Ok, one person would then.

minneapolisgenius said:

That's one of the reasons why I only did a top 20. You can read my list in two seconds.

sextonseven said:

Yeah, and even THAT was difficult for me.....ADD and all.

sextonseven said:

I like your number 1.

Moonbeam said:

I think that song is ultimate synth heaven.

I should have my list ready by tomorrow.....preview

1. Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain
2. Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side

Moonbeam said:

We DEFINITELY like different Madonnas.

GangstaFam said:

Indeed.

damosuzuki said:

Here's where my perception of Beatles dominance in your lists comes from!

Moonbeam said:

Thank heavens there's more than enough to go around. :whew!:

GangstaFam said:

There's a lot of great things to choose from... there are only about 10 Madonna songs I don't like.

See, I could never do a list like this. I have a lot of favorite songs that would be on a list, but I would have no idea how to order them. My mood and opinion changes constantly that it feels like a waste of time. Plus, I get totally hung up when comparing one artist to another. The best I can do is make like a top 20 list within each artist's work.

2- The Beatles - She Loves You
3- Bob Marley -I Shot The Sherrif
4- Bob Marley - Is This Love
5- Elvis Presely - Hound Dog
