Interesting. I'd go:

 

Orange Crush

Losing My Religion

The Great Beyond

Man on the Moon

Imitation of Life

 

This was 2000-2009.. LMR and Man on the Moon would obviously be among their all-time top 5. Not so sure about MOTM though, their back catalogue is full of brilliant singles.

I'd go with Manc's list, although the rubbish gay in me would want to swap out Imitation Of Life and replace it with Shiny Happy People (yes really! Michael Stipe will strike me down).

Halfway through! What do you guys think?

Edited by SKOB

Not that I wish to focus on the negative here but Son Of A Gun was terrible, completely massacred a great song.

 

Love the inclusion of Valentine, Destroy Everything You Touch, I Can Only Disappoint U, Evil, The Underdog and You're The Storm though.

I adore Janet and it was so hard to choose because she didn't release a definitive masterpiece. I think the use of You're So Vain is quite clever and Carly Simon has a bigger role on album version.

TOP 20 left!!! Predictions?

TOXIC. Better be in the top 20.
  • Author

It is.

 

I'm going to post the rest with videos one each day and hopefully done by Christmas.

 

Starting with

 

20 | Hercules & Love Affair – Blind (2008)

 

Took your time to decide that it should in your opinion be moved :lol:

In my opinion there's been no issue te last couple of months with it in the pop forum so why move it now? :)

 

Gotta say, earlier was listening to the ole iPod on shuffle... Zero by YYYs came on and I must say everytime I listen to that and Heads Will Roll it always reminds me of how amazing they can sometimes be! :)

 

Interesting also to see that you picked Zero over Heads Will Roll as I thought virtually everyone preferred the latter. :P

 

Some interesting inclusions... I would say I really like at very least 9 in 10 of all the tracks I know there... That said I only think I don't like/love one or two! :D

It's Blitz is indeed fantastic. Heads Will Roll is very close to Zero but I probably chose the latter because it was first single..and stunning one.

 

The list is pretty mainstream but it's about pop and pop usually is mainstream. The best songs of the noughties would be a different story.
