the 500 songs on my list have all impacted me in some emotional way.
As an aside, I thank you for taking the time to read through my list. I believe that for many, these lists are a very personal thing, and I've enjoyed learning about others' interests as much as I've enjoyed putting mine together.
Brad, you seem to enjoy 00s Built to Spill more than 90s Built to Spill which seems to me completely strange, I don't see how any of the songs of You In Reverse or Ancient Melodies of the Future can compare to their best songs released between 94 and 99 !
Nassim- I'm absolutely aware i need to go back and listen to those old BTS discs (which I sadly don't own anymore). I listened fleetingly to BTS back in the '90's, but somehow didn't start enjoying them until You In Reverse. You're likely right- my opinion will have changed by the next "top songs" poll... I'll pick up Keep It Like A Secret and Perfect From Now On this month, I promise!
@Brad - you also seem to like the Crooked Rain Crooked Rain songs a lot. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Pavement, a lot more that my hastily-organised list suggests, but I've always found Slanted & Enchanted to be better. There's something about their youthful arrogance which is so raw and appealing.
I wish I put Filmore Jive on my list.
I have listened again to Filmore Jive and I am beginning to appreciate it more. Not sure that it makes my top 500 yet; but perhaps after another 3-4 careful listenings, I'll begin to appreciate it enough to move it on the list.
My list was almost done and then... power failure !
I think all the changes I made this afternoon are lost 
Unless someone knows a way of getting back lost data on Excel.
So I'll probably post a short list (200-250 songs) on thursday.
PS : first song from the 00's is at # 80 and so..
Slanted & Enchanted is actually my favorite Pavement disc. You may have noticed I have 6 songs from S&E on my list, as well as 3 of the 4 songs from Watery Domestic. I totally agree about the youthful arrogance holding a strong appeal. My first exposure to Pavement was on the S&E tour (with Gary Y.). I went to check out the then-heavily-hyped band without ever hearing them, and was blown away.
Henry- Glad you gave it another listen... you may want to check out "Texas Never Whispers" from Watery, Domestic as well (my #40). I'd be interested to know your thoughts on that one.

I voted 2 weeks ago and already have regrets, dammit !
So here is my apologies to 2 songs that I should have included :
Queens of the Stone Age - In The Fade
The Mountain Goats - No Children
Now, that's a list I can sink my teeth in! Spendid picks, Nicolas.
I agree Nicholas provided us with a fantastic list. I wonder if Nicholas and other AMers have an aversion to Eric Clapton. Perhaps I missed something, but a quick find search indicated that no "Clapton" songs were included on the list provided by Nicholas.
As for other entries that are listed on the thread, I found that other than myself, only guitar4799 included a Clapton song, and that was below the 500 threshold (Running On Faith).
I also note that no one other than myself included any Blind Faith songs on their lists.
Granted there were some folks who included Cream (e.g., Sunshine of Your Love at 148 by Stone and 404 by Nick, White Room at 413 by Nick, Crossroads at 181 by guitar4799, Badge at 206 by Schwah) or Derek and Dominoes (Layla is included in at least three lists, but no other D&D songs from others' lists as far as I can tell) - so it isn't as if Clapton has been completely shut out.
OK, it is finally ranked, and I am tired of slowly switching songs rankings. I will never get it right. Some of the stats I mentioned in my earlier post have changed, but meh. I'll do some decade breakdowns of my own songs tomorrow or Saturday.
1. The Decemberists – The Legionnaire’s Lament (2002)

I did not expect to see Alizée in any list (well... maybe in a Moonbeam list that would have surprised me less).
And I'm glad to see someone else voting for Tribute which is much more than a comedy song, it really is a terrific song on its own right !
In fact that might be my favourite list so far, even though we don't have that much songs in common, I feel that we listen music in the same way ! (+ your picture is a bear and that must be the closest thing to a Panda ^^ )
I have now received 31 lists, but I'd like a lot more before the deadline. I think we only have half the participation of the album poll so far...
Four days left to get in your lists!
Almost done, I have 58 more songs to get rid of. They'll be unranked.
Four days left to get in your lists!
Personally, it was alot harder for me to make a list of songs than albums. There are just too many good songs out there. All those songs from the 50s and early 60s are now in play. One-hit wonders come up.

