Best 100 Songs Ever - OzChess

**Just2Good** · 01-06-2008, 07:59 PM

I'm looking to update my mp3 collection soon. I've reviewed some websites naming what they believe the top 500 songs of all time to be, but I have found myself disputing most the entries. Thought maybe I'd ask you guys what songs you think I should add to my collection.

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Are We Not Men? - Devo

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda - The Pogues (A cover in 3/4 of original by Eric Bogle in 4/4)

Burn - Nine Inch Nails

You just put what music you like on there. It would make no sense taking a Top 500 songs list, putting that on your MP3 and then only listening to 20 or 30 songs. Those top 'x' lists are only someone's opinion so don't be surprised if you don't like any of the songs on it.

Great Song, but the entertainment is absolutely unbeatable! A one man show that for some reason doesn't get old.

I love this clip (and the song too).

Radiohead - Just

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

Are We Not Men? - Devo

THEY TELL US THAT
WE LOST OUR TAILS
EVOLVING UP
FROM LITTLE SNAILS
I SAY IT'S ALL
JUST WIND IN SAILS
ARE WE NOT MEN?
WE ARE DEVO!
WE'RE PINHEADS NOW
WE ARE NOT WHOLE
WE'RE PINHEADS ALL
JOCKO HOMO
ARE WE NOT MEN?
D-E-V-O
MONKEY MEN ALL
IN BUSINESS SUIT
TEACHERS AND CRITICS
ALL DANCE THE POOT
ARE WE NOT MEN?
WE ARE DEVO!
ARE WE NOT MEN?
D-E-V-O
GOD MADE MAN
BUT HE USED THE MONKEY TO DO IT
APES IN THE PLAN
WE'RE ALL HERE TO PROVE IT
I CAN WALK LIKE AN APE
TALK LIKE AN APE
I CAN DO WHAT A MONKEY CAN DO
GOD MADE MAN
BUT A MONKEY SUPPLIED THE GLUE
WE MUST REPEAT
O.K. LET'S GO!

LOL. That would have to be close to the worst crap I have heard in years. Who was the jokemeister who dug it up from an ancient cess pit.

be fair - it was the 60's. picking are slim in the 60's as far as music goes. as such this one doesn't rank that badly after due consideration.
