SF421,

remember, this is subjective. your top whatever is exclusively yours....it's clear to me that you have little, or no music boundaries from your entries over the past few months. so enjoy your music, do a dube, and fuck them ! ;)

If we subscribed to all these various lists, we'd be that much more ignorant to the "universal database of music"

I will say that I agree with "Dock of the Bay" being on that list. That is one of the greatest songs ever IMHO. As for the rest of the list, I'll agree with Rommel that it's a subjective thing! ;)

I gotta say alot of them dont make a whole lotta sense to me, but like you all said, its a subjective thing. Even still, I gotta wonder about a few of the choices.

Gimme a fuckin break

I agree with say rock aroundthe clock cause of its historical standing as the first rock n roll song and dock of the bay and the stones satisfaction.

But if you're gonna have beack boys good vibrations. What about the beatles yesterday? zepplins stairway to heaven. come on and if i see american pie on one more list i'm gonna puke. What about billie holidays all of me?


Do you know how pale & wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour unannounced,
unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly
guest you've brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
& gives us wings where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's claws
--Jim Morrison (An American Prayer)
