The Bay Area Top 25 Song List
« Reply #15 on: April 28, 2006, 03:50:56 PM »
iPod Music Store made a list, and Aidin Vaziri & Joel Selvin have rebutted it.  I like their list much better (and I smell Joel having a much heavier hand in it than our beloved Aidin).  Both lists follow (or you can check it online along with their article here: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/04/28/DDGI2IFUCJ1.DTL

4. MASTER OF PUPPETS -- Metallica -- Don't have to be online to be on our list

11. AMERICAN IDIOT -- Green Day -- Duh
12. BLACK MAGIC WOMAN/GYPSY QUEEN -- Santana -- The sounds of the Mission District from a band that once mattered
13. SATISFACTION -- The Residents -- Smarty-pants rock deconstructionists, willfully weird, intentionally obscure
14. DOWN TO THE NIGHTCLUB -- Tower of Power -- Keystone Berkeley lives and the lead singer's a killer
15. ROADRUNNER -- Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers -- The hipster's handbook from a faux-naif
16. WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE -- The Tubes -- San Francisco in the '70s
17. WE CARE A LOT -- Faith No More -- "about the food that Live Aid bought"

Bard Kava in the Merc is looking to compile a list of songs that reference San Jose in the lyrics. Besides, you know, THAT one.

I've already reminded him of "Beach Baby".

Check out Anderson Cooper's playlist:



If this is really reflective of him (and not the iPod ad director), his tastes are REALLY in sync with my own.  I mean, frighteningly so.

Have any of you looked at the Google spreadsheet offering?  Its approach to collaborative ss development makes me think we could collectively create quite the archive of lists.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/06/06/BUGD3J8PIV1.DTL

And distant early warning: I'm almost done expanding my 50 Least Favorite Songs of All Time to 100.  Will post when I'm done, along with eventual reposts of my 100 favorites and my Top 100 by Chart Position list.

Curious as to the size of everyone's music collections.  My rough estimates:

~1,300 CDs
~350 cassettes
~50 LPs
~25 45s
~20 8-tracks (but they're at my mom's)
~2,000 digital files (MP3s, etc)

Do you count double CD or CD sets as one or multiple?
