Hitter's Hot Hundred

[The Hitman]

Well, it has taken a long time, with endless changes, and finally I made a list of my favorite 100 songs of all time. Remember, it's not the best 100 songs, but my personal favorites.

A wide range of genres, from pop rock to metal, with some satire in between. There is also a large time frame, from the early 60's till 2001, and every decade in between being represented.

[Macca19]

Not a bad list at all!!!!!

[Shinboners]

Hey, well done on the list Hitters, even if only one of those songs you picked ("Don't Dream It's Over" - Crowded House) would make it into my top 100. ;) :)

[mandy]

Excellent list Hitters!

I'd maybe have in mine numbers 4, 10, 11, 15, 20, 21, 22, 28, 36, 40, 41, 44, 46, 49, 59, 63 and 79.

You have very good taste. :)

[Nic]

I like. I'd probably have about half of them in my list, if I could ever be stuffed doing one.:cool:

You've got Bohemian Like You in my head now.:)

[Mags]

:confused: :confused:

I got no idea what those songs are :eek: :confused:

Techno?

I went through and deleted the ones i either hadnt heard or didnt like. Not a bad list at all and you get extra points for some Beatles classics and Jeb's Harpoon! Nice call on Ben Lee too, his album rules but i think you will find it is called Breathing Tornados not Torpedoes...

Oopsie! :( :eek: I dunno why I typed Torpedoes, maybe I was reading something on Ian Thorpe or something... ;)

Good selection of music there Hitman! Not bad at allhttp://www.bigfooty.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[WCE2000]

10 - John Melloncamp - Summer of 69
One of my favourites, although its not really remembered as a classic. I love the tune, and the words are very reminiscent of childhood memories.

9 - Don McLean - American Pie
Best song lyrically ever written. Don McLean is a genius with this song, although im not a big fan of the tune, no song gets close to the lyrics. The song sums up the 70's with a series of metaphors which most people fail to see.

8 - AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Pump it up. What an epic, never to be forgotten. Blow your brains out with the soothing sounds of ACDC.

7 - Semisonic - Closing Time
Soothing, calm song which helps you just 'chill' out. Not bad to drink a beer to either.

6 - Metallica - King Nothing
Another heavy song that the neighbours hate but i love. Very good lyrics, and a brilliant tune to match.

5 - Beatles - Twist and Shout
Im not a beatles fan at all, but this song is one of my favourites. Brilliant to dance to, and lots of fun.

4 - AC/DC - Shook Me All Night Long
Couldnt be anywhere but in the top five. Absolutely pump up the volume and scream your lungs out to it.

3 - Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Another fave of everyones. A great mixture, with about fifteen different styles throughout the song. Is a brilliant song.

2 - Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Always a classic. Brilliantly written song, and senstationally played. The end is one of the best, and always good to blow the neighbours away.

1 - Guns n Roses - November Rain
Brilliant song, brilliant lyrically and the melody is unchangelled. the 7 minute buildup is sensational and the finale to it is brilliant, will never be surpased in my books.

[Danny Chook Fan Club]

Psst - Summer Of '69 was Bryan Adams.

Good stuff Hitters, although I'm noting a distinct lack of ABBA in that top 100 - Rip will not be impressed.

And Hitman...you told me I'd like 10 to 15 of your selections...a foolhardy overestimation, that! :o Didn't have to change hands when tallying up any personal faves of mine your list! :p

[Richmondfan#1]

Not bad Hitman. I agree with your selection on Nirvana songs but I would've put more in ;). Interesting that you put Lithium at number 5, i think it's a very underrated song so I agree with that choice .... "I'm so horny, that's ok my will is good"

[brampta]

That was a really good list Hitman - you can come and hang out at my parties anytime - I know the music will be in safe hands!!

It's actually really interesting when listening to people's opinions on the hottest 100 songs of all times. The Fuddy Duddy radio station in Perth did theirs over the last week and I must admit, I really loved listening to it, even though I wasn't alive when most of those songs were popular.

Imagine always snares number one, followed by Unchained Melody, Bohemian Rhapsody and um well I forget now.

I am going to lose all credibility for saying this but Phil Collins - In the Air tonight is a personal fave of mine :D

[daicos4ever]

Awesome list Hitters.... if i find time i will do one of my own

[FIGJAM]

That would be an awesome list if you replace Radiohead's Creep, with Radiohead's Street Spirit!

Oh well, if you love Creep, you love Creep.

Don't know if you've seen the video Meeting People Is Easy, but it shows the band on the OK tour and you will quickly realise the distain the band has for the song!

They have played it live once in the last 5 years.

Creep means a lot to me, I think there are better Radiohead songs, but it is my favorite.

I know Thom Yorke's hatred towards the Pablo Honey opener. It's like Kurt's hatred of playing Smells Like Teen Spirit live, they both think that they got famous because of one song, and that their careers hinged on those songs.

[Bigger]

Bands grow to hate the tunes that "break" them because they have to play and/or listen to the things millions of times - not for any other reason. Tunes get boring, especially ones with the requisite number of "hooks" and sufficient bland memorability to get accepted by the great thick unwashed.

You don't see too many giggling whores.


BTW your list contains plenty of good sheeit but is overwhelmingly so as to be freakishly.. well, how can I say this... white. Time to get on the good foot...
