Subject: The top 100 songs of all-time
Written By: Walkmanphones100 on 09/08/05 at 11:16 pm
Sony Ericsson are bringing out a new walkman soon and to promote it, they've set up a website www.walkmanphones100.com so the public can vote for their 3 favourite songs. September 22 they will compile the top 100 songs of all-time based on the votes. When you vote for you 3 favourite songs, it shows you the results for those songs. But you can't see the full list until September 22. By trial and error, I figured out what most of the top 10 is as the moment. But I still can't figure out what song is #5 or #9. The top 10 so far is:
#1 Britney Spears: Toxic
#2 Nirvana: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana
#3 The Eagles: Hotel California
#4 Michael Jackson: Billie Jean
#5 dunno
#6 Michael Jackson: Thriller
#7 U2: One
#8 The Beatles: Yesterday
#9 dunno
#10 U2: With Or Without You
As you can see, the #1 is a JOKE!!! The rest of list is allright except maybe Michael Jackson's Thriller. Atleast it's better than Toxic. Can you guys help figure out what #5 and #9 are? And also vote for good songs so the top 10 actually resembles the top 10 songs of all-time.

Must've been those TRL morons who pushed B.S. into the #1 spot ::)
I like the rest, though I don't know what's #5 & #9... and since B.S. is #1, probably more bad songs ::) :P

Prince "1999" and Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" usually chart pretty high in all time best contests, I guess the average voter is a little younger here but have you tried those?

18. Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven
171. Bob Dylan Like a Rolling Stone (should be higher - like in the top 5)
4156. Derek & The Dominoes Layla (should be much higher - like in the top 20)

Stairway usually makes it to the top 10, as with Nirvana's Teen Spirit

I hate Dylan (terrible singer and very overrated) but his song lyrics are pretty good. 8) (if only he could sing...)
P.S. And Metallica usually get pretty high on these lists too

Angel of Death should be higher. It's probably the pre-emminent thrash song there is.
Dylan rots.. he should stick to writing.

I read somewhere that Candle in the Wind by Elton John was the top selling song of all time. ???

I was just playing around with that survey, and I found out that #19 is Hillary Duff's "Come Clean"(GAG!)
My personal top 3 is:
1) Belinda Carlisle- Heaven is a Place on Earth
2) Madonna- Like a Prayer
3) Bush- Glycerine
I'm sure there's a lot of people who'd like to criticize me for that, but anyway...

I totally agree with that!
Britney at number 1? What is the world coming to?
Yeh, 'Candle In The Wind' - the 1997 version is the best selling single of all time. Again, I know it was for Diana - but surely Mr John could have written his good friend her own song instead of re-hashing Ms Jean's! And plus, its bloody awful! I think the top selling record of all time before 1997 was Band Aid's 'Do They Know Its Chrismas'. Now that's a more worthwhile song to be top of that lost, dont u think?

I feel like it's MORE sickening to see the King Of Molestation has 13 songs in there :P
And YES, Dylan SHOULD stick to writing ;)

I voted for Stairway To Heaven....for the memories it holds for me, Dust In The Wind by Kansas as it's not only a very sad song but was one of Blaine's faves along with mine and I finished off with another group who's end came WAY to soon, Alice In Chains with "Would"...not only for the lyrics but Layne's awesome voice :\'(

Just for the sake of it:
Queen - Bohemian rhapsody is currently #12
Britney Spears - ...Baby one more time is currently #99
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the silence is currently #79
I chose these ones not because I particularly like them (except for the third one). I only wanted to find out if any of these was in the top 10 ( considering Toxic is #1, wouldn't it be logic to suggest there's another Britney song in the Top 10 as well..?)
So...still no clue to what may be at #5 or #9... :-\\
But then - Top 10 may have changed completely by now anyway.

You guys could bag on Michael Jackson all you want. I'll be the first to admit that the guy is a freak. But you can't deny his musical talent. The "Thriller" album ranks as one of, if not, the highest selling album ever. Also some of the songs on it are true classics.
The list is the top 100 all-time songs not the top 100 all-time nicest, normal-est, coolest, musicians. The list would be incomplete if MJ didn't have a few entries.

Hate to say it but "Baby One More Time" was Britney;s signature song and was the song that put the whole-teen pop thing on center stage in 1999 and 2000. I am happy to see DMOde's "Enjoy The Silence" on the list. They don;t still don't get the respect of iU2 and Duran Duran and that rock critcic on DModes "Behind The Music" episode on VH-1 said they were trying to sound like Soundgarden or Pearl Jam in the 90's. DMode never gets any respect. Any Phil Collins, or Stone Temple Pilots on the list? STP should be on the list since "Interstate Love Song" was their signature song. I;m not sure if "Interstate Love Song" was even their best song but its the song that people will remember them for when they think about STP. Hillary Duff is on this list? Is Alicia Keys's "Fallin" on this list as well?

It occurs to me that this survey won't be all that accurate, since it allows people to vote as many times as they want. But then, I suppose that's unavoidable with an Internet survey...

I guess we'll have to see what the top 100 looks like when the results come out on September 28.
The #1 song has changed, it is now Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. It's a song that definately deserves to be #1. It shaped the modern pop culture and the video was the first black video to gain regular airplay on MTV. It was a #1 hit worldwide in 1983, everyone was into it. But who wouldn't be? It has a driving bassline (one of the most memorable basslines ever written), mystifying chord progressions, a killer lift to the catchy chorud, great guitar licks etc. It's the best song ever written and to think Michael Jackson wrote it in his head while driving. Funny story, he was imagining the bassline and chords in his head and was so into the song that he didn't notice his car was on fire. Michael wrote the song about a girl who claimed he was the son of one of her twins (lol, how is that supposed to work?)
Great song, great artist (btw RNRF, Michael now has a total of 18 songs in the top 100, not 13). Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer to ever live, no can write like that, no one can sing like that and there definately aint no one who can dance like that. He is the best there ever was and this top 100 proves his mass appeal.

Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" 8)
A classic
It's about their music not their personal lives. :)
Or else I'd throw away my copies of "Risky Business" & "Mission Impossible" since I don't agree with Tom Cruise's beliefs.