Yeah, I didn't know where to begin ranking 500 songs. I could probably rank 50-100 but I really didn't think there would be a huge difference between 51 and 401 so I decided just to give them all the same point value. But, I prefer doing that than to just rank 100 songs and leave out songs that are equally good.
Since my list contains a fair amount of songs that not everybody is so familiar with I decided to provide a selection of You Tube links where those who are interested in it can listen to/watch clips of some of my favorites. It's not all obscure stuff and unsung heroes I picked though, plenty of well-known names are included as well, just for good measure. It's a bit like tiptoeing through music history.
2000. BONZO DOG BAND-The intro & the outro (Pop/Rock 60s) 1967
....And what better way to start this list than with the Bonzo Dog Band's The Intro & The Outro. Here, the Bonzos are backed by a stellar line-up featuring Adolf Hitler, looking very relaxed on vibes, and the Count Basie Orchestra on triangle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr-jrzmVlIk

1984. FELT-The stagnant pool (New wave) 1984

1981. TEDDY & THE PATCHES-Haight Ashbury (Pop/Rock 60s) 1967

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1NkbJV6X3I
1980. CHARLES CRAWFORD GORST-Laughing love (Popular 10s) 1915

1979. ARTHUR CRUDUP-My baby left me (Blues) 1950
1978. PENETRATION-Don't dictate (Punk) 1977
....It wasn't always fun being in a band back in the Punk days. Gobbing, bottles and other objects flying everywhere. Here Penetration's Pauline Murray is having a tough time with some of her admirers. Nice to see that the beer throwing prick is receiving a good kicking from the rest of the crowd, though.

1977. DARLENE LOVE-A fine fine boy (Teen) 1963
1976. CHARLES MANSON-Home is where you're happy (Singer/songwriter) 1970
....Helter skelter! Recorded in '67/'68 before the Tate Murders, released as a cash-in during the trials that followed. Hard to imagine, but Manson sounds kinda cute on this track. The rest of the Family provide backing on pots and pans. This song was also covered by the Lemonheads.

1965. PEACHES-Hot rod (Dance/Pop 00s) 2000
1964. ROY HARPER-One man rock 'n' roll band (Singer/songwriter) 1971
....Troubadour with famous friends. Harper sang lead on Pink Floyd's Have A Cigar and Led Zeppelin even named a song after him (Hats Off To Roy Harper). Apart from that, he was notorious for his erratic behaviour and acidic lyrics (see I Hate The White Man, Male Chauvinist Pig). But with his extended and expansive compositions he also pushed the envelope in the singer/songwriter genre. The Stormcock album was the highwater mark of his career. Stormcock was also a big influence on current artist Joanna Newsom. So much so, that recently she lured the old grizzler out of retirement to perform with her.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNMB88gxCTE
1947. JONZUN CREW-We are the Jonzun Crew (Electro/Hiphop) 1983
....Electro classic. In the early 80s Electro was very much part of the Hiphop scene (breakdancing, graffitti, etc.), but in retrospect it's more like a precursor to Techno.

1943. LORD KITCHENER-Dr. Kitch (Calypso) 1963
....Lord Kitchener, with some suggestive lyrics about 'needles that are too big to put in the hole', and so on. Oh well, after all these songs were meant for the Trinidad carnival, wasn't it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHPzW60Odh0
1942. MEREDITH MONK-Double fiesta (Avantgarde) 1987
....Avantgarde composer/vocalist from New York.

