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.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.

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.Comment

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....Comment

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."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."Comment

"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.

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.Comment

In the words of Grandmaster Flash, "Don't push me, 'cause I'm Close to the Edge!"If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl PopperComment
