96. Roxy Music - "Editions of You"
"Editions of You" is a full-on assault from start to finish. The opening keyboard chords gel with a downright dangerous bass line to foster a formidable groove behind Bryan Ferry's maniacally delivered lyrics. After three raucous verses, three absolutely absurd solos erupt- Andy Mackay's saxophone blisters, Phil Manzanera's guitar shredding boils and Brian Eno's VCS3 scalds new sounds to send the song careening into a wonderfully colorful splendor. Bryan Ferry returns for another verse, and even he can hardly keep up as he reckons "this crazy music drives you insane" just before Brian Eno usurps control yet again. The song is attacked with limitless abandon, and it strikes me as more visceral, exciting and threatening than the punk music it supposedly inspired. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

103) Johann Sebastian Bach - Die Kunst der Fuge In these last years of his life, Bach's creative energy was conserved for the highest flights of musical expression: the Mass in b minor, the Canonic Variations, the Goldberg Variations, and of course the Musical Offering displaying the art of canon. His last great work is the complete summary of all his skill in counterpoint and fugue; methods which he perfected, and beyond which no composer has ever been able to pass. This work is known to us as 'Die Kunst der Fuge' ('The Art of the Fugue', BWV 1080). http://www.baroquemusic.o...sbach.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

104) Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack You can almost smell the urban bustle, hear the endless beat for survival, reflect your shiny rims against the dilapidated hopelessness, yet still be overwhelmed by the unmistakable strength and poise of an unaccounted harmony still swimming in the sorrow of the hustle of a million mistakes both near and far. It was a good movie, with this song anchoring, it had the potential to be one of the grandest masterpieces yet seen. Much later, "Jackie Brown" would fill some of that elusive potential. Major props to those holding up the A-side of the 20th Century. | |

106. Reminiscing ~ Little River Band You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

We must be the only site on the internet where a list could get this far without a single mention of The Beatles...
113) A Day In The Life - The Beatles
NOTE: This video is for the LOVE remix of the song, which I consider to be the best version.

I cant believe Staying Alive and Flashlight are now getting named on this list CLASSICS | |

Tons of classic obvious songs are being overlooked on this thread... It took me at #113 to mention a Beatles song; and still, nobody has mentioned a Marvin Gaye song except the early hit "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"... it's odd.
But I'm enjoying all the stuff I've never heard of.. that's what I like best about this thread. | |
