  1. For now, I've decided to put a hold on my ranked favourite songs list, and instead compile a top 100 followed by an entirely unordered list of around 900 more favourites, both past and present. Still in progress. [c] = cover version. Some songs have comments by them, though it should be noted I ran out of superlatives early on.
  2. 99% Pretension Free! (TM)

  3. THE TOP 100

  4. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
  5. "In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream"
  6. Powerful, haunting, exalting and memorable. Springsteen sings like the world depends on it - the closing minute of vocalizing says more than mere words ever could. Fall-down perfect.
  7. Coconut Records - West Coast
  8. "We both go together if one falls down. Yeah right, heh"
  9. Everything. Just. Works. From that gorgeous piano - the stuff of music legend - to the soaring vocals to the almightily powerful lyrics that are stunningly profound in their simplicity and naivete.
  10. Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army
  11. "I would rather be anywhere else than here today"
  12. The all-time finest example of juxtaposing a cheerful melody with depressing subject matter.
  13. R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful
  14. "At my most beautiful, I count your eyelashes secretly"
  15. R.E.M. at their most beautiful.
  16. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - The Waiting
  17. "You take it on faith, you take it to the heart"
  18. Heartfelt heartland rock.
  19. The Gaslight Anthem - Meet Me By The River's Edge
  20. "You're the only one who understood me then, you're the only one who will"
  21. Combines the finest Springsteenian grandeur with the hardest-rocking, driving beat heard in decades. Boss references, hard-jangling guitars, and Weinberg-rivalling drumming. "No surrender, my Bobby Jean".
  22. Sha-Na-Na - Those Magic Changes
  23. "I have never heard that song before, but if I don't hear it any more.."
  24. Pure nostalgia. Home to the sweetest melodies ever recorded.
  25. Billy Joel - Say Goodbye to Hollywood
  26. "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again"
  27. The only song that, from time to time, I cannot bear to listen to, because it's just so painful.
  28. Brian Eno and David Byrne - Life Is Long
  29. "Life is long if you give it away, so stay, don't go, 'cos I'm fading away"
  30. Gorgeously melodic pop-rock with more than a slight tinge of gospel lurking in there too. Marvellous.
  31. They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul
  32. "Not to put too fine a point on it, say I'm the only bee in your bonnet"
  33. The Giants at their witty, urbane, catchy best.
  34. Soul Asylum - Runaway Train
  35. "It's just easier than dealing with the pain"
  36. One of that songs that just hits me like a punch to the gut. The lyrics are just horrendously relatable.
  37. Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
  38. "Burning through the sky, yeah, 200 degrees: that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit"
  39. Bombastic fun; unbelievably catchy.
  40. The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl - A Fairytale Of New York
  41. "Got on a lucky one, came in 18 to 1 - I've got a feeling this year's for me and you"
  42. The best Christmas song of all-time. Also the best Irish song of all-time. Also the best song featuring the word "slut" of all-time, though that's less of an accomplishment.
  43. R.E.M. - Fall On Me
  44. "Buy the sky and sell the sky"
  45. Beach Boys-style melodies set alongside lyrics and vocals typical opf R.E.M.'s '80s output. It's a stunning combination.
  46. Billy Joel - Piano Man
  47. "They sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say 'Man, what are you doing here?'"
  48. Melancholy yet uplifting, with one of the finest sing-along choruses ever written, and superb slice-of-life lyrics.
  49. Bruce Springsteen - You'll Be Comin' Down
  50. "Cinnamon sky's gone candy-apple green"
  51. The meticulous highlight of Magic. Cry of a spurned lover, or venomous attack on Bush? Probably both.
  52. Barenaked Ladies - Life, in a Nutshell
  53. "She's like a baby and I'm like a cat, when we are happy we both get fat"
  54. As catchy a song as BNL have ever written, with lyrics that tread the sentimental-insincere line masterfully.
  55. The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice
  56. "Wouldn't it be nice if we were older, then we wouldn't have to wait so long"
  57. Wonderfully wistful, beautifully produced.
  58. R.E.M. - Aftermath
  59. "It makes you laugh and it makes you cry when London falls and you're still alive"
  60. The definitive post-Berry R.E.M. track.
  61. Matt Monro - We're Gonna Change The World
  62. "You'll be amazed, so full of praise, when we've rearranged your world"
  63. As enjoyable as easy listening gets.
  64. Bruce Springsteen - Badlands
  65. "Keep pushing 'till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good"
  66. The Springsteen ethos summarised in four minutes. It's all here.
  67. R.E.M. - Near Wild Heaven
  68. "Living inside near wild heaven"
  69. Beautiful melodies and sublime backing vocals from Mills.
  70. M. Ward - Epistemology
  71. "I just rolled and I tumbled, down a long road I stumbled"
  72. Low-key vocals and dense, melodic instrumentation make this an all-around winner.
