Top 100 Songs Of All Time

Watched it again on E4 last night and what a great top ten it was. There's bound to be a list somewhere for it, but you could barely fault the top ten. Freddie got beat to number one by Imagine. Other great acts in the top ten included Police and Verve. Well worth a watch.

 

Music is all about tastes though. For me a Queen record would get nowhere near the top 10, have to say neither would the Verve (Bitter Sweet Symphony, i presume).

 

No it was The Drugs Don't Work. Police was I'll Be Watching You, which i'm proud to have as number one when I was born. It came in at number five. Should be a list somewhere on the channel 4 website we can look through. Ben E King with Stand By Me was another.

 

shall i play em for you Dreanboy
or are the best left alone by me

 

i cannot believe the amount of ***** that comes out of your mouth db3k

The Police with i'll be watching you err i dont know that particular Police song,doubt mr sting does either,although he may know one called every breath you take,ffs db3k, the extent of your lack of knowledge knows no bounds,football,cricket nar music i would shut up if i was you ,i dont know you but i am guessing your a right gobshite

RE: i cannot believe the amount of ***** that comes out of your mouth db3k

Oh Dear Ginger
you are Joking,arnt you

yes he maybe but he really should not comment on matters he knows little about,as though he does nt

 

Drugs Dont Work would be even further down my personal list.

(Sorry about no numbers, had to add them and could only be bothered to do top 10).

 

Dude........

it would have been easier to understand if it wasn't just 1-10 that's been numbered Thanks for the post though. Whiter Shade Of Pale got some good airtime, but Manics didn't (N) (N) (N)

 

RE: Dude........

Feel free to copy it and number them all up.

 

RE: Dude........

Is that a bit better for you. Numbered up in tens.

 

RE: The Full 100

3. Hey Jude - The Beatles

That song wouldn't even get in my top 20 beatles songs...goes on far too long

 

Why do they persist in these pointless lists of opinion

Imagine - overplayed and overrated. Same for Bohemian Rhapsody.

 

It was the top 100 No.1 singles

Not the top 100 songs of all time.

 

For fun. Who does it hurt? nt
