Siouxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence
Patti Smith - Gloria
The Kinks - Lola
The Hollies - Carrie-Ann
Belle & Sebastian - Mary Jo
Ladysmith Black Mambazo - This Lady is Beautiful

Michael Buble - Me and Mrs. Jones
Tom Waits - Muriel
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Lucy
Jens Lekman - Julie RMX
Okkervil River - Savannah Smiles
Beethoven - Ave Maria

Man I could make this mix like 30 songs longer if I had my druthers. But I liked the way that these songs flowed together. I think this list has a good representation of a lot of the stuff I like... certainly not everything. I'll put a link up shortly.

Er... someone wanna help me
No Layla??? Blasphemy!

Hmmm...I don't know of as many obscure bands as other people, so it should look recognizable:
  1. Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up
  2. Queens of the Stone Age - Long Slow Goodbye
  3. Velvet Underground & Nico - All Tomorrow's Parties
  4. Tool - Parabola
  5. Pink Floyd - Childhood's End
  6. The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues
  7. Otis Redding - That's How Strong My Love Is
  8. Elliott Smith - Bled White
  9. Miles Davis - Bye Bye Blackbird
  10. Johnny Cash - Further On Up The Road
  11. David Bowie - Sons Of The Silent Age
  12. Earthbound - Phuturistic Journey
  13. Metallica - Orion
  14. Led Zeppelin - Since Ive Been Loving You
  15. Public Enemy - Fight The Power
  16. Nobuo Uematsu - Aeris' Theme (orchestral)

I told you! It coulda gone on FOREEVVER - trust me I had Layla in the final 20, but the playlist could only be 16 songs looong... and I like the way that these ones flow together! I immediately regret this decision !!! Another Clapton song with a chick in the title when he was with the Byrds was Hang On Sloopy... I wanted that in there too --- oh the travesty ;(

Good list and all, but really? over the Them version or Morrison Live in 1973?

Absolutely JJJ, yes. Let me explain why.

1) Patti Smith gets very, very little attention around these MB parts whereas we get Morrison GUSSSHHING in every top <insert name here> thread. We have a whole thread dedicated to his works. Now, I like Van Morrison and all, in fact I like him and his body of work A LOT... but it's nice to have a little change of pace.

2) THIS Gloria opens up one of my top 50 favorite albums "Horses", and in my opinion has superior lyrical content. The opening line "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" coming out of Patti Smith is chilling.

3) Number 3 being said. It's barely the same song. It only keeps the chorus of the Them original. It was much more directed towards the punk movement which Horses is considered to be a forerunner.

4) THAT being said. Notice its place on my playlist - which has just as much to do about composition rather than stuffing all of my favorite "woman themed" songs into 16 tracks. The goal here is to show a nice selection of different sounds if I remember correctly. Right after Patti's Gloria, I have the Kinks' "Lola", another English group from the same time period. I can make another whole playlist with Popular English groups from 1960-1965 with the same theme...

5) And finally. I think that Them's Gloria is boring. ESPECIALLY the live 1973 version.

I'm surprised that I was called out to defend my Patti Smith Gloria rather than my Siouxsie and the Banshees' Dear Prudence. Don't "good list and all" me either. This isn't about the textual LIST of the songs, it's about the sound as a cohesive mix... give it a listen and then we can talk lists, eh?

Love, Crowe!

I think those versions of both those songs are better than the originals myself.

I know you aren't much of a Beatles fan, based off of the blurb you wrote for Revolver in your top 100. Speaking of which, your grandaddy thread has inspired me to do my own 100 (aptly, The Crowe 100) your presence in the thread would be much appreciated - due to the fact that it's an homage to your original.
