Taking requests for another music list countdown (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

Hey everyone I’m thinking about doing yet another “100 greatest” but I want some feedback first. I could:

1. Not do it at all. It is, I admit, rather self-indulgent: who really cares beside myself how I rank old music?

2. A ranking of my personal favorite songs that were not radio hits and are generally not known very well- talk about self-indulgent!!!

3. Finish the 1970s years. I’ve still got 1974 and 1976.

4. Do a year from the 1980s. I’ve done 1980 and 1983. So that leaves 8 more years.

5. Top 100 songs from any of the following categories: classic rock, 70s hard rock, 70s singer-songwriter, folk and folk rock, etc. These are my favorites.

I will not be doing another album list, too much work. Anyhow let me know what you think! (If nobody or only a few people respond to this, that in itself will send me a message- lol.)

Be as indulgent as you want. That's the nature of the board.

I would encourage you to do it so I can be all grumpy about your selections and taste.

I would vote for a ranking of favorite songs that were not hits so I can do the above with full knowledge that taste is completely objective and you're always wrong when comparing a song to what I say is good.

 

[AAABatteries]

Don’t do it.




Just kidding Tim but wanted to make the joke - I enjoy your countdowns.

 

[AAABatteries]

My vote is finish the 70’s

 

[jwb]

I like your countdowns too. Yea, I say finish the 70's.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Covers? Everybody loves covers!

 

[Scoresman]

I enjoy reading them.

Top 100 songs featuring animals or animal sounds?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

You had me here.

[Anarchy99]

Not that is matters, but I am finally ready to kick off another 1967-1981 albums thread over the weekend.

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

3. Finish the 1970s years. I’ve still got 1974 and 1976.

This makes sense, but I'll enjoy whatever it is. Thanks for doing them.

 

[Atomic Punk]

Finish the 70s. That is totally your wheelhouse.

I know I tune in more when you step out of your comfort zones, so something like that.
Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be

 

[Dennis Castro]

I’d like to see 1984.

Love these.

 

[timschochet]

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like the majority opinion is to finish off the 70s. So that is what I will do. I will go to work on 1974.

I see I'm too late, but this would be my vote, too. Hopefully you'll get to this one another time.

 

[Frostillicus]

Top 100 Limp Bizkit isongs.

Damn. And I had company, too.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like the majority opinion is to finish off the 70s. So that is what I will do. I will go to work on 1974.

That should be an interesting year - a bit before disco and punk really bubbled to the surface.

Ryan Adams -1974

It’s Homer Simpson’s favorite year for music. The pinnacle of BTO and Grand Funk.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Snoopy had you covered upthread.

Takin' care of business . . .

 

[rockaction]

'74 was a confused time for even the proto-ist of proto punks. I'll just say that. It's about a year before CBGBs was an inkling in Tom Verlaine's eye.

 

[Don Quixote]

1974 was also a really good year for music from Brazil, but that’s my weird niche.

I remember Homer one time reminiscing about the rise and fall of Supertramp. Must have been 1979 though or thereabouts.

This has caught up to to the 70s. Now I’m torn, which one should I do next? I’d love to do the favorites but it’s SO self-indulgent….

I think you’ll get more comments/complaints if you stick with your year format. Not sure an obscure song list of your favorites is going to get much traction outside of the deep cut experts.

Yes, indeed, that will finish off the 70s.

Favorite songs seems a bit open-ended without any context, but it's your call. Hard to argue what you haven't included with such a list.

 

[timschochet]

OK I’ve made a final decision. I am going to offer a list of 50 favorite “deep cut” songs, or songs by lesser known artists. 50 is a shorter number and shouldn’t take too long. If it’s too self-indulgent and nobody cares, oh well. LOOK AT ME!!!

I’ll immediately follow that up with the 100 greatest songs of 1974. Then 1976, and on the 80s.

 

[krista4]

I see I'm too late, but this would be my vote, too. Hopefully you'll get to this one another time.

Damn. And I had company, too.

Top 100 Limp Bizkit isongs.

This is put-your-feet-up-on-the-furniture company, but it's still company.

We win!
