Eargasm -- I like that! You just made that up now? Yeah, I used to make fun of Barry Manilow when I was younger, but that still is a good song. And I'll say it proudly -- so is "Ice, Ice, Baby", which will be in the V-List!
Music: The M-List
Sort:
The thing is that Vanilla Ice was so popular, and then all of a sudden fell from grace. Give me a break. A song is good or bad, and its goodness or badness does not vary with the popularity of the artist. If it was a good song before, then it is still a good song now.
Maybe that one song, what the hell is it called again? Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly, packed his suitcase, kissed his kids good bye, waited his whole damned life just to take that flight, and as the plane crashed down he thought well isn't this nice.
Yeah, that was it. Other than that, I am not a huge fan. As for this M-List, my vote will be for "Pyramid of Cheops", but it could just as easily go to "The Four Horsemen", "Space Lord", and "Scare Crow". All amazing songs!
Men at Work, Overkill
Yeah, I figured you'd go for the Australian band!

I wrote this whole thing and it disappeared.
I'm just going to say that McCartney has "Maybe I'm Amazed." One of the best songs ever. Metallica gets my vote for years of great songs. I think they get better with every album. I don't really like anything before Ride the Lightning. My favorites are "No Leaf Clover" and "The Memory Remains." I like Mellancamp "Paper and Fire." I think that Dave Mason must be on the list with "We Just Disagree." This is also one of the best songs ever.
To those who are interested one of my favorite bands is Mansun. They are kind of a cross between Tears for Fears and Radiohead! Here is one of their many great songs. "Take it Easy Chicken!"

OMG!
What a FAB list...So many excellent songs. Shawn Mullins Lullaby is one of my all time faves, I really can't understand why it wasn't a bigger hit here. As for Bette Middlers Wind Beneath My Wings, call me a girl... but I can't listen to it without choking up. I would be more inclined to go with Rain or La Isla Bonita from Madonna, don't get me wrong Borderline is good, just not my personal fave.
How is there no Mr. Bungle on this list!?!?! "none of they knew they were robots" "desert search for techno allah" and frankly, the chorus bassline to "dead goon" is one of the greatest basslines ever written. oh, and not to nitpick, but she spells it aimee mann
I'll have to check those out -- not familiar with them!
Miles Davis
That would fall under D, although I am afraid that I am not familiar with him.
It's interesting the combination, and the balance. I like it, and I guess your personality has a lot of this dual. I like Manilow..."Even now" I went to his concert here in miami this year, and "still can heart so bad". But I also like U2, Ph. Collins, Pink Floyd, and chess
Yeah, sort of Yin & Yang, left brain right brain, or in my case sometimes NO brain! Gracias for weighing in! Have a great 2009!
Thank you, but actually I meant artists beginining with M, not song titles. And I wasn't going for completeness, but rather for what I thought was best.
No problem! Back in the ancient days there was also an A List, a B List, and every other list up to and including M, but then the feedback stopped so the lists stopped at M. This recent flurry of activity makes me wonder if I should resurrect it.
I don't like her so much!
Well, at least I know Freddie Mercury! But then that would be Q, right?
