Breakfast in America – Supertramp
My Little Town – Simon and Garfunkel
Ripples – Genesis

Who Loves You – The Four Seasons
I am I Said - Neil Diamond
Blues Run the Game – Jackson C Frank
Pull Together – Shack
Summertime Sadness – Lana del Rey
Hometown Glory - Adele

The Gorillaz 'On Melancholy Hill' is a song that sorta passed me by when it was first out. I used to hear a bunch of Gorillaz stuff when they were in the charts (is that still a thing, kids?), but not so much that one.  Then last year I heard it randomly on the radio and thought 'Oh yeah, that's a classic' and started playing it a lot.

Anyway, some good choices Nobby, but none of them are Billy Ocean's When The Going Gets Tough (The Tough Get Going), so you're wrong.

Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Arcade Fire are great but I really don't get Wake Up, it's easily the one I skip whenever I'm listening to them. Rebellion on the hand, wow, amazing song!

I know how much importance you place on it :P Sorry didn't mean to come across like that, I like discussing things like this, mainly because in real life, no one likes the music I do.

Haha, it’s perfectly fine, wasn’t offended!

Same. My wife has awful taste in music but she says the same about me. Sadly she’s turned the weans against us so I never get to listen to my music unless I’m out running so I’ve started going out for longer ones. :D

Like everyone else this would change every time you asked but some thoughts. Bit of a weird mix.

Primal Scream - Movin' On Up (this could have been any one of several songs off Screamadelica but had to pick one)
Pachanga Boys - Time
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way (I can already hear the Peter Green fans howling in outrage but this just makes me like it even more)
Massive Attack - Paradise Circus
Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home
Underworld - 8 Ball
Rolling Stones - Under My Thumb
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Pulp - Feeling Called Love
Metro Area - Caught Up
Future Sound of London - Pulse State
Bob Dylan  - As I Went Out One Morning
Aphex twin - Ageispolis
Buckingham Nicks - Frozen Love
Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues
Curtis Mayfield - Little Child Runnin Wild
Deltron 3030  - 3030
Blondie - Atomic
Robert Plant & ALison Krauss - Nothin'
Joy Division - Transmission

Some of these I don't listen totthat much any more but you come across them in Itunes or whatever occasionally and instantly just want to give it another listen.

Good way of wasting a whole day's work.

So basically, I made a list of every song I've obscenely overplayed on Itunes, and ended up with a list of 400+ songs. Then I picked one song per artist and picked the ones that to this day I haven't managed to completely ruin for myself to make a final list of 80 songs. The top 20 could change any day, but I'm pretty happy with the final list... for now.

Just Like Heaven - The Cure
Silver Soul - Beach House
The Shrine / An Argument - Fleet Foxes
Two-Headed Boy Part 2 - Neutral Milk Hotel
Blue Crystal Fire - Robbie Basho
The State I Am In - Belle and Sebastian
Karma Police - Radiohead
Can't Hardly Wait - The Replacements
Rocks Off - The Rolling Stones
Lola - The Kinks
3rd Planet - Modest Mouse
When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin
When You Sleep - My Bloody Valentine
Farewell Transmission - Songs: Ohia
Karmacoma - Massive Attack
(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding
First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes
The Golden Age - Beck

I know how much importance you place on it :P Sorry didn't mean to come across like that, I like discussing things like this, mainly because in real life, no one likes the music I do.

I'm wondering how many fingers some people on here have.

Top 20 songs?

A Tory, a worker and an immigrant are sat round a table. There's a plate of 10 biscuits in the middle. The Tory takes 9 then turns to the worker and says "that immigrant is trying to steal your biscuit"

OH...MY..GOD

 ;D

This is actually turning out far far better than I'd thought. You fuckers are nowhere near as disciplined as all the arl farts I asked to do a similar thing yonks ago on the sadly now defunct Guestbook for THE BAND but boy is there more eclecticism [werd?] in one of your little fingers than in all their collective fingers and toes. I doubt if there was scarcely a solitary song I was unaware of when they all did it - presumably mainly all being Band and Dylan accolytes or similar. But these lists? Fuck me. An entirely different scenerio and Sam hasn't even posted his pantheon yet!!  The range so far is stunning. ;D

Anyroad, some absolutely stellar picks plus a multitude I've never heard of. You tube is going to have to get its arse in gear over the coming weeks for me to educate myself.

As for scoring to arrive at a top 100 faves??? I'm afraid you're all just going to wait till a year next Christmas by the looks of it. In the meantime one thing I do seem to have got right despite the charges of ridiculousness is that it is a great bit of fun for music lovers to rack the dark impenetrable regions of their trainspotting brains to unearth some of their longtime faves.

it was moderately hard to whittle it down to just 20, but essentially these are the certain songs that are scratched into my soul, as the Hold Steady put it. Putting the 20 in order from 1 to 20 however is the type of thing that will keep me up late into the night and there is a football match to watch later, so for now here they are in random order.

