100 best songs of all times

1. (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay (Redding/Cropper) - Otis Redding, 1967.

Shortly before he died in a plane crash in 1967, Otis Redding had recorded six takes of the melancholy (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay. The slight crack in that sweet young soul voice, the sparse semi-acoustic arrangement, the whistled solo - divine.

2. I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Whitfield/Strong) - Marvin Gaye, 1968.

A terrific arrangement and a stunning vocal performance from Marvin Gaye on this classic tale of betrayal. The ominous organ andgrim, tribal drums are warning enough badnews is afoot.

3. Fall On Me (Mills/Buck/Berry/Stipe) - R.E.M, 1986.

A few years before they became one of the biggest rock bands in the world R.E.M. delivered this supreme piece of jangly, post-Byrds folk-rock. Counter-melodies fromthe angels.

4. Everybody's Talking (Neil) - Harry Nilsson, 1969.

A simple bassline, the tap-tap-tap of a hi-hat cymbal, zippy, finger-picked acoustic guitar, keyboard pads and Harry Nilsson's suitably weather-beaten delivery of Fred Neil's greatest triumph.

5. Take Me To The River (Green/Hodges) - Al Green,1974.

Later covered by Talking Heads, but I'll take the Reverend Al Green's funky, horn-drenched mid-1970s original version any day of the week. Check out the Rev's dedication to his cousin over the opening bars - very, very smooth.

6. That's All Right (Crudup) - Elvis Presley, 1972.

When Elvis first covered this in the 1950s it was a pioneering manoeuvre. By the 1970s he had cranked it up to fifth gear, added blazing horns and gospel vocals and it kicked like an irritated mule.

7. Eleanor Rigby (Lennon/McCartney) - The Beatles, 1966.

Paul McCartney's grim, evocative, two-minute narrative about Eleanor Rigby, a curious, lonely woman who dies sad and alone. The song is brought to life, as it were, by the stark staccato string arrangement.

8. Sympathy For The Devil (Jagger/Richards) - Rolling Stones, 1968.

Driven by Rocky Dijon's congas, Nicky Hopkins's piano and Keef's bassline, this was a cleverly constructed, tightly-coiled piece of late-1960s pop.

9. River Deep Mountain High (Barry/Greenwich/Spector) - Ike and Tina Turner, 1966.

A mega-production from Phil Spector's School Of More. A mini-opera, it swings from finger-clickin' cool to oceans of swelling strings and vocals. All these years later it still sounds incredible.

10. Hurricane (Dylan) - Bob Dylan, 1976.

A devastatingly potent protest song about the imprisonment of boxer Rubin Carter. When Dylan sings "He coulda been the champion of the world", it's truly spine-tingling. Justice, American-style.

11. People Get Ready (Mayfield) - the Impressions, 1965.

12. Matty (Mulhearn) - Christy Moore, 1985.

A poetic Irish drunk heads out into the night and never makes it home. Johnny Mulhearn's tune about Matty is so exquisitely written and touching you'll need Kleenex at hand.

13. Superstition (Wonder) - Stevie Wonder, 1973.

14. Respect (Redding) - Aretha Franklin, 1967.

15. The Boy In The Bubble (Simon/Motloheloa) - Paul Simon, 1986.

16. Positively 4th Street (Dylan) - Bob Dylan, 1965.

17. Papa Was A Rolling Stone (Strong/Whitfield) - the Temptations, 1972.

18. Good Vibrations (Love/Wilson) - the Beach Boys, 1966.

19. Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) (Harley) - Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, 1975.

Steve Harley's only true global hit is a gold radio staple and is still used regularly in film soundtracks. A perfectly formed pop song topped off with a memorable flamenco-tinged nylon string acoustic guitar solo.

20. Feelin' Alright (Mason) - Joe Cocker, 1969.

21. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (John/Taupin) - Elton John, 1973.

22. Everlovin' Man (Lynch/Lovett/Anderson/Humphreys/Clyne) - the Loved Ones, 1966.

23. Last Great American Whale (Reed) - Lou Reed, 1989.

24. Ain't Too Proud To Beg (Holland/Whitfield) - the Temptations, 1966.

25. Stand By Me (Leiber/Stoller/King) - Ben E. King, 1962.

26. Monkey Wrench (Grohl/Foo Fighters) - Foo Fighters, 1996.

Full of crashing power chords and over-the-top pregnant pauses, this is asgood as melodic grunt gets. Thehighlight is when Grohl starts screaming the last verse. Let it out,Dave.