1939. PRETTY THINGS-Mama, keep your big mouth shut (Pop/Rock 60s) 1965
1938. CYRIL DAVIES-Country Line Special (Roots rock) 1963
....Pioneer of the UK R&B scene. In the late 50s/early 60s Davies and Alexis Korner started organizing blues nights and jam sessions that, among others, spawned the formation of the Rolling stones. Charlie Watts was the regular drummer and Brian Jones and Jagger would often sit in. Davies' own recording output was very slim, just a couple of songs. This harmonica raver from '63 is his best.

1916. JAMES SCOTT-Rag sentimental (Ragtime) 1918
1915. MONTANAS-That's when happiness began (Pop/Rock 60s) 1966

1914. BAREFOOT JERRY-Blood is not the answer (Roots rock) 1970
1913. FRED NEIL-The dolphins (Folk) 1966

Examples: Everybody's Talkin' (Nillson), The Other Side Of Life (Jefferson Airplane), Candy Man (Roy orbison) and this one, The Dolphins, which had a profound impact on a young Tim Buckley.

1895. SLIM & SLAM-Laughin' in rhythm (Jazz) 1938
....Although both virtuosos on their instruments, Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart were considered a comic Jazz duo of sorts. I couldn't find Laughin' In Rhythm, but they can be seen in this fragment from the movie Hellzapoppin' (1941). Slim is the pianist/guitarist, Slam plays the bass. The dance moves are breathtaking.

....More Scotland pride, with the King of Skiffle. Lonnie Donegan was as important to the emerging UK music scene as the American rockers. Although Skiffle was like a speeded up Albion take on US Folk, Lonnie was an homegrown hero and was by far the most exciting thing happening in the UK at the time. Many a future UK superstar started his career in a skiffle band, including The Beatles.

1322. DR. JOHN-I walk on gilded splinters (Pop/Rock 60s) 1968
....Wildly original figure. New Orleans gumbo of Mardi Gras, voodoo, bodypaint and hypnotizing sounds that thrived well in the climate of the late sixties.

1248. GEORGE P. WATSON-Sleep baby, sleep (Popular 1900s) 1901
....An infuential figure for Country music, whose own work didn't sound like Country all. George P. Watson was a vaudeville artist at the turn of the 20th century who made dozens of yodeling records, intended as a parody on Germanic U.S. immigrants (he also sang in a fake German accent). But somehow his infectious yodeling rubbed off on the hillbilly singers. Particularly on Jimmie Rodgers, the first real Country star and who introduced the yodel in Country music. Rogers, in his turn, was a great inspiration for Hank Williams and all the Country yodelers that came after him.

Great list from Mindrocker. I have difficulty understanding why folks enjoy the song Mindrocker rates at 1846. KING CRIMSON-Thela hun ginjeet (Pop/Rock 80s) 1981.
Perhaps my fellow AMers can help me get dialed in on this song.
That's cool
Someone else named Michael who I don't think has ever posted on the forum emailed me the list. I'll add in his last name to avoid confusion.
43 lists received, plus mine!
I don't want to call anyone out individually, but Henrik, is there a reason you didn't make a list? I believe you've participated in every major AMF list since the beginning. If you want to turn in a late list or one similar/identical to your previous list, feel free to do so.
Jackson, the reason I'm not participating is that my time is limited and I just can't make an all-time list without spending hours and hours of listening and comparing songs. Furthermore, I have a good grip on what I like most from every year since the '70s, but not from the '50s and the '60s (I think my opinion on oldies music has changed a bit and I'm discovering new artists all the time). I need to go through these years, month by month in Honorio's decades poll before I can make a list with proper balance between old and new music.
I know this sounds awfully pretentious...
Perhaps my fellow AMers can help me get dialed in on this song.
Thanks Henry, and the others for the props!
Now, concerning King Crimson's Thela Hun Ginjeet, what attracts me to this song is that it's a very complicated composition in a tricky time-signature, but it's performed in a supertight way that generates a lot of energy. In other words, as difficult as this song is, it kicks a lot of ass. You can find Thela Hun Ginjeet on the KC reunion album Discipline ('81). King Crimson may have had a past as progrockers, but here they sound more innovative and advanced than many a trendy new wave/synth band of the period. This second edition of King Crimson is actually the only reunion I know of that really adds something to the legacy of a band, instead of ruining it, which is usually the case when a once great band is giving it another try.
Tim E -- I'm loving some of your idiosyncratic choices -- e.g.
Belly -- Gepetto
Sweet -- Little Willie
Boo Radleys -- Find the Answer Within (from the lost classic Wake Up!!!!)
The Sundays -- I Kicked a Boy.
All great choices!
Every time I look at others' lists, I see songs I wish I had included in mine.
Re House of Love -- Isn't "Destroy the Heart" better than "I Don't Know Why I Love You"?
cheers
I know this sounds awfully pretentious...
Pretentious ? On the contrary, that's very meaningfull
It seems that some of the links I included are not working, maybe I'm overloading my posts too much. So, from now on I'll only post 100 songtitles at a time.

