Hmmm...I don't know of as many obscure bands as other people, so it should look recognizable:

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! Last edited by Crowe; 07-06-2008 at 10:45 AM. |

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.