27. Downtown (Hatch) - Petula Clark, 1965.

28. Stuck In The Middle With You (Egan/Rafferty) - Stealer's Wheel, 1973.

29. Back In Black (Young/Young/Johnson) - AC/DC, 1980.

30. Sloop John B (Trad/Wilson) - the Beach Boys, 1966.

33. In The Ghetto (Davis) - Elvis Presley, 1969.

34. Spoonman (Cornell) - Soundgarden, 1994.

35. Big Hat, No Cattle (Newman) - Randy Newman, 1999.

"Since I was a child/I've tried to be what I am not/I've lied, and I've enjoyed it/All my life." So begins Randy Newman's hilarious tune about a loser whose whole life is a lie. All set to a tasty, Floyd Cramer-ish country feel.

36. You Should Be Dancing (Gibb/Gibb/Gibb) - Bee Gees, 1976.

37. Golden Years (Bowie) - David Bowie, 1976.

38. It Was A Very Good Year (Ervin Drake) - Frank Sinatra, 1965.

53. I Got You (I Feel Good) (Brown) - James Brown, 1966.

Ow! Get on the good foot! Get On up! The Father of Funk. The Godfather of Soul. The Hardest Working Man In Show business. General Groove. The dynamic dancing machine. Ow!

54. Love Is In The Air (Vanda/Young) - John Paul Young, 1978.

55. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And If Feel Fine) (Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe) - R.E.M, 1987.

67. Back On The Chain Gang (Hynde) - The Pretenders, 1982.

68. To Her Door (Kelly) - Paul Kelly, 1987.

Over a cruisy walking bassline velvet-suited Johnnie Taylor does the math: "Five little children that you're leaving behind/Son, you're going pay some alimony/Or do some time/It's cheaper to keep her". Finger-clickin', pre-PC gold.

hate

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
its from the movie "10 things i ahte about you"
it repeats hate a lot in the poem but it dosent mean hate

Kat in "10 things i Hate About you"

the F1 saga

Where art thou lady luck ??

Lewis Hamilton is one of the most impressive talents to emerge out of the formula one paddocks in the recent years. And by hiring him in when he was brought in, Ron Dennis again proved that he had amazing eye for talent. All through the past decade he has bet on drivers who on over sight showed amazing talent, I mean just look at the list, Kimi Raikkonen, Mika Hakkinen, Fernando Alonso, Juan Pablo Montoya, to name but a few. They were let down for by the car some time or where overwhelmed by the competition (namely one guy called Michael Schumacher) but they were all good, but the thing about Hamilton is that he just might be the biggest and best driving talent to step into F1 after Senna or Prost. Well, hear me out before you start throwing things at me, and don’t even think about throwing that kitchen sink at me. Michael supporter can go take a hike, he was a good driver but he won most of his races on team strategy, he overtook more times in the pits than on the track. Mika was mediocre, with a great car and team, Juan Pablo was only good at going round and round in circles. Jenson Button, Massa, Davidson, Wurz, webber and every other driver who came on with great fanfare just kindoff failed. Kimi could have come over as a great but he was always outclassed by Schumi. And now that F1 is free of the Schumi-Todt-Brawn Triumvirate he will always live in Shumacher’s shadow.

So again, Awesome talent, Raw temperament and the best car in the field and one of the most exciting F1 seasons in 21 years and still the dominating news was what was going on off the track be it the Alonso – Hamilton competition or the spying scandal. It just kept getting funnier and funnier as the season went on. There is this kid first season in F1 and an Amazing car and he was on the podium every race and all that people could talk about was the spying scandal. He kept walking allover two seasoned veterans namely Kimi Raikkonen and Double world champion Fernando Alonso and all people could think of was the spying scandal. So, so idiot got a little greedy, is that what F1 is about?? No it isn’t over all these past years when Shumi was beating the crap out of every one left right and center we moaned the fact that F1 wasn’t exciting enough, and now that we actually have a really talented bunch of drivers and teams that are capable of giving their drivers good cars day in and day out no body noticed the racing.

I have gone round and round in circles about my bitterness at the way the season ended so now we will talk about the racing highlights of the season.

1. There was one constant through the entire season. That was Lewis Hamilton Amazing consistency, at getting podiums, Alonso’s growing amazement and to some extent jealousy at his teammates exceptional performance and talent, and the way Ferrari and all the other teams where stumped and then fumbled around with the amount of talent on display.

2. Kimi’s amazing comeback in the second half of the season, no doubt due to excellent teamwork and loyalty towards the team from Massa.

3. Kimi again with a donut at the pit lane exit at spa was arrogance personified. May be his move to Ferrari has given him the confidence he needs

4. inspite of the abundance of talent in the top 4 to 5 teams the championship was an open fight the first time in 21 years if i can recall correctly

The low point was the acrmonius dispute between Alonso and Lewis, and the unbelievable spin Lewis had at the Chinese GP neither were McLaren and neither was Lewis naive enough to make such an elementary mistake.

5. so here’s to kimi the new world champion, and here’s to Hamilton saying that he wants to win the championship on the track not by appeal. And I thought racing drivers were and extinct species.

So bring on the 2008 F1 season I say and may the best driver win and perform more burnouts ……………………..
