Hard to cap it at 100 Fagan I reckon.

27

Can @Fagan ODowd organise a roster for posters to submit their lists? If this is to work we must have suitable time to critique these lists rather than have everyone coming at once. We need to have a regimental procedure in place.

Exactly, its not fun if its not organised fun.

Great stuff Fagan. I must pick a fight with the wife and free up some time to think about the balbec 100.

31

I’m deadly serious Fagan.

32

In the Terenure Inn at the moment. Live music. Started with Dock of the Bay and now Everybody’s Talkin. Two songs that would feature highly in my top songs of all time.

33

Fucks sake i’m at about 150 here and did not look at the old ipod yet.

34

Some playlist @Fagan ODowd

35

Wonderful stuff

36

I can’t inagine a cretin like you putting anything up for fear of ridicule. You prefer to put down others choices or ride along on a popular train.

Good list @Fagan O Dowd, pretty mixed, got me thinking about listening to a few things I haven’t in a while, I think that’s what this is good for really. Totti’s idea is good too

37

I pledge to give a top 100 soon
@bandage’s top 100 should be a right laugh, if he can complete it. @chewylouie, also won’t find 100 enough woeful tunes to post a list.

I have excellent taste in music. The best taste in music of anyone I’ve ever encountered, BAR NONE. I guess I wouldn’t be one to tweet musicians much so maybe that counts against me in someone like your eyes. My music is for me, its a personal thing of beauty that couldnt be comprehended by the ignorant masses.

There’s quite a few there I don’t know @Fagan ODowd so I look forward to checking them out over the next few days or so.
The Sweet and Gary Glitter, though
I hope they’re in because of beloved teenage memories or something :slight_smile:
