I listened to as many of the songs I was unfamiliar with that forumers mentioned on their lists as I could. There are a couple that I ran into on my own and a handful of these are tunes I already liked ("Let Your Hair Down" for example) that didn't quite make my list submission. I also heard some in...

The problem with making a list for this label is the embarrassment of riches : far too many great singles and it compounds once you add album tracks to that. I was already well past the 50 mark just compiling a possibilities list based on forumers who have already chimed in and it got worse when I a...

Sorry that's from a later album than the others. Please omit and move everything else up.

I will try and come up with someone else to replace Cash. I do understand the argument against him for 2010s. Ultimately, Edre is running this poll so I will go by the guidelines Edre sets. Honestly, anyone near the bottom is weaker support on my part anyway. Only the Top 20 are really strongly back...

We now move to song #12. This song was first written in 1926. Elvis recorded this at the suggestion of Col. Parker, as this was Mrs. Parker's favorite song: Personally, I think "Are You Lonesome To-night?" makes up for a lot of the questionable material Parker foisted upon Elvis. Thanks, Mrs. Parker!

If the person wants to put Johnny Cash on his artists list, then why not? It's not unfair to anyone at all, except for the person voting. I don't know. If our collective artist list would have a top three consisting of Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys and Jimi Hendrix it would sour things for me. Now th...

Never realized it was a remake. Also neat that Boots is playing the honking sax. Have a few of his solo albums.

Song #100 is "Inherit The Wind" from the "From Memphis To Vegas/From Vegas To Memphis" album in 1969.

The song was written by Eddie Rabbitt of all people.

He also penned "Patch it Up" and "Kentucky Rain".

Just to play Devil's advocate, Nirvana essentially killed off hair metal Whatever Hair Metal is, it was never alive in my house. A pejorative term. It was a strain of slightly more commercial heavy metal music said to appeal to women more than "real" heavy metal due to the bands' recordings of soft...

In the 1953 poll STARDUST was named as the favorite SONG of all time. Not recordings, just songs.

Ah well that's different then. I don't know if I would land on that one as my final pick but it would be on the short list for sure.

To be honest I much prefer Nat King Cole's version to Shaw's. Cole's version (1957) did not exist yet when the poll was taken in 1953. Stardust's got quite the legacy then. It was already voted best song of all time in a 1941 Billboard poll amongst Orchestra leaders.(which of course Shaw's might've...

In 1953 Billboard polled DJs across the country for their top records of all time and they voted "Stardust" by Artie Shaw as the greatest record of all time.

Why do you say that? I meant why do you say that it's "too bad?" Do you feel the same way about you only having 19 songs in your top 1000 from before 1960? Why not 190?
