No’s 57 and 93:clap::clap::clap:
Point of order re no 69, fairly sure Van only performed that live once or twice with Roger Waters. It was featured on the Departed and is superb but the original still far superior imho

@Blake is a serial hipster. :eek:

A strange list that.

Some truly superb calls mixed with songs I couldn’t believe would make anyone’s top 100.

That is more or less the same for all our selections so far.

Some great picks there. @glasagusban will be seething to see the Libertines on it.

Weird list.

From the sublime to Scooby fucking Snacks

a brilliant list by a brilliant poster

well done mate

Didn’t notice that. I’ll have to change my winner rating to a dislike.

Ah sure look, its a mix of songs that either have immense artistic merit or personal meaning that might not necessarily be considered quality by others

[QUOTE=“Blake, post: 922241, member: 1755”]necessarily be considered quality by others[/QUOTE] Hipsters?

:rolleyes:

+1. Great list, pal.
