As I mentioned before, the snubs here are bizarre. One Lorde, no Crowded House.

StevieFan13

Yo, and that one isn’t there either! I don’t see any Crowded House actually. Probably a lot of awesome deep cuts there, but those are two very surprising snubs.

StevieFan13

One Lorde song? And it’s near the bottom? Even if they were ignoring Pure Heroine, it feels weird to leave off anything from Melodrama (Green Light is like a top 5 New Zealand song, id only put it behind Don’t Dream It’s Over).

StevieFan13

This one’s a 9. My parents used to sing it around me all the time and when they overhauled my Shuffle so I could work out to actual music with a beat (as opposed to, say, Tom Lehrer), this one made me happy every time it came on. It’s bouncy, has some great jangle guitar, fun and straightforward lyr...

I haven’t had a chance to edit mine. Could whoever is tabulating this add R.E.M. as my number five and bump everyone else down a spot?

So sad I missed this poll entirely! I would've voted in a heartbeat.

StevieFan13

Huh! You think you know a guy.

StevieFan13

I always loved his energy on their songs. Firestarter isn’t the kind of song I typically get into but his craziness drew me in right from the start. What a shame.

Slightly edgy opinion: MBV is like a cheap copy of Loveless. More edgy opinion: MBV is better than Loveless. :) Right now I've got m b v as my #64 of all time and Loveless as only #370. Is that more or less heretical than placing Third (#193) higher than Dummy (#304)? I just don’t even like My Bloo...

Ooh, I might! Will check it out.

Blue Rodeo - Lost Together

Amazing work, Rob!

StevieFan13

Another one I’m very surprised wasn’t on my list. Yyz is an 8.

StevieFan13

Man, how’d that one miss my list? One of my favorite songs from when I was a kid. Suddenly I See is an 8.

StevieFan13

Ranking coming soon, but I definitely respect whoever put Running in the '90s on their list. Supposing we'll see Sandstorm or Dragostea Din Tei in another batch?

StevieFan13

Nirvana and Radiohead have 25% of the top 50 this leaves a tedious list. Yes, I was just thinking how striking it is that all of their songs made the top 50. It is a bit much, although I ranked the Radiohead's rather favorably myself, so I'm part of the problem. With Nirvana, not so much, they are ...

This quote accurately describes me.

I mean, uh...I’d consider myself a Cure fan and it’s at least top 5 for me. And this is even taking into account all their other stuff.

StevieFan13

Yeah, I think Hymie and I were just having a little debate. No malice from either of us.

Wow! This came out of left-field! Strong second! It'll be interesting to see if it makes through the first round.

Hey, stranger things have happened. My friends in an a cappella group sing this all the time so I've grown quite fond of it.

StevieFan13

I very deliberately tried to find more retro-sounding songs. I could’ve sworn you’d go for some of them. I even included Alabama Shakes, and you mentioned liking one of their songs.

King Harvest - Dancing in the Moonlight

StevieFan13

Nirvana never did blackface. That’s a plus.

StevieFan13

I’ve never been a huge Joy Division fan myself but I do see why this song has endured. It’s one of the creepiest things I’ve ever heard, especially knowing what happened to Ian Curtis in the end. It sticks with you. So, for you guys creepy is good? I don't know about Steviefan but i definitely like...

StevieFan13

Anyone know how to fix that link?

StevieFan13

At some point I’m going to try and make a “non-covers from the last thirty years that Hymie would like” playlist. Have at it! Here you go. Happy to dig for more if these don’t tickle your fancy.

Just none from the last 40 years, which is too bad. Why do you say that? How many of your top 1,000 songs are from before 1960? You have three songs in your top 1,000 from the last 40 years, and two of the three were originally recorded over 40 years ago. 19 of my top 1,000 are from before 1960. Th...
