30 Songs to listen to before you die


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Yes, I loooove being a copycat. But anyway, creative copying is to get the idea and move one step forward, right? o.O

Therefore, and hoping that this will be Part Deux of th€ 30 books, behold the list of 30 songs listen before you die. The list can include any song of any language of any time. Only criterion is, of course, to be worth to be included in a list of 30 songs everybody must listen in their lives. So, any nominations can be accepted, hoping the songs are worthy and special.

Then, in the end, when enough of them are collected ("enough" aka "the more the better") 30 of them will be somehow chosen, and I hope that will be together with the 30 books, so both list will be publicated.

2006-07-02 [ally]: Hmms hmms. So where do the nominations go?

2006-07-02 [thuthuca]: Where? o.O Just over there, under the previous ones. Edit freely. :)

2006-07-02 [ally]: Yeah I saw that, but then I had to go and after that was too lazy to edit my comment and let you answer it :P

2006-07-03 [iippo]: I can't think of anything smart to add, they'd all be cliches. :(

2006-07-03 [thuthuca]: Clichés can usually be called "classics" as well :P It's not a list with weird songs. Add your favorites. T3h best of all times <_<

2006-07-04 [ally]: *obeys*

2006-07-04 [thuthuca]: :P I was actually wondering how come didn't iippo add a Hindi one all this time <_<

2006-07-04 [iippo]: Because most of them are too awesome for normal people to listen :P Meh, basically. if you don't bother finding the lyric translation, they don't really impress. But KHNH impresses.

2006-07-04 [thuthuca]: I should watch it sometime. I'm just sure that I will never find it though x_X

2006-07-04 [iippo]: You probably will. It's like... 'the Titanic' of hindi movies.

2006-07-04 [thuthuca]: Well, there is no access to Hindi movies at all here. -_-

2006-07-04 [iippo]: Should be. Indians are everywhere, in every country.

2006-07-04 [thuthuca]: Nu... here there are only Albanians, Russians and some black and chinese. o.O

2006-07-08 [windowframe]: *haunt*

2006-07-10 [thuthuca]: Join, don't just haunt ~~

2006-07-12 [merihevonen]: Shouldn't there only be 30 songs? (Hence the wiki name??) There's 31. >:>

2006-07-12 [iippo]: This is a list of nominations. This list can be as long as possible, and later we all will vote on the 30 best ones out of this list. So add to the list! :D

2006-07-12 [merihevonen]: Ahh. Now I understand. :)  And I have nominated 2.

2006-07-12 [thuthuca]: Pfft... what is number two in the whole eternity? :P More.

2006-07-12 [thuthuca]: I'm surprised iippo hasn't added Sinatra yet. o.O

2006-07-12 [iippo]: Me too. I was thinking it the other day, but couldn't think of one song to add. Or I'm too jealous over my Sinatra and don't want to share it with anyone :P People don't need to listen to him, because he sings for me only :P

2006-07-12 [thuthuca]: :O You greedy! // Don't add just one song, add more if you can't decide :P

2006-07-12 [iippo]: 30 movies - I am t3h unoriginality.

2006-07-12 [thuthuca]: Pfft... Copycat <_<

2006-07-13 [iippo]: Feeeeeeeeeel the Queeeeeeeen! XD

2006-07-14 [thuthuca]: It's a trilogy now at least. ^_^

2006-07-23 [Vampire Akis]: What? Trilogy? yeah, right. I only see the first part....

2006-07-23 [iippo]: I think it means 30 books, 30 songs and 30 movies are the trilogy.

2006-07-23 [Vampire Akis]: ah............ whatever! hehehe! i still like the wiki!!!!!!

2006-07-25 [merihevonen]: [Vampire Akis], there really is no need to yell. You can can make your comments fine even without all those exclamation marks. :)

2006-07-25 [merihevonen]: Hehh, now I've put like half on that list there.... ^^ I hope you like them.

2006-07-26 [iippo]: Todella Kaunis is an awesome song, although generally Zen Cafe is kind of hard for foreigners to like - so monotonous without understanding the lyrics. Also, whee, Kent. :)

2006-07-27 [Vampire Akis]: [merihevonen], Ich will is the only one I know from the rest. Did you put that there?

2006-07-27 [thuthuca]: "2006-07-23 iippo: I think it means 30 books, 30 songs and 30 movies are the trilogy."  It means? T.T Moi not "it".

2006-07-27 [Vampire Akis]: Why don't I understand? Damn..... I'm stonned again......

2006-07-27 [iippo]: It = trilogyness. "What? Trilogy?" "Trilogy means 30 Songs, 30 books, 30 movies" - first rule of quoting Greco: Don't ignore context. :P

2006-07-27 [Vampire Akis]: ok..... I know what he meant. you've explained that to me a few days ago.

2006-07-27 [merihevonen]: Yes, [iippo]. I guess that's true. But I just happen to love that song and decided to just add it, I wanted to put something here that presented Finnish music a bit..  And I love Kent. I can understand about half of the lyrics only since my Swedish is pretty awful. But still it's no problem. Music is a international language, as someone wiser than me said..  : )   and yes, [Vampire Akis], I added Ich will.

2006-07-27 [merihevonen]: I'm a David Bowie fan. Hence so many David Bowie songs. It's been so hard so pick only few... since I love so many. :)

2006-07-27 [Vampire Akis]: What's Kent?

2006-07-27 [merihevonen]: Kent is a great Swedish band! XD I don't know what music genre they are.. Pop rock, I guess. Kind of melancholic rock.   : ) Just so beatiful, amazing music.  You can search their videos from www.youtube.com :D

2006-07-27 [Vampire Akis]: I'm too depressed for that kind of music.... I prefer all kinds of metal..... do you like metal?

