August 30, 200619 yr I laugh at your feeble list. May I ask what all the hype is about Yellow? Shiver is so much better. Haha, Monkey Wrench, Foo Fighters have also done much better. Live Forever is probably the best Oasis song, but not sogn in the world.
August 30, 200619 yr I think the top ten is respectable, I mean it's obviously based on the commercial hype which surrounded the songs and not opinion, because then we'd all have problems with it, but I think it's a fairly accurate list of the most high profiled songs of the past few decades...I do have a major problem with the list though! Why isn't hotel california higher up? I mean here we have one of the best written songs ever and it's been hailed for it's lyrics so I don't understand how songs like can't get you out of my head and stan are placed further up!
August 30, 200619 yr I can' t believe something like Hey Yeah by Outcast is high on the list. A lot of these artists really shouldn't be that high' date=' or even on there for the matter. :thinking:[/quote'] Hey Ya is a great song by an amazing band
August 30, 200619 yr And where's The Time Of The Season by The Zombies? I'd put it on this list, it's an awesome song.
August 30, 200619 yr and where the hell is Sigur Ros? or dosnt it count cause its not english? :thinking:
August 30, 200619 yr Vote for Vaka in the top-five :bigcry: Actually, there're many songs that should be here. Shitty list.
August 30, 200619 yr Vote for Vaka in the top-five :bigcry: Actually, there're many songs that should be here. Shitty list. bless you :P lets start working on that then Nik ;)
August 30, 200619 yr yeah a coldplaying list is required. clocks wasn't even in the list dave put up. and outkast? wtf are the voters on? lol
August 30, 200619 yr Yeah it seems unfair, and the amount of Oasis songs in the list makes me think the author is nothing but an Oasis fan... But what pisses me off is Smells Like Teen Spirit 3rd : what's beautiful in this song ? The lyrics are just like others, the music's particularly boring, and long. And just if I listen to it, then Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway To Heaven, Comfortably Numb, Hallelujah and Wish you Were Here, then I can't imagine how I can agree with this ! That's right, but there are exceptions : I doubt Shine On You Crazy Diamond was ever on air, 'cause 25 minutes don't really fit in with the radio standards... I can't agree with you on that point. A song means two things : -The music, which is something orchestrated in the way Jeff Buckley chose, and I think it's much more beautiful with one only guitar than with the old orchestra and gospell-sounding backing vocals -The lyrics : Leonhard Cohen only wrote the two first verses of the Hallelujah we all know, Jeff Buckley wrote the rest, changing fundamentally the meaning of the song (Cohen's message is like "I love God, I'll love Him forever", whereas Buckley tells about someone whose life and love made him lose his faith, which is much more tragic) In conclusion I think the author's right to include Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah in his (or her) list, because there's not much in common in Cohen's and Buckley's versions. Howerver, this list sucks sooow much ! I can't imagine a journalist or anywone could be proud of writing that. I'm not arguing your points about cover songs, but it's been bugging me all day, so I looked it up, and, as I suspected, Cohen wrote all the lyrics for Hallelujah. Jeff Buckley didn't write any of them. I've been a Cohen fan for years, as well as a Buckley fan, but I thought maybe there was a buckley version I had missed. The lyrics as Buckley sings them appear in Cohen's poetry compilation Stranger Music. I'm not being picky, but since I notice you're one of the board's more knowledgable about music, I thought you'd like to know.
August 30, 200619 yr i think a coldplaying list would be a good idea, i was thinking about this for awhile, but every time it ended up with "that list would suck anyway"...though, it'd be fun for sure let's make one, me says! "Coldplaying's Top 100 Songs"
August 30, 200619 yr Haha it would suck but not as much as the list above does. Besides, it'd bring some live and fun into this place. Though I'm pretty sure that since it's a Coldplay board we'll have Yellow, Scientist and all in the top-ten anyway.
August 30, 200619 yr Stupid question: Why would it suck? because it would be full of Coldplay-, Radiohead-, Beatles-, U2- and pop songs. no randomness at all
August 30, 200619 yr yeah, would be fun i guess. i'd really like to know which song would win or which songs would make the top 20
August 30, 200619 yr right....because I'm curious about it if would relly be like that...I mean the Coldplay and radiohead and the others mentioned would really be on the first places....because if I would vote....I'd vote for songs I think that have the best quality.......and not that I like most....I see a difference there...
August 30, 200619 yr i think we should make "the favourite songs" and not "the greatest songs" list, because the "greatest" always turns into "favourite"...all the time...believe me :rolleyes: and anyway...favourites are the greatest, aren't they?
August 30, 200619 yr Well....you are right about that....that greatest always turn into the favourites...... hmmm...but that favourite are the greatest?:thinking: I think that depends...in my case I'd say it's not like that......I don't think that my favourite songs at the moment are the greatest songs...noooo.....never....I just listen to what I like... but I think with most people it is like you said...
August 30, 200619 yr That is the point, favourites are the greatest. That's the only way you can call something great. There're no any rules or stereotypes which songs are great and which are not, that's about what song is the greatest for you. That's why there'll be many Coldplay songs. But when did it stop us?.. I mean, we all know it'sa Coldplay board where people like Coldplay, U2, RH and all, but we still argue and make polls about bands and songs. Though I think it's pretty hard to choose 50 greatest songs, I'd think for years probably.
