Wait, wait...this might be tricky since the top 100 (at least the last 14) hasn't been nailed down yet.

That said some sort of love it/hate it article or blog format is a good idea, and some of these records could well show up there.
(I don't think Maura was hatin' - just pointing out that 190 new answers is proof that list-making 'works'. I can't remember any Article Response thread getting this much.)

A list is meant to encourage debate otherwise what's the point and this one has certainly done that.

62. the heights, ?how do you talk to an angel?
I have never heard this but the title is hilarious. Please tell me this is some sort of post-Soul Asylum/proto-Nickelback doing their Big Sensitive Ballad.

I'd like to think there's a direct correlation between their placing on this list and the Rednex putting themselves up for sale on Ebay.

Also Scatman John = voice of Blurr in Transformers the Movie. Virtually everyone in that film is dead now.

This is about 25% stuff I still haven't heard, 25% stuff I like now and 50% stuff I still hate. I was complaining about "I Feel You" by Depeche Mode just the other day. "Yes dear" said the wife as she changed my bedpan.

In 1999, he released his third and final album as Scatman John, Take Your Time. It was later revealed that he had been battling ill health since late 1998. He continued work on the album despite being told to take it easy from his substantial workload. He was later diagnosed with lung cancer and soon went into intensive treatment. He maintained a positive attitude throughout, declaring that "whatever God wants is fine by me... I've had the very best life. I have tasted beauty." He died in his Los Angeles home on December 3, 1999.
In a 1996 interview, he commented that "I hope that the kids, while they sing along to my songs or dance to it, feel that life is not that bad at all. Even for just a minute."

that's a popular myth re Scatman John and Blurr, Matt, but it's not actually true.