White man in Hammersmith Palais - the Clash
Thick as thieves - the Jam
Rain - the Beatles
Eight miles high - the Byrds
Tin Soldier - Small Faces
Tracks of my tears - Smokey Robinson
I say a little prayer - Aretha Franklin
Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack
$1000 wedding - Gram Parsons
Pleasant Valley Sunday - the Monkees
Who knows where the time goes - Fairport Convention
I don't want to hear it anymore - Dusty Springfield
Birds - Neil Young
Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen
Morning Morgantown - Joni Mitchell
Wild is the wind - David Bowie
Duchess - Scott Walker
Ruby's arms - Tom Waits
So Central rain - REM
Dive for your memory - the Go-Betweens

Anyway, some good choices Nobby, but none of them are Billy Ocean's When The Going Gets Tough (The Tough Get Going), so you're wrong.
I respect this and agree with it whole heartedly. He absolutely did have something to tell us.

This thread has reaffirmed to me just how good Sorrow by Bowie is. It's actually a cover of The 1969 McCoys' track, but Bowie did it better. The 12 string, the cello, the fucking two-tone wood sounder, genius arrangement.

Also I forgot to include Atomic by Blondie on my list, poor omission on my behalf.

I have a massive soft spot for REM's Man on the Moon.

In no particular order...would change it tomorrow...in an hour's time...next year...2000 light years ago...on a different cycle of the moon...but I'm here now, waiting for the match.

Don't Worry (If There's Hell Below, We're all Going to Go) - Curtis Mayfield
What a way to announce your first solo record. After leaving The Impressions, a sweet sounding soul/gospel/doo-wop band, this brings the funk without a doubt. Still underrated IMO.

Water No Get Enemy - Fela Kuti
For me, the greatest Side B to any LP ever. So much groove. So much horn.

Until Then I'll Suffer - Barbara Lynn
Have never failed to turn it up when this comes on. Powerful soul ballad that hits me every time.

No No No - Dawn Penn
My favourite reggae tune, bit cheesy maybe but fuck. What a tune. will never tire of it.

Comedy - Shack
If anybody ever asks me when I was happiest in my life, I never fail to think of Mick Head performing this in Sefton Park, me watching with my young son on my shoulders, taking in what for me might be the finest tune by any Scouse songwriter anywhere.

Up On The Roof - Carole King & Rudy Lewis (demo version)
Another heart melter. Brill Building pop songwriting at its absolute peak.

Sports Man - Haruomi Hosono
A gateway drug into the world of Hosono. Weird wonky Japanese pop perfection.

Cathy's Clown - the Everly Brothers
Talking of pop perfection...no Everlys, no Beatles...ye gods the harmonies on this...is there really only two of them?

Family Affair - Sly & The Family Stone
I was having a hard time picking a Sly track...could have gone 'Higher' or several others to be honest.

Dolphins - Fred Neil
the finest of the New York folk scene...proved by the fact he fucked off and stopped releasing albums soon after...see also 'Something On Your Mind' by Karen Dalton

Bruder des Schattens - Sohne des Lichts - Popul Vuh
From the Nosferatu soundtrack? Meditative brilliance with eerie undertones. Fond memories of creating my best artwork to this track.

In My Room - The Beach Boys
Again a hard time choosing. One for all the agoraphobics out there. Brian at his best.

Drown In My Own Tears - Ray Charles
What a command of dynamics. Neil Young's producer David Briggs said early in his career, he once walked into a Ray Charles session to see Ray reading a braille score with his right hand, playing piano with his left and singing live to a full orchestra...and that's when he knew music was the life for him.

Wichita Lineman - The Dick Slessig Combo
A 40 minute exploration of one of the greatest country melodies of all time. Another meditative masterpiece.

You Don't Pull No Punches (But You Don't Push The River) - Van Morrison
Well I couldn't do a list for Timbo without George Ivan Morrison in there. Was very hard to pick.

Europe Endless - Kraftwerk
Another mindblower. Opened a new world for me hearing this.

Bonnie & Clyde - Serge Gainsbourg/Brigitte Bardot
Absurd, sexy, and those backing vocals...wow.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
For me the greatest vocal performance of all time. And the drums...awesome. Could also have chosen 'Stubborn Kind of Fellow' or 'What's Going On'.

Shame Shame Shame - Smiley Lewis
Those who've seen Treme know. My wife bought me an LP with this on, and it was the best birthday present ever. She gets it. Barrelling New Orleans RnB.

Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones
You all knew I wasn't letting this go without the Stones in there. A truly disgusting, dirty, filthy song, with Merry Clayton miscarrying after laying down her all-timer backing vocal. Horrible. Can diss the Stones all that you want but this is some kind of voodoo. But I could have chosen dozens of others. 'I Just Want To See His Face'.

I Am Born To Preach The Gospel - Washington Phillips
To listen is to take a corridor to a different world. I could almost believe in Jesus.


Did I do 20 yet? There's hundreds more. My hand hurts. That'll do, pig, that'll do. Apologies to all those wonderful artists who have brought me so much joy that I've still somehow left out here. Aretha, Nina, Neil, Bob, Stevie, Miriam, The Meters, Can, Funkadelic, Bill, Bobby, Levon, Al, Barney, Gil et al, I'm truly sorry.
