I didn't choose exclusively from among my all time favorite artists (too difficult). I just picked a handful of songs by bands/singers I listen to.

Cat Stevens -- The Wind
The Beatles -- Nowhere Man
Belle and Sebastian -- Dress Up in You (couldn't settle on a clear choice)
The Who -- A Quick One While He's Away (preferably live version from Rolling Stones' Rock n Roll Circus)
The Cure -- Just Like Heaven
The Cars -- Drive
Rush -- Spirit of Radio
Rush -- Limelight
Linda Ronstadt -- Willin' (written by Lowell George)
Mekons -- Ghosts of American Astronauts

Daaamn what's the average age here, 30-50? Almost everything mentioned is pre-90s.

 

[Ares]

Damn that's a tough question. I mean I listen to a loooot of music. So maybe I'll answer what I feel right now... 'cause my favorites are not going to be set in stone.

(in no particular order)

1. Queen - The Show Must Go On. Not easy for me to choose a favorite Queen song but this is the one that really cheers me up no matter what so gotta go with the timeless classic. The message behind the lyrics is so powerful.

2. Frank Sinatra - Strangers In the Night. This was easier to choose. I also like I'll Be Home For Christmas by Sinatra but only ever listen to it in December.

3. Eminem - Mockingbird. Eminem has so many great tracks to choose from but I'll always have a soft spot for Mockingbird in my heart for personal reasons.

4. Linkin Park - Figure.09. Hybrid Theory was one of the few albums I had as a kid. I always listened it from start to finish so even though it's my favorite Linkin Park album it's too hard for me to separate those tracks from each other to say which one I like the best. So that's why I'll just go with Figure.

5. Machine Gun Kelly - Halo. The music video for this is great too. Saying this as someone who usually doesn't like to watch music videos in general (they distract from the music too often). Kelly is the rare exception with some good one's.

Okay after this it gets too difficult for me. There are LOTS of music I like but I'd say those 5 are actual favorites. I'll have to think about the last 5 some other time.

Personally, I think it's kind of a shame that people are expected to gravitate towards certain eras of music due to their age. I grew up listening to music in the 2000s and all of my favorite stuff is pre-90s. In a perfect world, there would be no connection between the two, IMO.

 

[Don Cherry]

I'm 50+ and I guess my list looks kind of 80s. This is a good thread and I'm surprised there's not more posts.

Music follows trends, but the best remains ageless. How much music from the 2,000's and on do you hear on the radio, or will be remembered 20-30 years from now? Not much as opposed to classic rock, but if I hear another AC/DC tune, it'll be too soon.

 

[Shareefruck]

Waitaminute, is no one going to comment on the fact that Wrigley added the 9+ singers rule just because he personally couldn't choose between two Chuck Berry songs?

Works out for me, I guess, as my 10th artist's song looked out of place.

1. Krautrock by Faust
2. Hallogallo by Neu!
3. Venus in Furs by The Velvet Underground
4. Jupiter by John Coltrane
5. Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles
6. Sister Ray by The Velvet Underground
7. Lonely Woman by Ornette Coleman
8. Desolation Row by Bob Dylan
9. Pinch by Can
10. Doctor Dark by Captain Beefheart

Looks like the entirety of my top ten spans from 1959 - 1973.

I'm sure it will still be played on the radio in 20-30 years, as kids will be nostalgic for it when they grow up (hell, plenty of sh*tty pop songs from twenty years ago still get tons of radio play today), but otherwise, but I agree with the sentiment.

Total agreement. Good post. Re-did my list. People Get Ready and Be My Baby are the top 2.