2006-07-27 [merihevonen]: yes... of course I do. I am Finnish after all.  : )  And you can't say like that before you've listened to them and found out what kind of music they make.

2006-07-27 [Vampire Akis]: ok then.... gimmie their best song

2006-07-27 [merihevonen]: Oh this a tough one! My choice of song might possibly make you into a Kent fan.. Such pressure... 

2006-07-27 [merihevonen]: Well Gravitation has always had a special spot in my heart... :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFvbuJZRvdU&search=gravatation

2006-07-27 [Vampire Akis]: oh Ima watch the clip tomorrow. Ima download the song now! Thank you!!!!

2006-07-27 [thuthuca]: xD Was going to add The Scientist, then noticed that it was added by [merihevonen] just two songs before. *w00ts for Little Ego*

2006-07-28 [iippo]: Hehe, as Finnish bands being represented goes, Zen Cafe is one of the better choices. And also a "whee" for Bowie. And in England they play the Finlandia as a funeral song! I was so surprised to hear it like that

2006-07-28 [Vampire Akis]: SLIPKNOT FOREVER!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-07-28 [merihevonen]: I'm glad you like my added songs.. :D  Well add your favourite then, [Vampire Akis].

2006-07-28 [Vampire Akis]: I have. 26-29, 34-36 and 75 are mine!

2006-07-31 [merihevonen]: Great. I've put a bit more than that. I got a little exited...

2006-07-31 [Vampire Akis]: Hehehe! i never thought that a wiki would be that loved!

2006-08-01 [merihevonen]: indeed. :)  Check out the other wikis on my page, and the contests. They need voting.

2006-08-02 [Vampire Akis]: and I need you to vote my tattoo in a contest..

2006-08-02 [merihevonen]: There's no such wiki link on your page. *whines*  give it here then.

2006-08-02 [Vampire Akis]: the contest hasn't started yet! Ima inform you all! Don't worry! ^_^

2006-08-02 [merihevonen]: alright :)

2006-09-08 [Vampire Akis]: aha! I LOVE ARCTURUS!

2006-12-08 [Jeesum Crowe]: ...I have more but I decided I was going overboard....

2006-12-09 [Remial]: no such thing as overboard :D

2006-12-15 [Account No Longer Active]: I'm so happy I'm not the only weirdo who loves Genesis/Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush! ^_^

2006-12-15 [windowframe]: :o Weirdo?? To like Genesis, Gabriel and Kate Bush is not weirdness; it's just having taste. :P Anyone interested in the 'reunion' tour Genesis are doing?

2006-12-16 [Draugluin]: o.O I did not know about that. Are you going to go?

2006-12-16 [Jeesum Crowe]: I <3 Peter Gabriel so much...

2006-12-16 [windowframe]: Not a chance. It's without Gabriel and Hackett. There is no point. Although, from the sound of it, Peter Gabriel could be persuaded to do a tour in the future - his rejection was more of a 'no, not right now, time's not right', thana 'no, never.' from what I understand.

2006-12-16 [Account No Longer Active]: I guess weirdo was the wrong word to use. That's just how most people describe the music I listen to.

2006-12-16 [Jeesum Crowe]: People describe the music I listen to as eclectic. Also, good. Heh.

2007-01-25 [kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk]: No tool? It's a travesty!

2007-01-31 [ceridwen]: Wow. Its all modern music. What about the classics? But then again, it is songs and not suites or operas...

2007-01-31 [Jeesum Crowe]: Because those aren't music at all...

2007-01-31 [iippo]: *stuffs a sock in Jeesum's mouth* :P
"Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven" is on the list. And I must point out that this is a wiki, which anybody can edit. Anybody can add, so please do. It reflects Elftown, so if you are a member of Elftown, it will represent you too, so at this stage your opinion matters.

2007-01-31 [Yncke]: What about symphonies? They're not exactly a song, but nominating a movement out of them is like having to nominate one chapter on 30 books...

2007-01-31 [iippo]: If you really think everybody in the entire world should listen to an entire symphony, then nominate it.

2007-02-01 [Jeesum Crowe]: ....That's all the classical music I ever really, really got into, heh...

2007-02-01 [Yncke]: Yes, I think there are some, yes, I only thought that was stretching the term 'song' beyond braking point. :)

2007-02-01 [iippo]: I'd say 'go ahead'. And [thuthuca] can slap me if he thinks I'm wrong, because him slapping me would actually either mean a) that he still exists and wants to talk to me :P or b) that he gets his sorry ass over to England to meet us all. Hmm, I like that idea, lets fund [thuthuca]'s trip to England so he can come slap me! :D

2007-11-16 [Iske]: really love nr 192..... hahahahaha

2008-02-13 [thuthuca]: whoaa... a comment. I can still ...comment. *excited*
Iippo I'm coming to England sometime soon, be prepared.

2008-02-13 [windowframe]: :O Oi! I live in England too! Do you not want to see me, thuthie? T_T

2008-02-15 [iippo]: Hey, I just realised that the discussion "is it a song if it's not actually sung" could be had here! Aaannnddd... go!

2009-03-21 [smakeupfx]: I'm so going to do these :D

2009-03-24 [Lothuriel]: So do we do these the same as 30 Books, or do we wait for more songs to be added to the list?

2009-03-24 [windowframe]: I think this one is still in the nomination phase.

2009-03-24 [Lothuriel]: Hmm, I will have to look through them and add some more if that is how this works. 

2011-02-04 [thuthuca]: Must've been like fifty when I left them.

I obligate my future self to continue to the voting phase.
