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.

2006-12-16 [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2006-12-16 [Account No Longer Active]: I guess weirdo was the wrong word to use.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.
