Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around - 10

I was driving around with a friend who's one of those sad unfortunates who's "not really into music", but when this song came on on shuffle, he said "this is a cool song". Those little victories...

Not sure how classical it really is supposed to sound, but it is a very nice tune.

Also, since this is #800 there is a new top 100 coming up. I want to reveal that one next weekend, so you'll have a week to catch up with your missing votes!

This is a much-performed standard that I do like. This version is very tranquil, for better or worse, but mostly for better.

Dorothy Ashby – Moving Fingers: 7
Apparently Ashby is a prominent jazz harp player. I never heard harp jazz before and sadly this will have to wait as here she has switched to the Japanese koto, a very cool instrument. Too bad it apparently catches her in a fusion period of her life, where the sound is inspired by soul and funk in such a way that it drowns out the koto. A pretty cool song regardless, but I still need more straight koto music in my life.

798) The Blue Nile - Let's Go Out Tonight : 7
797) Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around : 9
796) Black Sabbath - Hole in the Sky : 7
795) Mark Lanegan - One Hundred Days : 6
794) The Five Keys - Ling Ting Tong : 5
793) 2Pac - So Many Tears : 5 (2Pac's status is kind of a mystery to me, he seems to be this massively important and hugely acclaimed artist and yet his acclaim is fairly tame)
792) The Fratellis - Lupe Brown : 6
791) Arcade Fire - Deep Blue : 6
790) Eric Matthews - Everything So Real : 6,5 (Feenyyyyyyyy, FeeEEEeeeEEEEeeeenYYYyyyYYYyyyYY)
789) Billie Holiday - Blue Moon : 6,5
788) Urszula and Budka Suflera - Dmuchawce, latawce, wiatr : 7
787) Christine and the Queens - Tilted : 5,5
786) Emma Pollock - Paper and Glue : 6
785) Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music, Pt. 2 : 4
784) Dave Dobbyn - You Oughta Be in Love : 4
783) Janet Jackson - Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun) : 6
782) Miley Cyrus - The Floyd Song (Sunrise) : 7
781) Fazerdaze - Lucky Girl : 8

And a few songs from the past few months I already know, in a desparate bid to push for my favorite (hopefully not too late):
780) Colbie Caillat - Bubbly : 5
778) Sugababes – Freak Like Me : 6
770) Joe Cocker – N’Oubliez Jamais : 4 (I have some grudge against this song as I will have it stuck in my head everytime someone asks me not to forget something)
767) Black Sabbath – Wicked World : 7
765) Mercury Rev – Car Wash Hair : 10
763) Gustafer Yellowgold – Tiny Purple Moon : 7 (but kinda sounds like a Smashing Pumpkins parody to be honest)
759) Creedence Clearwater Revival – Ooby Dooby : 6
751) The Knife – Like a Pen : 10
749) Lostprophets – Sway… : 9,5 : I won't come back to the horrible history about that band, but the first 2 albums have been a huge part of my musical journey so I still hold a bunch of them pretty dearly
743) Orelsan – Soireé Ratée : 9 (probably going to drop a bit in my updated list, but still a damn fun song)
738) Madvillain, featuring Quasimoto – America’s Most Blunted : 7,5
739) Galaxie 500 – Decomposing Trees : 8,5
729) Black Sabbath – Under the Sun/ Every Day Comes and Goes : 7,5
705) Kanye West, featuring Adam Levine – Heard ‘Em Say 7,5
703) Kool & the Gang – Ladies’ Night : 4
702) Mariah Carey, featuring Jay-Z – Heartbreaker 7
701) Toots and the Maytals – Love’s Gonna Walk Out on Me : 10

Despite the promising title this is not as aggressive as I hoped. More something cool than angry in sound. It's okay for what it is, but not something that stands out to me.
