You can’t even spell your own alias correctly. Ffs.

No pal. That’s the correct spelling of my name but Rocko’s software at the time couldn’t reconcile the spaces and the apostrophes. Don’t let it trouble you.

Super thread.

:clap:

Are these in order of preference @Fagan ODowd or are they just your 100 favourite songs in no particular order?

It seems like the former but just thought I would check.

This has potential to actually be interesting. :clap:

At this point farmer it is in order of preference but say once I go beyond 40 it will be difficult to differentiate.

James Brown at 1 and 2.

Interesting.

A very astute observation. It would have taken the rest of us a while to spot that complex pattern.

Farmer, I can still remember how I felt the first time I heard James Brown. Blown away. I had never heard anything like it before.

10

You seem like a big softie at the end of the day, Fag.

God Only Knows, Something, Waterloo Sunset, Young Hearts…

The missus has gone out and won’t be back till 9pm so I might do mine to pass the time after the FA Cup game on telly.

Another self clamping by @Appendage here, his overanxious edgy posting style has really backfired in recent times

This would make a nice weekly feature if posters (on rotation) gave us their top 100 songs.

14

Well spotted Rudi. That was kind of the point of it. Rather than pick holes in the NME or VH 1 lists we could rip the shit out of each other.

15

Gary Glitter.

16

Yes I love that song. Have moral qualms about paying royalties to hear it though.

17

:clap:Some fantastic tunes there @Fagan ODowd

18

:rolleyes:

19

There are. Some.

20

Great start but the second 20 got a bit ropey. Look forward to the next instalment. Fair play to Fagan for putting in this effort. Do we have a favourite albums thread?