All great choices!
Every time I look at others' lists, I see songs I wish I had included in mine.
Re House of Love -- Isn't "Destroy the Heart" better than "I Don't Know Why I Love You"
Thanks so much Todd. I know I excluded so many great songs I forgot about too especially the House of Love's classics Destroy the Heart, Christine and Shine On
Amen, Mindrocker, I agree 100%. "Discipline" was a great album (that sadly didn't make the cut in our 1980s poll)

Nice list from tsmzth - includes some of my "easy listening" faves like:
Bread's "Guitar Man"
Todd Rundgren's "Can We Still Be Friends"
Moments' "Love on Two-Way Street"
Glenn Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" and
Left Banke's "Walk Away Renee"
I also saw lots of other songs (by acts such as the Dead, the Outlaws, and Blue Oyster Cult) that I thoroughly enjoy but haven't listened to lately; and many songs that are new to me.
Your contribution is very much appreciated.
Fantastic lists everyone and then... wow tsmzth!
It's really great to see so many great lists from newcomers. I hope you will continue posting here.
As said, I'm not participating myself this time, but I will thoroughly enjoy the countdown from the side. This will be the first real visitors' poll!
It's really great to see so many great lists from newcomers. I hope you will continue posting here.
I agree, great list, tsmzth !
I also hope you'll keep on posting, but if I may ask, under a name that is easier to remember !!
Thanks for the positive comments! About a year ago I started compiling a list of my favorite 1000 songs, which unexpectedly ballooned up to over 4000 songs. I'm really enjoying all of the lists that have been posted and am making a lot of interesting discoveries.
Hopefully I'll be able to post in some of the other polls, if I can find the time.

....Another 60s band that released many great singles during their lifespan, but never got around to do an entire album. Remember that the 60s was still an era dominated by 45s, when there were no radio stations yet that would play album tracks instead of hitsingles. So, for many bands making a full length was just not the first concern. John Lennon was reportedly charmed by this band from Glasgow.

However, she soon got fed up with the music-biz and retired, preferring to spend more time on family life. I Know You Love Me Not is a somewhat obscure song which is not available on you tube, so instead I choose a video of Shadows Of You. The guy on the keyboards is Brian Auger, Britain's finest Hammond organist (see also no. 1698). JULIE DRISCOLL-Shadows of you (1968):

Did you get my list Jackson?
Mindrocker, I really dig your list. I see you included some very old songs from the acoustic era (yes, the preacher and the bear is great), if you're intereted I've posted a series about pre-1920 music called "before country" with old recordings that influenced hillbilly and ctry music on my blog, River's invitation

1670 | Blind Faith | Can't Find My Way Home | 1969
Great song - but Winwood wrote it - so I can't quite put this as exception to my "where are the Clapton songs" query.
Yes, I did. Sorry that you were one of the only people I forgot to give a confirmation email to.
Nice to see another Clapton related song on someone's list
185 Derek and The Dominos Thorn Tree in the Garden
"Thorn Tree in the Garden" is a good choice in my view, is a bit mellow compared with other tracks from the Layla album, and includes strikingly heartfelt vocals.
As indicated by my list, I prefer other songs from the Layla album, such as "Bell Bottom Blues," "Why Does Love Have to be so Sad," "Key to the Highway," "Little Wing," and "I Looked Away" - probably because I prefer Clapton's vocals and the guitar work on those songs compared to "Thorn Tree in the Garden."
"Thorn tree" is great. my second favorite of "Layla" after the title track.

