My Top 100 Hits of All time

[Cruyff14]

Solid list.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Solid list.

You too, love the additions of You only get what you give and Blinded By The Light (as a cinephile it's use in Blow is one of my favorite film scenes).

You too, love the additions of You only get what you give and Blinded By The Light (as a cinephile it's use in Blow is one of my favorite film scenes).

I'm a massive Springsteen fan (not sure how aware you are of that), but I much prefer MM's version to Bruce's, which just sounds so jangly. Love the arrangement they gave it. You Only Get What You Give is a lot of fun. Makes me incredibly happy and without doubt always cheers me up.

For What It's Worth is cool. Really dig that track. Real summer song.

Times They Are A Changing goes without saying as one of the greatest songs ever penned. "Dont' criticise what you don't understand." Perfection.

Dock is rad. Makes me feel so relaxed.

Here Comes The Sun is magnificent. George is probably my favourite Beatle. Love Got My Mind Set On You and My Sweet Lord. Brilliant tracks.

The Bucket is a totally rad track. My favourite KoL track too. Love the guitar that opens the song.

 

[raskolnikov]

'Paradise' by Coldplay and 'Parklife' by Blur are probably in my Top 5 most hated songs. The CIA could use any Coldplay songs in their torture sessions.

EFA

You're the Voice by John Farnham would be my no.1 hated song without any shadow of a doubt. I feel physically ill every time I hear that song.

I love Manfred Mann but my favourite song of theirs is The Mighty Quinn. That would be pretty close to my top ten.

Agreed. How about 'Playing To Win' by LRB or 'The Horses' by Daryl Braithwaite? Might be the worst Australian songs ever behind the all-time worst which is 'Jukebox in Siberia' by Skyhooks

 

[WALDENPOND]

3. Manfred Mann - Blinded By The Light

Actually Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Manfred Mann (the band) split in 1969, although the other members later reformed without Manfred Mann (the man) as The Manfreds.

All pretty straightforward

 

[screech]

I love Manfred Mann but my favourite song of theirs is The Mighty Quinn. That would be pretty close to my top ten.

Mine would be Ha! Ha! Said The Clown (Mighty Quinn's pretty bloody good tho)

I've only heard the original recording

Is there a definitive full band version I should check out?

OH MAN.

It's the best pro shot I could find... turn it up LOUD.



There are numerous clips from shows online I can show you too that show the crowd getting into it, it's nuts.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Brilliant! Thanks

 

[Cruyff14]

Brilliant! Thanks

This is how you go to a concert.



You big on any of his other stuff?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Nebraska is the album that grabbed me the most. Just love the stripped back, raw nature of it. Darkness on the edge of town probably my No 2.
