I actually liked all the songs in Gamma, but here’s what I’ve got:
Short Change Hero

An easy 8 for me.

Ooh wah ah ah ah

Blue Rodeo - Lost Together

StevieFan13

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?

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 ...

Rocky Raccoon wrote:CupOfDreams: If I were to rank every Cure song, it would be bottom 3. A Cure song for people who don't really like the Cure.

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?

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...

7 Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart Looks like this will easily be number one for 1980. I don't like it much myself. The guy can't sing at all IMO. 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, especiall...

Gonna be interesting seeing how rap fares in this poll.

What wouldn’t you like about that song? Seems to be your kind of bag.

Also, 10/10 for me.

StevieFan13

Edited my list one more time. Now I’m done.
(Songs, that is. May expand the albums list)

StevieFan13

Brass in Pocket is from ‘79. Otherwise it’d be my number one in a heartbeat.

StevieFan13

Clearly got some editing to do for my list.

StevieFan13

Ah, ok. Bump everything up and add Scary Monsters to the end.

StevieFan13

Expanded my list a bit.

Five more coming up.

I’ll try a full list soonish. Does The Great Gig in the Sky count? I know Nocturne qualifies based on the rules but I don’t know about the other.

I had already tabulated your list, can you tell me what changed?

Replaced the Willie Nelson duet with Come Rain or Come Shine.

What song from the album is this supposed to be?

Sorry, I meant Black Nails

So, while I have y'all here: are 91X and Q101 lists chosen in the same/a similar way?

Technically, they're British. I was just as surprised as you were!
