i'd switch up #3 and #4 there not that it makes much of a difference

I think the DDD Jacksons list is fine, except that I'd probably move "Shake Your Body" ahead of "Who's Lovin' You".

I made pipers changes, plus Black Keys.
And I fixed Pixies and PJ Harvey links.
Thanks

Set You Free has to stay in there (for now anyway) because it was actually the first Black Keys song to get any sort of singular recognition and radio airplay.

Lew and Brian: just noticed there's a lyrics page for "We Are Young" by Fun. Like the Ingrid Michaelson et. al pages, i've created a list so there's something to link to

Also included is a list for The Format, the direct successor of Fun.

fun.
1. We Are Young
2. All the Pretty Girls
3. Some Nights
4. Walking the Dog
5. At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used to Be)
6. It Gets Better
7. Be Calm

10. Light A Roman Candle with Me

The Format
1. She Doesn't Get It
2. The Compromise
3. The First Single
4. Dog Problems
5. Give It Up
6. Time Bomb
7. Inches and Falling
8. Tune Out
9. Apeman
10. I'm Actual

I think that we should update the Muse one.

1. Starlight
2. Uprising
3. Supermassive Black Hole
4. Knights of Cydonia
5. Hysteria
6. Exogenesis: Symphony (considered by many reviewers to be the best Muse song ever)
7. Time is Running Out
8. Plug in Baby
9. Stockholm Syndrome
10. Citizen Erased (massive fan favourite)

Yeah, I think this one's really outdated. Otherside is way too high, Californication seems to be the longest lasting song on that album. Me finks:

1. Under The Bridge
2. Californication
3. Give It Away
4. Otherside
5. Dani California
6. Scar Tissue
7. Higher Ground
8. Aeroplane
9. Can't Stop
10. Suck My Kiss

I don't see why By the Way was so represented when it's probably their second most hated album next to Stadium Arcadium.

Okay my earlier Muse list was rather biased so I'll do it neutrally this time

1. Starlight
2. Uprising
3. Supermassive Black Hole
4. Hysteria
5. Knights of Cydonia
6. Time is Running Out
7. Plug in Baby
8. Stockholm Syndrome
9. Citizen Erased
10. Feeling Good


and Radiohead's is...wrong

1. Paranoid Android
2. Creep
3. Karma Police
4. Idioteque
5. Fake Plastic Trees
6. Pyramid Song
7. Just
8. Nude
9. Street Spirit (Fade Out)
10. There There

I would support moving "Karma Police" ahead of "Fake Plastic Trees".

Not sure if these have been done yet...I dont see a main list anywhere.
Not necessarily in exact order, but a general idea...

Elvis Presley:
1. Jailhouse Rock
2. Heartbreak Hotel
3. Hound Dog
4. That's All Right
5. How Great Thou Art
6. Baby Let's Play House
7. Suspicious Minds
8. If I Can Dream
9. Blue Suede Shoes
10. Don't Be Cruel

The Doors:
1. Break On Through
2. Light My Fire
3. The End
4. Love Me Two Times
5. When The Music's Over
6. Roadhouse Blues
7. L.A. Woman
8. Riders On The Storm
9. Hello I Love You
10. 20th Century Fox

The main list, as linked on the first page, is at http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/b ... -1ten.html . Of course we've done Elvis and the Doors.



The actual Elvis list:

1. Jailhouse Rock
2. Hound Dog
3. Don't Be Cruel
4. That's All Right
5. Heartbreak Hotel
6. All Shook Up
7. Can't Help Falling In Love
8. It's Now Or Never
9. Mystery Train
10. Suspicious Minds






The actual Doors list:

1. Light My Fire
2. The End
3. Riders On the Storm
4. Touch Me
5. Break On Through (To the Other Side)
6. People are Strange
7. L.A. Woman
8. Roadhouse Blues
9. Love Me Two Times
10. Hello, I Love You

I'd love to hear you justify placing "Break On Through" over "Light My Fire" on the critieria.

My mistake...I should've figured as much.



First off, I'm actually surprised that Jailhouse made it to #1. Love it.
That being said, how on earth can you justify Don't Be Cruel ahead of Heartbreak Hotel? Popularity is dangerously close, but impact and influence? Come on. Dont Be Cruel has virtually none. Heartbreak Hotel is one of the defining records of early rock. Hell, even Guns 'N Roses used to cover it regularly in their early days. How's that for some broad influence?
Also, I see no need for Cant Help Falling In Love to be there. Sure, everyone knows it, but that alone doesn't make it one of his greatest. Again, practically zero influence and impact.
What about In The Ghetto?



Well I wasn't aware that there was a criteria until just now.
I would say it had more influence than Light My Fire, though LMF obviously takes popularity with ease. As for impact, that can be interpreted in many different ways.....
That generally looks good though.

I think I could agree with switching "Heartbreak Hotel" with "Don't Be Cruel". I think "Can't Help Falling In Love" belongs where it is, though. What influence and impact does "In The Ghetto" have?

Clicking on a random list:

Chicago

1. 25 Or 6 To 4
2. If You Leave Me Now
3. Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
4. I'm A Man
5. Make Me Smile
6. Beginnings
7. Colour My World
8. Look Away
9. You're The Inspiration
10. Hard Habit To Break

I have no idea why the minor-hit cover of "I'm A Man" and the way-past-their-prime "Look Away" are there. Well, "Look Away" did hit number one--but so did "Hard To Say I'm Sorry", and that one has stood the test of time better. How about:

Chicago

1. 25 Or 6 To 4
2. If You Leave Me Now
3. Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
4. Hard To Say I'm Sorry
5. Make Me Smile
6. Beginnings
7. Saturday In The Park
8. You're The Inspiration
9. Feelin' Stronger Every Day
10. Hard Habit To Break

Could make a case for "Old Days" as well. Thoughts?

It's a no-brainer, really.



What significance does it have aside from being really popular?
It's just a typical ballad, and not even one of his best at that.



It had a shitload of commercial impact and is overall one of his most acclaimed songs. I think the reason it sold so well is because the 'protest' vibe of the song coincided brilliantly with the the social mayhem of the late 60's.
Maybe not much influence, but it kills in both kinds of impact (commercial and musical). And obviously popularity.
