La's "There She Goes" was released in 1990.

As I said, it's not my opinion.

 

 

Whose opinion is it then? Unless you can back it up with some evidence, I'm afraid it does look very much like your opinion and your opinion alone. Sorry if this sounds negative but that's how it seems to me.

Whoops, my mistake. Scrub that one then.

It was taken from 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Like I said. You're being very rude.

 

This idea sounds great, there were some classics that never reached number 1 or 2. My rate will still be running as well as this

 

+10 Nirvana 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' This has to win, it is such a classic

+09 R.E.M. 'Loosing My Religion'

+08 Red Hot Chilli Peppers 'Under The Bridge'

+07 The KLF '3am Eternal' This is a good song, but my favourite KLF song is "Doctorin' The Tardis" :lol:

+06 U2 'One'

+05 Guns N Roses 'Live and Let Die'

+04 Tribe Called Quest 'Can I Kick It'

+03 Massive Attack 'Unfinished Sympathy' Havent heard from here on, this gets the most points due to the fact Massive Attack is a lyric from a Tinie Tempah song, Written in the Stars

+02 Primal Scream 'Loaded' This finishes above Metallica because I have heard 'Country Girl' by these people but have never listened to a Metallica song

-01 Metallica 'Enter Sandman'

How on Earth could you have not heard Enter Sandman...? I'd say it's the second most well-known of the ten behind Nirvana :unsure:

you should really listen to Unfinished Sympathy :o a true musical masterpiece

Edited April 6, 201114 yr by chart wizard

I might have heard it without knowing what the song is, but I think I've never heard anything by Metallica. I'm sure R.E.M would be the 2nd most well known after Nirvana

Say your prayers little one

Don't forget my son

To include everyone

I tuck you in

Warm within

Keep you free from sin

'Til the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never never-land

Something's wrong, shut the light

Heavy thoughts tonight

And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war

Dreams of lies

Dreams of dragons fire

And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open

Grippin' your pillow tight

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never never-land

(Whisper)

Now I lay me down to sleep (x2)

Pray the lord my soul to keep (x2)

And if I die before I wake (x2)

Pray the lord my soul to take (x2)

Hush little baby don't say a word

And never mind that noise you heard

It's just the beast under your bed

In your closet in your head

Exit light

Enter night

Grain of sand

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never never-land

We're off to never never-land

Take my hand

We're off to never never-land

Take my hand

We're off to never never-land

We're off to never never-land

 

Surely you've heard this song.

 

Also, I echo the sentiment you MUST listen to Unfinished Sympathy. Easily the best song on the list.

Edited April 6, 201114 yr by Bray

I think the most well known in terms of airplay and polls, influence etc. would be between R.E.M, Massive Attack, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2 and Nirvana, although all really were landmarks in music

Edited April 6, 201114 yr by chart wizard

10|Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy

09|Primal Scream - Loaded

08|KLF - 3am Eternal

07|R.E.M. - Losing My Religion

06|Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under The Bridge

05|Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

04|U2 - One

03|Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It?

02|Metallica - Enter Sandman

01|Guns N Roses - Live And Let Die

 

I think Nirvana is the most influential song ever, let alone in 1991!

The only reason I'm not voting is because I could never decide. There are loads of classics in here.

BTW, thanks for the feedback, I was really worried you'd think I was copying you! :)

From those lyrics I can say I haven't heard the Metallica song. I'm currently listening to the Massive Attack song, I thought they were a rock group but it's more electronic. The song is alright but doesnt sound like a classic or anything amazing, imo.

Well tbh you are copying me but it's alright because its different. I'm currently doing a rate of 90s number 2s and then next 00s number 2s. The only song here that has or will be in my rate is '3AM Eternal', so it's all good. Nirvana 'SLTS' is one of the greatest rock songs of all time yes, I can't believe it only peaked at 7, it's chart run doesnt scream 'CLASSIC'

The top 4 are all :wub:. Everything else is significantly less good, and the bottom 3 I don't care for at all. WTF at the awful Guns N Roses cover. Out of place much.

How on Earth could you have not heard Enter Sandman...? I'd say it's the second most well-known of the ten behind Nirvana :unsure:

Losing My Religion, One and Smells Like Teen Spirit are probably the most popular songs on the list, followed by Enter Sandman. you can hear them from commercial stations more "often" than ES.

I was like that when I first heard it, I learnt to appreciate it over time :D

It was taken from 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Like I said. You're being very rude.

 

 

Thanks. That makes it a lot clearer. If you'd said that at the start, it would have saved us all this. Still very strange to see "Live And Let Die" by G'n'R being treated as a classic. Sweet Child O'Mine - of course. Mr Brownstone - possibly. Live & Let Die - a joke in comparison to the others on the list.

 

Best wishes on getting some meaningful results.

I'm going to say that 'Rocks' will be far more known than 'Enter Sandman' yet you've not heard that! :P

 

Edit: Not sure why I thought 'Rocks' was the Primal Scream song, maybe becase I listened to it earlier! :manson:

WTF is 'Rocks'?

 

If you're talking about the Primal Scream song, I have heard that but that's not the one on the list...

LOL yes, had a brain freeze! :lol:
