Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
Aussie radio station triple m just completed an absorbing countdown of the "most essential" songs in the history of music.
They were asking for a wide range of genres and artists yet most of the songs are standard rock and roll songs from the 70's and onward.
U2 had about 27 entries i think, and about 6 or 7 in the top 100 i think.
Of all songs, Violent femmes shocking piece of music, Blister in the Sun ended up at number one. The countdown was based on the votes from triplem listeners.
Quite a controversial countdown and really, it is just a load of nonsense because Jet's boring derivative are you gonna be my girl came it at number 2. Despite it's flawed interpretation as "the most essential 2005 songs of all time", it's quite interesting to see how the whole thing panned out. Some wierd songs ranked quite high.
One of the problems was how most of the top couple of hundred are modern songs which are still in people's memory, hence they recieved more votes than they would if the countdown was done in several years time.
Still it's worth a look if you are into music rankings and charts.
