A few weeks ago, I got done with a "Top 150 Songs" list, and this is what I've been wondering.
Obviously, there are "one-trick albums", where there's just one amazing single, and the rest is junk. But if the artist was able to make one amazing song, how can they make so much bad stuff at the same time?
On my list, the highest song from an album not on my BEA chart is "Stairway to Heaven" at #17. From then on, only about a third of the songs on there are like that. Does that make sense?
Suspended In Gaffa is the most beautiful song ever. Coupled with a great album that got pushed to number 1.
Cloudbusting is the second most beautiful song ever. Coupled with the ninth wave it finds it hard to make the top 50 albums on my chart, getting in with the greatest hits instead (when I let greatest hits in)
I tried coming up with a "Top 100" songs list a year or two ago, too (couldn't finish). But yes, there's plenty of songs I think deserve to be on a top 100 list where I wouldn't touch the entire album. The Bangles "Eternal Flame" comes readily to mind as a song I'd consider as a top 100 song (not a guarantee, I never finished the list) but I certainly wouldn't want the whole album, nor would I ever consider it for Top 100 status, let alone Top 50.
Stairway to Heaven was also a good example, as is Dust In the Wind by Kansas. _________________ <(: @ :)>
