Can't help it, I'm fascinated by these kinds of trends.

 

As someone with a science degree, data is the only thing

 

More people should listen to Pink Moon

 

my apple note pad is the only data you need. take that for data.

 

Oops my bad, I meant organized data lol

 

You're gonna give us the only numbers that count. Let me have my fun. Haha

 

i’m annoyingly organized, find a new slant

 

10. Rolling Stones - Rocks Off
9. Wings - Band on the Run
8. Grateful Dead - Uncle John’s Band
7. Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer
6. The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket
5. Fleetwood Mac - Dreams
4. Neil Young - Ambulance Blues
3. Blondie - Heart of Glass
2. Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland
1. Leonard Cohen - Chelsea Hotel #2

HM:

David Crosby - Tamalpais High (At About 3)
Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind
George Harrison/Bob - If Not for You
Paul Simon - Mother and Child Reunion
The Modern Lovers - Roadrunner
Faces - Ooh La La
Pink Floyd - Speak to Me/Breathe
David Bowie - Life On Mars?
Elton John - Crocodile Rock
CCR - Ramble Tamble
Stephen Stills - Love the One You’re With
Television - Marquee Moon
Bob Dylan and The Band - You Ain’t Going Nowhere

This probably shouldn’t count as it didn’t see release until the 80s despite being a blood sessions song, but if it does/did I think “Up to Me” is by far the best 70s Dylan song and probably would have cracked my list around #6.

 

I’m probably gonna kick myself over this order and songs left out as soon as I hit post but was bummed I didn’t get a ballot in for the 60s so here we go!

1. Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
2. Marvin Gaye - What’s Goin On
3. Dolly Parton - Jolene
4. David Bowie - “Heroes”
5. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
6. Billy Joel - Summer, Highland Falls
7. Earth Wind & Fire - September
8. ABBA - Dancing Queen
9. Nick Drake - Pink Moon
10. Boz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle

 

got a coin flip between two fleetwood mac songs for the 10th spot. the chain = heads, dreams - tails.

flip 1: heads - the chain
flip 2: tails - dreams
flip 3: tails - dreams moves on

80s thread will get posted after lunch tomorrow

 

Really happy about a bunch of those songs making it through.

 

no zeppelin, no stones, no sabbath

odd. glad floyd made it through, even though a few much better songs from them were on the outside looking in. and i can't be mad with the GOAT topping the list.

 

Obviously I’m happy my #1 of the decade made it but I’m ecstatic about “Union City Blue” too which I felt very guilty about the possibility of screwing over by leaving it off

 

I feel like zeppelin showed up a lot, just too many different songs. No sabbath isn’t that surprising.

 

it was the second song left off the list so it’s obviously a little surprising lol

 

No fuckin disco?

 

I really struggled with it but the Bee Gees just missed out on my list