When the singer received his draftpapers and had to return to the States, the Misunderstood's original line-up soon fell apart.

Damn- there's one I definitely missed... what a great song! Similarly, The Original Sins - Not Gonna Be Alright. I'll be keeping track for our next go 'round in a few years....
185 Derek and The Dominos Thorn Tree in the Garden
"Thorn Tree in the Garden" is a good choice in my view, is a bit mellow compared with other tracks from the Layla album, and includes strikingly heartfelt vocals.
As indicated by my list, I prefer other songs from the Layla album, such as "Bell Bottom Blues," "Why Does Love Have to be so Sad," "Key to the Highway," "Little Wing," and "I Looked Away" - probably because I prefer Clapton's vocals and the guitar work on those songs compared to "Thorn Tree in the Garden."
I agree, Henry, particularly about 'Bell Bottom Blues' (as my list shows it's my favourite track off the album). But maybe Clapton's more impressive contributions to the songs you mentioned as your favourites were because 'Thorn Tree' was Bobby Whitlock's. I still think it's a beautiful song, and I'm with you nicolas: I think it's just behind Layla in terms of the strongest songs on the album.
Spot On!!! I am not as familiar with Whitlock and I find his vocals striking but a bit rough. My guess is that other folks are more familiar with Whitlock's work than I am and are able to better appreciate the expressiveness Whitlock delivers (which is clearly very impressive), while sometimes I can be distracted by pitch issues and other nit-picky aspects of a vocal performance.
Don't worry, Henry, you probably know far more about Whitlock than I do. I hadn't even heard 'Layla' until late last year! I just put 'Bell Bottom Blues' onto my computer from a knock-off Clapton compilation, fell in love with it and so from there bought the album, which previously I only vaguely knew about.
I suppose I like 'Thorn Tree' because I'm a bit soft and it is a cute contrast to the previous 70 minutes of raging blues from Clapton (not that I don't find that equally enjoyable).

495. SNOOP DOGG-Gin and juice (Hiphop) 1993
494. TODD RUNDGREN-International feel (Pop/Rock 70s) 1973
....IMO one of the most interesting and adventurous 70s artists before Punk happened. From lush balladeering to ambitious Prog to blaring hardrock, sidelong experimental skronks and sci-fi pop like International Feel. A wizard & a true star, indeed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrdkd9Ktfl0
....As an extra, Open My Eyes, by Todd's first band The Nazz. A fine song that nearly made this list on his own.

482. PATTI SMITH-Free money (Punk/Wave) 1975
481. SNAKEMAN SHOW-Japanese title (1A) (Spoken word) 1981
....The Snakeman Show was the Japanese equivalent of Monty Python. If I remember well, some Yellow Magic Orchestra members were involved in it. It's all in Japanese, a language which I don't speak, but that doesn't matter at all. On the contrary, it inspires you to use your imagination. On the following track, for example, I can see some cosmonauts floating around in their space shuttle. The oxygen is slowly running out and they start hallucinating. Or something like that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsRwZ_EiGpo&feature=related

459.KLAXONS-Atlantis to interzone (Pop/Rock 00s) 2006
....UK Nu-Rave.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX3w_PlGReU
....For me Nu-Rave is one of the more fun music styles that emerged in the last decade. Usually very young bands who are equally attracted to rock, dance and energy, while a certain element of hooliganism cannot be denied. These are two Nu-Rave examples that didn't make the cut.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM5gLyKBGSU
452. ALBERT DESALVO & THE BUGS-Strangler in the night (Pop/Rock 60s) 1964
....This singer is not the real Albert Desalvo (who was a mass murderer and at that moment probably in jail), but it's certainly inspired by him. The footage of the skating kids doesn't make much sense in combination with the music, but it's the only clip I could find of this song.

