Re: 2022 EOY Song List Updates

Hi Holden. I am completed a separate but related EOY piece to be shared in due course. Just wanted to double check on the below lists which are not included in the year end file to see if they are completely out of scope - Vice (formerly Noisey) (included in 2020 lists) - 3Voor12 (included in 2020 l...

I was thinking that specific to this site, acclaim for his work will decline in the wake of his continued anti-Semitic rants and recent comments on InfoWars. i loved his music since I first heard Through Wire close to 19 years ago and defended his music when his ego started to get out of control pos...

Re: RTÉ Gold (IRL) - Top 100 Beatles Songs of All Time (2022)

Great find. Didn't realise RTE compiled these lists in the last year or so. They used to do a top 50 or 100 list on bank holidays to cover a few hours on radio where presenters were off. Looks like they were busy in lockdown too! The Irish list is a great addition. I've been collecting lists (many i...

Electronic/Dance music almost non-existent on the list considering its influence over the last 30 odd years.

Unfinished Sympathy seems to holding steady looking at the historical rankings. Born Slippy relatively so but would hate to see it drop downwards. It deserves its high placing . Marshall Jefferson 'Move Your Body' is featured from 1986 and I don't think there is another after that for 20 years unles...

The list has a little bit of everything (except Jazz, which got f*cked here), and seriously lacking some of the essential Blues tracks. Order is whatever, for a 'starter list', it's okay. It could be worse. Seems Jazz and Blues can't win on a songs list going forward. Electronic/Dance music almost ...
