I just finished reading this mediocre murder-mystery. At the beginning of the book, the protagonist was given an ipod from his girlfriend along with a gift certificate for 100 free downloads. He decided, being the methodical person that he was, that he would first compile a list of the 100 greatest rock songs of all time and he sought the help of his friends and his partner in making the list. This made for a very entertaining sub-plot that ran through the entire book, as he added and discarded songs from the list. They'd be in the middle of a shoot-out with some random bad guy, and his partner would say " Otis Redding - Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay....He's gotta be on the list man!" and he would answer "Damn....How could I forget Otis?"
Anyway, this got me thinking about my own "top 100" list and what songs would absolutely, positively, have to be on the list. Here's 5 of them in no particular order.
1. The Rolling Stones........................Honky Tonk Woman
2. The Animals.................................House of the Rising Sun
3. Creedence Clearwater Revival......Down on the Corner
4. Eurythmics....................................Sweet Dreams (are made of this)
5. Blue Rodeo...................................Already Gone
I threw the last one in for Canadian Content.....and to prove that I do like some songs that are less than 20 years old! LOL
So give me some songs that would have to be on your list. Maybe we can learn something about each other, and maybe we can make our own Soulcast top 100.
