  • Yay. Another T Rex pick!

    My favorite Journey song picked.
    "I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

      Yep, big fan also. Have you seen the story of Bolan's son's education being fully paid by David Bowie? And at the time I read the article they'd never even met! Hopefully they got the chance to meet before he died.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        Never heard that story. Interesting though

          Worth a read.

          Rolan Bolan faced poverty when his superstar father died in a car crash. But then, he reveals in this touching interview, he found an unlikely saviour...

          • I let Mrs. Gregg in on our little game last night. We ended up laying in bed and listening to music for 3.5 hours. Her on her phone and me on my computer. Dueling music videos! Had a blast.

            She leans a little 80's hair bands but gave me a great one that I forgot about. I am guessing i will post it in a couple of days.

                I would have picked it before long it it had've kept being passed over ... then again ... I have a long list of those songs.

                One thing's for sure ... this list is gonna be all over the f*%&£& place

                • Im not sure if I'm eclectic or what but not too many real snipes from me yet other than Master of Puppets. Nice to see the variety, even if one is an 18-minute Yes song

                  I got (I believe) the first no-vocals song on deck....

                  • Observation: I am enjoying this very much and see that it is becoming more of a "favorites" list than a true top songs list. Which is not a problem with me, in fact its more fun. So....

                    Close to the Edge is recognized as pretty much the greatest prog rock song ever. So even if you hate prog rock, it is a deserving addition to this list.

                    Yet songs like the Pixies pick, Country Feedback, and Common People are accepted without comment. I find that amusing.

                    • "Where Is My Mind?" is universally recognized as an absolute classic, which is the reason no one comments. It's appeared in multiple films/TV shows. Ending scene in Fight Club for example. An instrumental version appeared throughout The Leftovers.

                      • About time The Boss makes an appearance. Another deep catalogue.

                          I was just poking at ya...that Common People song is not for me if it makes you feel any better

                            Maybe one day you'll realize that the tiny bubble of your experience can't be projected onto everything ... maybe ...

                            I love how you simultaneously appeal to the credibility-recognition-police to defend your own decisions, yet remain completely oblivious to your own ignorance when it comes to stuff that doesn't suit your very narrow taste.

                            The most famous and iconic song by one of the most influential bands of all-time (Pixies) isn't a valid pick ... uhhh OK ... and since you appear to value "recognition", Pitchfork have Common People at #2 on list of best songs of the 1990's, NME #1 ... even Rolling Stone magazine had it at #8, which is saying something considering Pulp didn't make a dent on the US market.

                                Does anyone in this draft besides maybe Johnny know it? Just curious. Not a shot at it.
