Triple Ms Top 1000

[legend]

I'll throw in Flame Trees by the Chisels and Eagle Rock by Daddy Cool.

 

[imported_bronco]

Moff I would probably add Hotel California by the Eagle to that top 20 and I think legend may be right that Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynard could very well be in there.
Though looking at the top 980 songs there will definetly be a few odd ones in the top 20 as I see your preparing for with How you remind me by Nickleback on there moffo.

 

[legend]

This is my list:

1.Voodoo Child - Jimmy Hendrix
2.Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
3.Rock and Roll all nite - KISS
4.Alive - Pearl Jam
5.You shook me all night long AC/DC
6.Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 - Pink Floyd
7.Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
8.Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit 9.Metallica - Unforgiven

In no particular order...

Black Knight - Deep Purple
Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 - Pink Floyd
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Voodoo Chile - Jimmy Hendrix
Alive - Pearl Jam
You shook me all night long - AC/DC
Light my Fire - Doors
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf
Cheap Wine - Cold Chisel
Don't stand so close to me - Police
Walk this Way - Aerosmith/Run DMC
Sweet Child of Mine - Guns 'n' Roses
Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers






It's my life - Bon Jovi
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Time of your Life - Green Day (good call, it's a year 12 farewell anthem)
Self Esteem - Offspring (apparently it's good lol. G/F again)
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Flame Trees is already there at #140.
Rock and Roll All Night already there at #454

I don't think they'll put Lynyrd in, even though they should and they better NOT put No Doubt in.

 

[legend]

This is another one from left field but would "American Pie" by Don McLean rate a mention or even Phil Collin's "In the air tonight"?

 

[Willow]

Phil Collins... oh god... this is a living hell.

 

[Cronulla_Mania]

You would think so, but i put American Pie, In the Air Tonightin the same category as Hotel California, i don't think Triple M would play it (although i could be wrong). Are they rock songs?? Hmmm...are 1/2 the songs in there rock songs?? lol Im even a bit iffy about including Hurricane, i cant recall Triple M playing that song much.

...Soooooo....Rock and Roll all nite by Kiss is out. OK then, well im going to list 20 now (in order). Not how i would order them, but how triple m will

1. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
2. Alive - Pearl Jam
3. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 - Pink Floyd
4. Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana
5. Nothine Else Matters - Metallica
6. Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
7. Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
8. You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
9.Time of Your Life - Greenday
10. Black - Pearl Jam
11. Self Esteem - Offspring
12. Unforgiven - Metallica
13. Hurricane - Bob Dylan
14. Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
15. Cheap Wine - Cold Chisel
16. Hurricane - Bob Dylan
17. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynard Skynard

Sorry to sound so ungracious but this thread has given me 47 more reasons why I will never listen to MMM...

 

[imported_E_A__]

lol Willow.

Goddam it NO Genesis!!!May as well have some Elty or Culture Club.

Stairway is never number one, it's usually a Pearl Jam song. It should be number one though, if ever there was a rock song everyone knows, it's Stairway.

 

[El Duque]

No Billy Ocean???

 

[Willow]

"...if ever there was a rock song everyone knows, it's Stairway"
You may know that Rolf Harris did a cover version of Stairway to Heaven for an Andrew Denton sketch on the ABC... and it became a top 40 hit in Australia and the UK.

Rolf later confessed in an interview that it had never heard of the song before.
So thats one guy who knows his rock....lol

 

[El Duque]

Didn't Rolf also do Bohemian Rhapsody?

 

[Willow]

Yeah, I think so. He's come a long way since Two Little Boys and Jake the Peg... which btw should be on the MMM list as well.

 

[El Duque]

As should Kevin Bloody Wilson.

 

[Willow]

Ah yes.. another Aussie who did well in the old dart.
Frank Ifield started it all... probably a little before your time but I Remember You is a definite candidate for the MMM top 1000.

 

[ozbash]

frank ifield,,, now we,re talking

burl ives
gene pitney
jim reeves..................those were the days i tell you. they were !!

 

[Willow]

You're forgetting the Big O
lol

 

[Hass]

The way to do this is to nominate songs that we think should be in the top 20 and slowly but surely eliminate the ones that have already been played. At this point can I add that "Walk This Way" was played way back at No.# 885.

I believe I've got the nouse to work out how this countdown is going to end. You've got to remember two things. Firstly, what songs usually end up towards the top of these countdowns Triple M have! And secondly, you need to remember that the countdown is compiled after looking at voting that has taken place via fax, phone and the internet- remember that idiots are also allowed to vote!

So I'll just do a little bit of investgating before providing the first of my summations...

Cheers.

 

[Hass]

The latest casualty from Moffo's list...

The Unforgiven 1 & 2 have both already been played.

 

[Hass]

Firstly, Smells Like Teen Spirit will be Number 1 for this countdown. It is always right near the top of these countdowns on Triple M and with the release of the Nirvana Greatest Hits Album they have been in the forefront of people's minds- people who cast votes.

.After slowly wading through the songs in the list a number of times, I can state with 100% certainty that the following songs are ones which are not on the list. They are also songs that are almost dead-certs to be in the Top 20. As I confirm with 100% accuracy more songs that aren't on the list I'll be able to add to what we have here.

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Alive - Pearl Jam
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zepplin
Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) - Pink Floyd
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day
Come As You Are - Nirvana
Hotel California - The Eagles
Bat Out of Hell - Meatloaf

Hotel California and Bat out of Hell seem to be part of the staple classics that are always a part of these Triple M countdowns. They appear in every countdown along with the likes of Another Brick in The Wall and Stairway to Heaven. More importantly, neither have been played.

That leaves us with 10 that I am 100% certain will be in the Top 20. We just need to find the other 10. I'd do it now but I really should be going to bed!

Cheers.
