The 1,552 best songs ever

[SheriffFatman]

I am 36. I bought my first single aged 8, it was Living Doll by Cliff Richard & The Young Ones. In the 28 years in between I have been obsessed with music, and over the course of this time have come up with a list of the 1,552 best songs ever. This is the playlist that I listen to on Shuffle on my iPod most of the time.

I just though I should ask the good people of Haven 2 questions...

1    Is there anything I've missed?
2    Is there anything anyone disagrees with for which I need to launch an impassioned defence, because I'd enjoy that

Here they are, in alphabetical order...

Wow, any chance of listing them by artist as well please?

[greendemon]

this is a really impressive undertaking!

having scrolled through the list, i can't find many songs or artists missing (with the possible exception of tears for fears - wot, no 'everybody wants to rule the world'?) and i think that while obviously everyone's personal taste will vary (for instance, i'd argue you've picked the wrong elbow songs and not all of the right biffy clyro or radiohead ones) this list represents a pretty comprehensive distilled summary of classic british favourites.

[davyboyb]

Fascinating, thanks so much for posting. So much good stuff on here I could spend hours looking over this.

At a first glance, a few eclectic things sticking out.....loving the Chas n Dave inclusions - so underrated as musical genius rather than novelty act. Loving the Beatmasters/Betty Boo - this came on the radio the other day and I had forgotten how brilliant it was.

I would have Pink Floyd's version of Comfortably Numb as well as/instead of Scissor Sisters.

No Billy Joel or am I not looking closely enough? Lots of stuff to choose from but She's Always a Woman would probably be his stand-out track for me.

But in the end this is all a matter of taste - brilliant and I may use this list as a basis to revisit a few classics myself.

(Have you got the 1000 songs you must hear before you die book by the way? Well worth getting for this sort of thing).

[rubcale]

Wow.

You really deserve kudos for this!

Makes for interesting reading but I wouldn't agree or disagree with whatever you have listed - in the long run it is all subjective. There are records I don't rate that may be on there - others I do which have missed out but in the end it's a matter of opinion and each is equally valid.

I thought it would just be a matter of putting the artists name in the search engine but I tried that with Diana Ross and The Supremes and it came up with nothing found although I see records by them listed.

[rubcale]

Interesting that you include River Deep by the Supremes and the Four Tops but not the original by Ike & Tina Turner.

[greendemon]

on the subject of covers, is it really necessary to have both the INXS and paloma faith versions of 'never tear us apart'?

[borneoman]

^agree, Paloma Faith's cover adds nothing to the original

I do miss Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees

and personally too much Coldplay for my taste

weakest link of the list has to be U2's Sweetest Thing

I just did a search on the page to find out, for example, how many Suede songs were included.

[Razzle Dazzle]

very very impressive, you have a lot of music I have and I recently made a 60's playlist so thought I would post up a few songs from that era I have in my top 200 playlist that you might be missing

harry nilsson - everybody's talkin
Jefferson airplane - somebody to love
herman's hermits - im into something good
smokey robinson & the miracles - tracks of my tears
the turtles - happy together
the searchers - needles & pins
small faces - itchycoo park
Gerry & the pacemakers - how do you do?
tommy roe - dizzy
led zeppelin - good times, bad times
the zombies - time of the season
iron butterfly - in-a-gadda-da-vida
cream - white room
bob Dylan - the times they are a changing
the supremes - you keep me hanging on
strawberry alarm clock - incense and peppermints
the mamas & the papas - California dreaming
del Shannon - runaway
roy orbison - oh pretty women
roy orbison - only the lonely
the bee gees - new York mining disaster 1941
the bee gees - I've gotta get a message to you
the foundations - build me up buttercup
the foundations - baby, now that ive found you

Really, really strange - must be living in a parallel universe.

Just did a search for Suede and up came - "no posts were found"

[greendemon]

rub, have you tried pressing ctrl + f to search the text on the page itself, rather than using the forum search?

[raliverpool]

It's all subjective but that's a pretty sound, catholic selection of 1500+ tracks.

Funnily enough this 42 year old is very close to having ready my 1000 favourite (singles) of the 1980s.

I've decided to take the bold decision to limit any act or artist combination (George Michael/Wham; The Smiths/Morrissey; The Jam/Style Council; etc) to a maximum of 10 tracks to limit the repetition. When it is ready I'll begin posting it in the Retro Lounge.

[Deleted]

Wow, great work on this, just tweeted on Twitter, thought it was worth sharing.
It must have taken you ages to put this together, you seem to have included some classics from a wide variety of genres. Good stuff! I'm sure there will be some classics you haven't thought of which no doubt people will mention but all in all a fine job!
Yes, you definately deserve kudos for this!

[vya]

Wow. Will look more closely later on - just scrolling through I see a lot of stuff I like.

But....no ABC? None of the Lexicon of Love singles? Really?...Bah!

Also appreciative of the Chas and Dave stuff - - - and so so good to see "Anytime Anyplace Anywhere" by Carter USM too. A fantastic single, almost completely overlooked. And how unhappy Bacardi were with the use of their slogan in a song with such a theme..

Obviously any such list is by definition subjective, but seems there's a lot of good stuff there...

[madmurray]

A very impressive list. Although disappointed that the Doors are not in there. Everyone should have a doors track in their life.

[Shireblogger]

Sherriffatman, it's a brilliant list.

To test how well it would overlap with my own version, I thought I'd take one letter, and see where we coincide, and what your most noticeable omissions are.

The letter I picked was "V", partly because it is quite a short selection. You picked 14 tracks starting with a "V", so I did the same.

We overlapped on 5 tracks:-
1382 Video Games Lana Del Rey
1383 Vienna Ultravox
1386 Vincent Don McLean
1388 Viva la Vida Coldplay
1390 Voodoo Ray A Guy Called Gerald

I would make a slight modification to one selection:-

1377 Valerie Amy Winehouse
replaced by Valerie by Mark Ronson ft Amy Winehouse

The 8 tracks which wouldn't make it onto my playlist are:-
1378 Valerie The Zutons
1379 Velouria Pixies
1380 Vertigo The Libertines
1381 Vicious Lou Reed
1384 The View From The Afternoon Arctic Monkeys
1385 Village Green Preservation Society Kate Rusby
1387 Violet Hill Coldplay
1389 Voodoo People The Prodigy


And they would be replaced by these 8 "V"s, in descending order of priority:-
V1 Virginia Plain - Roxy Music
V2 Video Killed The Radio Star - Buggles
V3 Viva Las Vegas - Elvis Presley
V4 Victoria - Kinks
V5 Valley Of Tears - Buddy Holly & Crickets
V6 Venus - Bananarama
V7 Valley Road - Bruce Hornsby & Range
V8 Voulez-Vous - Abba


Clearly, my taste is more pop and less indie than your's, but I would urge you to consider the first 5 of those selections.


Anyway, that was fun. I might do another letter tomorrow.

Anyone styling himself sheriff fatman is bound to include a decent amount of Carter USM.  That, of course, is a very good thing.  Perhaps one of their b-side cover versions should have been included as well.