....Deep Purple and Billy Joe Royal both had chart success with Hush, but this is the version by the man who wrote it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPKxVUA0JR0
....Joe South was the composer of several hits by others (Hush, Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson, Down In The Boondocks by Billy Joe Royal), but the records under his own name had limited success. It's not so difficult to see why, if you listen closely. His music is accessible, but there's always a certain twist in it that would prevent it from mainstream appeal. A good example is Mirror Of Your Mind. A track that on firsthand sounds like a regular middle of the road popsong, but halfway it takes a left turn and we suddenly descent deep into Joe's psyche.

I'm terribly sorry about the delay, Jackson. But I would be very grateful if you give me one more day to finsh this :)
Hi, Michael.
I don't think one should search too much for my motives. It's just that I grew a bit tired of posting in yet another poll a laundry list of names and titles and just leave it like that. That's all. Sometimes it's good to do something in a different or unexpected way. And concerning the time and the effort, well, I had a lot of fun compiling this list, so then for me it's never a waste of time :)
Looking forward to the top picks, Mindrocker!
Gargantuan task!
Results won't start until tomorrow, but as a consolation prize, here's my list! It's only a top 400 because I wanted to narrow it down to the tracks I really liked. Hope you guys enjoy:

Nice, Jackson- I see we have very similar tastes... more great Sabbath selections, like "Lord of This World"- that tune pretty much puts the "heavy" in heavy metal.

145. SIMPLE MINDS-New gold dream (New wave) 1982
144. ORIGINAL DIXIELAND JAZZ BAND-Soudan (Jazz) 1920
....Jazz historians are still pissed off about it, but the very first Jazz recordings were not by black artists like Jelly Roll Morton or Buddy Bolden, the ones who virtually invented the style, but by a lillywhite orchestra called the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. They made their first recordings in 1917. In that era Afro-Americans belonged in general to the lower classes and were simply not considered an interesting market to exploit by record companies (if you had told somebody at that time that one day the US will have a black president you probably have ended up in jail). But that doesn't mean that the Original Dixieland Jazz Band was no good. They may have been a watered down version of the real (black) thing, but its members were all ace musicians and they certainly opened a lot of doors for Jazz in terms of mainstream acceptance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYj-FMdrzo0
143. JACKIE & THE STARLITES-Valerie (Doo wop) 1960
....After all the laughing songs at last a sobbing record. According to the Starlites' label boss and manager Bobby Robinson, who I once interviewed, if Jackie & The Starlites performed in venues like the Apollo it was a happening. When singing Valerie, Jackie would fall on his knees and start crying, and the place would explode. Screaming, packets of tissues were thrown at him, girls rushing to the stage to comfort and cradle him, a pandemonium.

29. TOMORROW-Revolution (Pop/Rock 60s) 1967
....Legendary band that was very much part of the UK psych scene. They functioned more or less as the house band for the UFO, the hippest club in Swinging London. Most famous member was singer Keith West, who scored a few solo hits, but Tomorrow also featured drummer Twink (later in the Pretty things and Pink fairies) and future Yes guitarist Steve Howe. Revolution is a typical product of the year 1967, with an 'everything is possible' attitude. It sounds as three different songs rolled into one big one, like a mini-opera.

Happy to see this one (and Setting Sun) in somebody's else top 100. Kanye + 3/4 time signature = 2 very good reasons for me to love that song
I'm always looking for 3/4 time songs, and it is still the only one I know in hip-hop (I think...)
Awe-inspiring, Mindrocker! Thank you so much for sharing your list in such vivid detail!
