Nicked this idea from another forum. Contribute a list of 101 tunes you think everyone should hear before they die. Don't include anything already used, if possible. Try to keep to one song per artist if possible.



I had a tough time with the list, because by the time I hit the thread in the other forum, a lot of tunes I would have picked were already mentioned. I tried to keep a broad spectrum of tunes: everything from acid house to sixties anti-Vietnam songs to Kansas is on my list. Some of my choices are dodgy, but I like 'em.



Feel free to give feedback. Yays, nays, alternatives, commendations: it's all welcome.



Cheers!
