The Icrontic 100

One of our local radio stations is counting down the top 1019 songs of all time for Labor Day. Many radio stations do a Labor Day countdown as a way to mark the end of summer. I thought we could do the same here. Thus, forthwith, and heretofore, I present to you:

The Icrontic 100

The rules are simple:

- Your favorite 20 songs by 20 different artists. No repeats! Let me clarify. No repeat of the same artist on your own list. It's the Top 100, people have to choose some of the same songs otherwise how am I going to tabulate votes?

- Order is not important.
- Any genre is acceptable.
- A solo recording from an artist who normally records with a band is okay. For example, you can put a Cream song and an Eric Clapton song.
- In the event of a tie, songs will be chosen at random.
- Please email your submissions to me at kwitko (at) gmail (dot) com
- The deadline for entries is Sunday, Sept 13 at 11:59 PM.
- No Britney Spears songs!

That's gonna take me way too long to decide. I'll probably just end up copying the top of my last.fm playlist. Nevermind, I'll probably end up wasting a couple hours I could be using to do something productive. If I had to rank them that would take all day. This is the perfect way to try out my new headset.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
UNKLE - Rabbit in Your Headlights
Eminem - Sing for the Moment
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Weezer - Perfect Situation
Coldplay - The Scientist
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Radiohead - Creep
Hum - Stars
The Pixies - Where is My Mind?
Blink 182 - Adam's Song
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
Staind - It's Been A While
Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
Our Lady Peace - One Man Army
Blur - Song 2
Everclear - Father of Mine
Linkin Park - Crawling
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
Brand New - Jesus Christ

Don't count my list right away. I'll probably edit it a million times over the next 24 hours. I tried to fit a little Moonlight Sonata or Requiem in there but I couldn't find room. Also, I can't stop listening to Genesis by Justice, this is crazy.

PS: Thrax and Leo have the musical taste of 50 year olds. There's no way Point of Know Return is better than Dust in the Wind, go get your ears checked out.

I tried not to make my decisions based on what I thought would ultimately be on the final list. If I had, none of these songs would have been on it...

That's your top 20 songs...what possible point would be to mocking you. It'd be like kicking a dead horse, stealing a blind man's glasses, or cursing out a deaf person behind their back. What I'm saying is, it'd be impossible to cause you any more grief then you cause yourself.

To whomever said my taste was like 50 year-old's....well

...you were very close.
Anyone else count 19 songs on Leo's list?
Reserving No. 20 for what is truly my favorite tune, if I can ever decide.
Leo, this may (or may not) surprise you, but we're music twins. I listen to every group/artist you listed on a regular basis.
I am honored. Wait...you actually listen to Jethro Tull! I thought there were only a handful of us left who know about that group. Fatcat, you are welcomed to run the playlist on any roadtrip with me. Your list is outstanding. Also, your Rolling Stones pick is definitely their best art. That's what I wanted but couldn't remember it.

Update: Kwitko, thanks for a great thread. I went over to Rolling Stone, and started sampling tunes from their Top 100 Guitarists of All Time. (Warning, it's got the silly Rhapsody Player that limits the number songs.)

Update: Ok, I added the 20th to my pics - U2, I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I added my list - edited my previous post, so scroll up and read!

I've almost certain I'm going to have the most obscure list here. Which means most of my tunes probably won't see the final 100.

Now, critiques:

Leo and Thrax, I second that statement. I believe when it comes to classic rock, you guys are right in line with my tastes.

Poofie - Move to Bremerton by MxPx?!?!?! YESSSSS! I thought I was the only MxPx rocker in these parts. Excellent!

Lincoln - Song no one's heard of? Kingpin and I used to sing that song all day long in Jr. High. Loved it. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Kryyst - good picks. Nice to see some metal.

Shwaip - Fleet Foxes, well done, I approve.

This thread is awesome. I'm glad I sat down and picked a top twenty.

I frigging love music.

Dear Icrontians:

Lynx, major props to you for listing Sunset Rubdown, Wolf Parade, and Handsome Furs (though I'll be listing them as well).

Obsidian, bonus points for "Where Is My Mind?" by the Pixies. Carry on, dear sir.

CB, I was rocking out to Commissioning a Symphony in C just today. Good job, GO!

Schwaip, I'll share my music with you if you give me yours. Once again, +10 Imperial Credits for Cake, Fleet Foxes, Elliot Smith, and especially Paul Simon (especially, especially that song).

Poofie, from my heart to yours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd34vJohGXc
I was also rocking out to Short Skirt, Long Jacket today.

Grimnoc, great picks. Frigging glad you put up New Slang, I couldn't fit it on my list, but I really really wanted to.

Some of your picks countered my own, so I picked different songs knowing you'd pick the ones you did (hearts of Iron, I'll believe in anything) in hopes some of these bands will make the final list.

Also, F-yeah Unicorns.

Violent Femmes - I HAD TO AMEND "kiss off" to be "add it up" because someone actually claimed one of my songs
I almost picked "Please Do Not Go" purely for its lyrical value which makes makes me laugh every single time I hear it, but I had to go with "Kiss Off," so sorry. "Add It Up" was the next one in line for me.

I'm telling you man, it's all about old Modest Mouse. It really was a flat-out impossibility to pick one song from them, though I knew it was going to be an old song, so I just ending up picking "Dramamine" quickly because I knew I would equivocate forever if I didn't. But seriously, with Isaac Brock throwing out lines like "We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves," who couldn't pick it?

By the way, "Cowboy Dan" is Nick's favorite Modest Mouse song.

"Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
He goes to the desert, fires his rifle in the sky
And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die"

*Cowboy Dan is one mean son of a you-know-what.

By the way, "Cowboy Dan" is Nick's favorite Modest Mouse song.
.
Yeah, we talked a bit about that song when I was up there two weeks ago. I frigging love lonesome crowded west, and Cowboy Dan. I really wanted to put it on my twenty, but honestly I didn't really pick up and listen to that album until about 6 months ago (despite you giving me the album a year ago). But yes, old modest mouse, unbeatable.

SnowWhite - some classic picks there. Takes me back to my punk days. I was expecting some Pennywise though

Time to break the mold and list something outside the general umbrella that is rock
Hey, I was this close to throwing in some Nightwish, glad you did it for me.

Plus, I think I'm the only one that's thrown in some post rock and avant-guarde in my list.

Kwitko - Can you tell me when you download my songs? I need to pull it from my dropbox and upload a larger file for another friend.

You're allowed to pick the same song as someone else, you can't pick the same artist twice on your list. In fact, your list can be 100% the same as someone else's.

Thanks for the tunes. You know a text list would have been fine too. Downloading right now.

Yeah, you really should set it up so that the forum puts my username next to any posts that I make.
