Please tell me you’re just homesick in that weird, far away City of the Lion. There’s no other reason for three (not 1 but 3!) Volumia! songs on that otherwise excellent Top 100. 
Oh, and this is my favourite song of all time:
Twelfth Night - The Collector
Coldfire,
Nope. I simply like these three very much - don’t care too much about their other songs, though. 
The Jupiter Symphony (Mozart)
Water Music (Handel)
Brandenburg Concerti (J. S. Bach)
Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven)
Swan Lake (Tchaikovsky)
Rites of Spring (Stravinsky)
Firebird Suite (Stravinsky)
You’re The Top (Cole Porter), as done by Fred Astaire
My Funny Valentine (Rodgers and Hart), as done by Ella Fitzgerald
Embraceable You (Gershwin), as done by Billie Holiday
Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash)
Crazy (Willlie Nelson), as done by Patsy Cline
He Stopped Loving Her Today (George Jones)
I Got You (I Feel Good) (James Brown)
Dancin’ in the Streets (Martha and the Vandellas)
What’s Goin’ On? (Marvin Gaye)
Tear the Roof Off the Mutha (Parliament/Funkadelic)
Rumble (Link Wray)
Won’t Get Fooled Again (The Who)
Last Goodbye (Jeff Buckley)
I meant to ask you this last time you made reference to this epic.
Have you ever noticed the similarities between the lead singers pleads to “mommy” (In the Collector) and Arthur Brown’s (screaming to be let out…please) in Prelude (Pt 2 of the Fire trilogy)?
After about seven minutes of vaguely serious inner-debate, I’d have to say these are my top ten. And now, live and in color, in no particular order whatsoever:
- And Your Bird Can Sing—The Beatles
- Strawberry Fields Forever—The Beatles
- Positively Fourth Street—Bob Dylan
- Shine on You Crazy Diamond—Pink Floyd
- The Final Cut—Pink Floyd
- Brain Damage/Eclipse—Pink Floyd
- Echoes—Pink Floyd
- Elenore—The Turtles
- Crazy—Aerosmith
- Under the Bridge—The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mock them as you will;
This is my second time reading your list, it is quite unique.
I still wish I could find a link to Martin C Strong’s poll in the 2nd edition of his “Great Rock Discography”.
Anyway, I see your 100 and I’ll raise you 5…
