My Top Ten Songs of All Time
- Ryan Adams - To Be Young (is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)
- Midlake - Roscoe (beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve Remix)
- Massive Attack - Teardrop
- Beth Orton - Stolen Car
- The Cure - Lullaby
- Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
- Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone
- David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
- Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made Of Sand
- Radiohead - Karma Police
I thought I’d put all the clips in one post and see what it sounded like if they were all playing at the same time - the Matt Granfield symphony if you will. It doesn’t sound very good, but the results would be better if record companies would permit embedding of the official clips. Most of them don’t seem to these days. They must think that by forbidding me to share my ten favourite songs with you it will make them more money. Aren’t they clever.
I had to leave some brilliant songs off, and I can’t believe The Rollings Stones or Rage Against the Machine didn’t make the list, but there you go.
Voting opened today in Triple J’s Hottest 100 of All Time poll. What makes it into your top ten?

I’m one of many who are VERY excited about the Triple J Hottest 100 of all time. My biggest problem is coming up with just 10, how did you do it so fast? I have to say tho, Ryan Adams - Wonderwall is a definite player in the mix (even tho Oasis did all the hard work of writing it). I’m just wondering how many of the songs that make it will be from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and how little will come from the modern day trash that gets served up on most radio stations these days(Triple J excluded of course!).

Ah, Ryan Adams, a man with so much talent and so little regard for audiences
I do love him though…
I just used my itunes play count to narrow it down, it was pretty easy!
