Songs & rankings

11.21.2004

Recently, Rolling Stone published an oh-so-pretentious "500 Greatest Songs" list. While these choices are, of course, always a matter of personal aesthetic preferences, I much prefer this counter-list (developed from an open thread here). At the very least, the second list is just much more interesting — and diverse!

I compiled a "100 favorite songs" list last year. It desperately needs an updating, but there it is.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for albums I ordered from March Records: The Sprites, Starling, Spiders, Tiger, and Sprites; Embellish, Wake Me Up!; Club 8, The Friend I Once Had.

Who is to say that the songs nominated on the non ranked list aren't among the 2000+ songs nominated from the Rolling stone? Just the RS ranked all songs to come up with the highest ranked songs.