  73. Morrissey - That's How People Grow Up
  74. "Praying for love that never comes from someone that does not exist"
  75. Once again, Morrissey perfectly taps into the human condition with his depressingly accurate lyrics. Rocking tune, too.
  76. Carbon Leaf - What About Everything?
  77. "I find it hard to complain when compared with what about everything"
  78. Profound message; soaring instrumentation; catchy-as-a-bitch chorus.
  79. Roger Whittaker - Streets of London
  80. In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity for one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care"
  81. Sobering observation set to a suitably downbeat easy listening tune.
  82. The Polyphonic Spree - Section 9: Light & Day
  83. "Follow the day and reach for the sun"
  84. Gorgeous backing supported by lyrics that can't help but prove uplifting.
  85. Barenaked Ladies - It's All Been Done
  86. "Alone & bored on a 30th century night - will I see you on The Price Is Right?"
  87. Rollicking good fun with pop culture references a-plenty.
  88. Bruce Springsteen - Working On A Dream
  89. "Our love will make it real someday"
  90. Boss-by-numbers. But dammit if it isn't amazing Boss-by-numbers.
  91. Guided By Voices - Hold On Hope
  92. "Everybody's got to hold on hope, it's the last thing that's holding me"
  93. GbV in emotional, melancholy mode - it works perfectly.
  94. They Might Be Giants - New York City
  95. "Everyone's your friend in New York City, and everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty"
  96. A solid girl-grunge tune made into a rock masterpiece by the Giants.
  97. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
  98. "Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah"
  99. Buckley's voice defies description, and this interpretation is faultless.
  100. Bruce Springsteen - Waitin' On A Sunny Day
  101. "I hope that you're coming to stay"
  102. It should be melancholy, yet it's astoundingly upbeat. Best use of a violin in a pop song since "Come On Eileen".
  103. Electric Light Orchestra - Wild West Hero
  104. "Oh, I wish I was a wild west hero"
  105. The superior "Bohemian Rhapsody"
  106. R.E.M. - Imitation of Life
  107. "Charades, pop skill, water hyacinth named by a poet, imitation of life"
  108. R.E.M.'s best attempt at full-blown pop
  109. Geoff Byrd - Before Kings
  110. "Promises slip the skin, disillusionment can now begin"
  111. Sharp, urbane lyrics and tunes worthy of the Beatles - the most "underrated" song on this list
  112. Carbon Leaf - The Boxer
  113. "She is the boxer, she knows when and where to strike"
  114. Who knew folk-pop could be this good? Immensely catchy
  115. Billy Joel - The Entertainer
  116. "It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long; if you're gonna have a hit, you gotta make it fit; so they cut it down to 3:05"
  117. A sharp, scathing indictment of the music industry set to inspired backing
  118. They Might Be Giants - The End of the Tour
  119. "The engagements are booked through the end of the world, so we'll meet at the end of the tour"
  120. Ballad and heavy rock contrast wonderfully in one of TMBG's most powerful
  121. Morrissey - First of the Gang to Die
  122. "First of the gang with a gun in his hand, and the first to do time, the first of the gang to die"
  123. Morrissey's catchiest number. A behemoth of a rocker.
  124. The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations
  125. "Everybody leaves so why, why wouldn't you?"
  126. Heart-wrenching chorus that leaves one rather despondent. Which is, I suspect, rather the point.
  127. The Smiths - Cemetry Gates
  128. "Keats and Yeats are on your side"
  129. Jangly, catchy and morbidly fun.
  130. Bruce Springsteen - Backstreets
  131. "After all this time, to find we're just like all the rest"
  132. Soul-destroying vocal performance here. Bruce never meant what he was saying as much as he did here. You can just tell.
  133. Billy Bragg and Wilco - Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key
  134. "Ain't nobody that can sing like me"
  135. Turns out, Guthrie lyrics, Bragg vocals and Wilco backing make for a stellar combination.
  136. She and Him - This Is Not A Test
  137. "Ticking numbers never made sense, anyways"
  138. Sounds absolutely gorgeous. Deschanel's vocals suit the mood perfectly.
  139. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound
  140. "Young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night"
  141. On an album of downbeat songs, the title track is perhaps most so. Immensely moving.
  142. Elliott Smith - Say Yes
  143. "I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl"
  144. Another painfully-accurate narrative. The acoustic sound adds to the melancholy.
  145. Soul Asylum - Homesick
  146. "I'm homesick for a home I never had"
  147. Another classic from Grave Dancers Union, heartbreaking and soul-searching.
  148. The Gaslight Anthem - Here's Looking At You, Kid
  149. "I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her, praying she won't cancel again tonight"
  150. Way to destroy my teenage optimism. If Darkness on the Edge of Town hadn't done it, The '59 Sound would've.
  151. Bruce Springsteen - The Promised Land
  152. "Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man, and I believe in a promised land"
  153. Bitingly insincere or endearingly optimistic?

