Spotify playlist here. Does not include AC/DC since they're not on Spotify, and the two Floyd tracks are from a Waters live show and the Waters-less 1990 Knebworth show.
― C-3PO Sharkey (Phil D.), Thursday, 1 November 2012 15:50 (eleven years ago) link
As much as I love about 28 of these, it has to be "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough".
The acclaimedmusic guy must apply the hell out of a personal weighting of included polls, as this list (as most of those at acclaimedmusic) is way better (closer to my own taste) than any contemporaneous one.

cure song just seems a bit small in ambition to me i guess.. most of the rest of the tunes in the top ten feel like they couldve blown up the world.

so i'm listening to this and the thing that strikes me most is how different Joy Division sound compared to the rest. i really feels monumental compared to the pop sound that was going around at the time.
― Bee OK, Friday, 2 November 2012 01:14 (eleven years ago) link
oh man The Specials "Gangsters" is so good, i forgot all about that song until i heard it right now.
― Bee OK, Friday, 2 November 2012 01:24 (eleven years ago) link
this is the first time i have ever heard Squeeze "Up the Junction" it is OK.
― Bee OK, Friday, 2 November 2012 02:11 (eleven years ago) link
man, i forgot "Atomic" was "Atomic". i re-bought Eat to the Beat a couple of years back but resold it, because it was limited and got major cash for it, without even opening it. had that album on vinyl back in the day.

OK, true story, last month I went to see the Corin Tucker Band, and late in their set I told a friend I was with that their drummer, Sara Lund, reminded me a lot of Clem Burke in her beats and the way she approached songs. Then the set ended and they came out for a one-song encore and it was Blondie's "Atomic" and I lost my mind. The end.

sticking with my first choice and voting "Cruisin'." though when i listened to all these tracks i sure was blown away by a bunch of them.

Seeing all those songs listed in one place brought tears to my eyes. How could so much intensely beautiful music have been created in one year? And each song reminds me of many others that could have made it to the list. 1979 was just better.

I can't believe it was #4 on the original list. It's good, but I never thought it was that exciting compared to everything else that's here. It just sounds very normal.

― they say they gon' mod me, see me never do shit (some dude), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 09:48 (eleven years ago) link
I think that I only didn't give my vote to Brass In Pocket because I've already voted for it in numerous other recent polls here.
