EXTINCTION - 200 GREATEST ROCK SONGS

[SavoyBG]

as a result DDD lists probably become more AM-like over time

I believe that was Henrik's point?

AM's lists were used as part of the criteria for our "Greatest Rock Songs" list.

[TimmyWing]

I like Jefferson Airplane, but I wouldn't call this song an absolute classic. White Rabbit, while possibly more overrated, is definitely more crucial I'd say.

167. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

There are about 15 songs left that I'm not a big fan of but I do get the appeal of all of them. Kashmir is all about the riff for me. It's a good riff, an iconic one, but that's all that the song really has going for it. To me, the song almost seems out of place with the riff. If you're looking for great songs with great guitar riffs, Zeppelin has at least 20. This isn't one of them.

[Chris K.]

but most importantly it shows a generational bias in your opinion.

Their best known album did not even crack the top 20 on the USA album charts.

Radiohead have had 2 number 1 albums in the USA, and 3 other albums that landed in the top 3.

Not to mention the fact that even Entertainment Weekly, one of the most mainstream US magazines I can think of, recently published an article on them wherein they stated they were the most important band of the last 20 years.

I eliminated Stevie Wonder- Living for the City

The next eligible poster who removes something will get us down to the final 40 songs.

[stone37]

There's only one song remaining that I like better than "Bo Diddley."

I feel your pain, Savoy. But Diddley had a good run. My all-time #2 ("Penny Lane") did not make the list. And my number one ("Strawberry Fields Forever") got kicked aside on day one by the man they call Moonbeam, the slayer of Beatles.

Your two favorite songs of all time are on the same 45?

I LOVE "Penny Lane," but SFF is just a 7 for me.

I actually prefer Costello's live version of "Penny Lane" as slightly better than the Beatles version. I think he sings it with more emotion for the place that the song is about than Paul did.

Thanks for the link. Costello is my seventh favorite artist of all time (behind Dylan, Bruce, Beach Boys, Stones, Prince, and the Beatles). I still would go with Paul's original vocal. Paul pays it cool which fits the tone (wry, bemused) of the song so well.

In terms of having "Fields" and "Lane" at one and two, I always felt that this single marked the band's creative highpoint and it also best illustrates the respective strengths of Lennon and McCartney as composers and arrangers.

I eliminate:

76. Be My Baby - Ronettes

A great song for an old-fashioned song, but still the worst one left IMO.

Can the next one please do the pasting taking this into account? Thanks in advance!

[SavoyBG]

IA great song for an old-fashioned song,

old fashioned does not make it below anything newer. Music is timeless. Some of the greatest records ever are almost 100 years old now.
