Dont you all think we should be saying 20 greatest groups/solo performers. coz each of them seems to have a never ending list.
I just thought I will give you a list of songs. you could pick any one from that selection for that number. to me they are all the same. usually. if it is from the same singer/group.
HOWEVER, the 20 greatest songs being hard to tell, Iam listing what I personally like.
1. ENYA - only time/anywhere is/orinoco flow/ebudae/epona/.
2. THE BEATLES - I wanna hold your hand/ she loves you/ from me to you/ love me do/ eight days a week/ day tripper/ we can work it out.
3. METALLICA - nothing else matters/unforgiven I/II
4. SIMON AND GARFUNKEL - sound of silence/parsely sage rosemary and thyme
5. U2 - with or without you/still have’nt found/pride(in the name of love)/where the streets have no name
6. CRANBERRIES - electric blue/ just my imagination/ ode to my family
7. NIRVANA - the man who sold the world/heart shaped box/come as you are/smells like teen spirit
8. STING - they dance alone/ every breath you take/ fragile/ fields of gold/ desert rose.
9. THE SCORPIONS - wind of change/still loving you
10. PINK FLOYD - another brick in the wall/wish you were here/comfortably numb
11. BILLY JOEL - piano man/ river of dreams/ honesty/ only the good die young/
12. DEF LEPPARD - hysteria/pour some sugar on me
13. QUEEN - bohemian rhapsody/ we will rock you
14. AIR SUPPLY - makin love out of nothing at all/ lost in love
15. RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS - otherside/ californication/ zephyr song/.
16. THE CARPENTERS - top of the world/superstar/close to you
17. THE BEE GEES - tragedy/ stayin alive/ words
18. GEORGE MICHAEL - faith/ fatherfigure/ last Christmas/ careless whispers
19. RICHARD MARX - At the beginning/ right here waiting/ hazard
20. MADONNA - secrets/vogue/you must love me/ la isla bonita/ frozen(ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE VOICES, AND PERHAPS THE MOST WASTED TOO. With her voice she should have been at the top of the list)
WANTED TO ADD ONE MORE. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 15 AND 20.
CHICAGO - inspiration/ look away/ if you leave me now/hard habit to break
there are so many more songs like the Eurythmics’s sweet dreams, and then take my breath away, and nothings gonna change my love and masterpiece and sweet home alabama and gin soaked boy and november rain and hotel california and such others. I’ve just tried to stick with the most consistent. coz you want to stick to a sound when you start making music and you want to stay true to it. AND BE A SUCCESS TOO. thats the only way you get heard.
an exception being hotel california. perhaps also could get in somewhere between 10 and 15.
there are perhaps just two groups out of place here. the carpenters and the red hot chili papers. two that dont fit in. but hey. dont you love their music?
