Kev's very self-indulgent "my taste in music is better than yours" top 100

Culture
1

Decided to do this in 25 song blocks. And it’s more about what I liked then from memory as opposed to just now. I also decided to more or less leave out house music as much of it are more “tracks” than songs. And I don’t know the actual artists of half the stuff I like.

25 of each;
Early childhood years
Teenage years
20’s
30’s plus everything else.

This is first 25

T-Rex - Children of the Revolution
Michael Jackson - Rock with you
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Cry before Dawn - gone forever
Guns N’ Roses - Rocket Queen
Guns N’ Roses - Patience
Abba - The winner takes it all
Luke Kelly - The Button Pusher
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Scott McKenzie - Are You Going to San Francisco
Neil Young - Harvest Moon
Bruce Springsteen - I’m on Fire
Thin Lizzy - Dancing in the Moonlight
Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar
Freda Payne - Band of Gold
Johnny Cash - Boy named Sue
David Bowie - ashes to ashes
Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys (I know, but at the time it was important)
Dire straits - Walk of life
Simon & Garfunkle - Sound of Silence
Skid Row - 18 & Life
Midnight Oil - Beds are Burning
Luke Kelly - The Auld Triangle
RHCP - Under the bridge

Ah jaysus what shite.

3

What are you talking about? All but two of those are brilliant songs.

Was just thinking I’m going to have to redo mine, some shocking omissions.

4

I was zero to about 12. What do you expect? As it happens I still like most of it a lot.

5

Kev will be very disappointed to know that we share a similar taste in music…