  155. "Now I work down at the car-wash, where all it ever does is rain"
  156. Captivating lyrics, gut-wrenching tune

  162. Neil Hannon at his observant, powerful best.

  165. Oasis at their most accomplished - rocking and anti-establishment whilst maintaining a wistful tone
  166. The Shins - Girl Inform Me
  167. "Your clever eyes could easily disguise some backwards purpose, it's enough to make me nervous"
  168. Sublime melodies that rival the Beach Boys matched by the sharpest lyrics of indie
  169. ABBA - Fernando
  170. "If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando"
  171. What ABBA do best: moving lyrics against a perfect pop backing
  172. Phil Collins - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
  173. "How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace?"
  174. Probably the best 'power ballad', Phil at his emotional best
  175. The Divine Comedy - The Pop Singer's Fear Of The Pollen Count
  176. "Even when I get hayfever, I find I may sneeze but I don't really mind"
  177. Summery pop inflected with Hannon's trademark wit

  179. "It got so bad I quit my job, then I got a new job climbing the walls"
  180. Sharp wit and turns of phrase set to an insanely catchy tune.
  181. Renaud - Je vis caché
  182. "Pour vivre heureux, je vis caché"
  183. One of the best tracks by a singer-songwriter, catchy yet haunting
  184. Travis - Turn
  185. "I want to live, I will survive"
  186. The best example of post-Britpop
  187. Bruce Springsteen - The River
  188. "No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle, no flowers, no wedding dress"
  189. Springsteen at his sentimental best - outstanding lyrics
  190. Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
  191. "Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard"
  192. Lovely blend of African melody with distinctly Western lyrics
  193. Morrissey - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
  194. "Only stone and steel accept my love"
  195. Simple conceit, meticulously executed. That trademark Morrissey sound has never sounded better.
  196. The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
  197. "Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter"

  202. Val Doonican - King Of The Road [c]
  203. "I'm a man of means, by no means king of the road"
  204. One of the great folk songs, Doonican's version is probably the most effective
  205. Barenaked Ladies - Jane
  206. "Jane, divided but I can't decide which side I'm on"
  207. Smooth, soothing and another sentimental-sarcastic line-walker

  221. "The photograph reflects every streetlight, a reminder nightswimming deserves a quiet night"
  222. Sublimely nostalgic; a songwriting masterclass
  223. Bruce Springsteen - No Surrender
  224. "We learned more from a three-minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school"
  225. The ultimate statement of defiance. Formed a perfect ode to the ties that bind when placed back-to-back on BITUSA with:
  226. Bruce Springsteen - Bobby Jean
  227. "I miss you baby, good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean"
  228. A song that still kills me every damn time.

  243. Splendidly catchy rhythms and fast-paced stream-of-consciousness lyrics make for a superb song

  245. "Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year"
  246. A finer example of country than most country artists have ever managed

Well, I'm enjoying it so far.

Out of interest, do you already have the 1000 written somewhere else (so it's just a matter of copying and pasting), or are you making the list up as you go along?

Not that I'm nitpicking or putting you down, but did you mean to put You're So Good To Me in the Beach Boys camp, and not the Beatles'?

Martin198311/24/2006

Also, technically, Denis by Blondie is a cover of a much older and slower song called Denise, and I believe that Sunday Girl was also a cover. They do them so well, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were originals.

flfrleta11/25/2006

Sunday Girl is a Blondie original.

My own favorite is In The Flesh.

Wezzo11/25/2006

Thanks for the tips, guys,

Martin198311/25/2006

Oh yes, sorry. It is original. I must've been thinking of the Tide is High or Hanging on the Telephone.

Wezzo11/25/2006

No, I don't have the 1000 written down, I'm just making it up as I go along. 1000 is a rough estimate - it could end up being 800 or 1200.

Yes, I did mean to put YSGTM under Beach Boys. :-)

Rushmore11/26/2006

Sibling Rivalry is one of the better ones of sings the blues album. i'll be commenting on some more here after i have a better look! wooo

Wezzo11/27/2006

Yay! I'm particulrly interested in your thoughts on my BNL picks (any glaring omissions?)

Rushmore11/28/2006

no, the only one i can think of was maybe "War On Drugs" as thats prob my personal fave from that album, along with another postcard. but think you covered the basis with that list mate.c

after reading your list, i listened to get up by REM again, after years of not hearing it, that song is immense.

Wezzo11/28/2006

Indeed!

I cannot believe I missed War on Drugs, probably my favourite BNL ballad.. consider it added!

Rushmore12/02/2006

i'd agree its one of the stronger BNL ballads indeed. i tell you what song i'm getting into, Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank mostly the live version on rock spectacle.

Fairytale of New York, nice choice. hands down THE BEST christmas song ever.

Wezzo12/08/2006

Agreed!

Rock Spectacle I don't have, it's soo expensive... is it worth the £15+ it is on Amazon marketplace?

Rushmore12/12/2006

i'd say no. cus a fgew of them old apartment, what a good boy, brian wilson and million dollars have been featured exact same live recording on their other cds (best of and stunt 2nd disc) there are some other good ones on there mostly from MYSD and Born on a Pirate Ship. though they are good recordings and have made me like the respective albums more, but for 15+, i'd pass and wait for price to go down. i got my copy for 15 quid too, but it was one of first BNL ones i got so makes it little more worth it, but if i were you i'd wait, but if you want to go for it, its a good record, only lt down by fact they re-use live recordings.

I've got tickets to see The Fall on 5th March at a club near Birmingham. It's just a small club that will hold 700 maximum.

Wezzo02/16/2007

Oh, excellent. Hope you enjoy it.

Have you heard "Reformation! Post TLC" yet?

Martin198302/17/2007

I should mention that Only You by the Flying Pickets is a cover version (the original was by Yazoo, from the previous year. I have it if you want it).
Also the Phil Collins songs True Colors, A Groovy Kind of Love and You Can't Hurry Love were originally by Cyndi Lauper, The Mindbender and The Supremes, respectively.
Manfred Mann's The Mighty Quinn was originally by Bob Dylan, Tainted Love was originally by Marc Bolan's girlfriend Gloria Jones and I can't remember who did Rockin' All Over The World, but the Quo did cover it (though they definitely made it their own!)

I'm a nerd.

Martin198302/17/2007

And Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers and Streets of Lonodn by Whittaker are both covers too!

Wezzo02/17/2007

Heh, thanks for all of those! I'll go and correct them. You pedant, you.

Martin198302/17/2007

**Looks on in an embarrassed manner**

Check out these:
MUSE
The Beatles
Bob Dylan

Wezzo03/12/2007

Cool stuff there, thanks!

0dysseus05/22/2007

Nice list/revision. Excellent #1...

But "...we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream."

I mention it because I think that Mr. Springsteen would argue that the runaway American Dream has been hurting most of his characters.

"When we're out in the streets and we see one car..."

Wezzo05/22/2007

Thanks very much. And you are, of course, absolutely right about the lyric.. I can't believe I'd make such a mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.

And you gotta love Born to Add!

0dysseus05/22/2007

I love Bruce Stringbean and The S. Street Band.

The whole album is pretty awesome.

Rushmore07/11/2007

man i'm going to have to get you into Arctic monkeys and Oasis it seems lol

hey, BNL worked!

Wezzo07/11/2007

:-D True!
