All-time 100 songs!!!!!!

To continue this topic,

我一定要完成這個題目
實在太有趣了
但是為了給新近歌手一個機會 (ha...)
我必須給一個分段的時間
否則這100就會變成我個人的傲慢與偏見版了
(雖然本來就是...... hehehehe....)

在複習了好幾晚的西洋流行音樂之後發現這真是個挑戰,
all time 100必定得從個人喜好出發而絕對不會是該團/該人的代表作
但即使如此,
因為江山代有才人出
R&B很難和Rock同堂排比
往往大時代不同, 對流行音樂欣賞的美感就差很多 ......
還是得定個分界點.

以我個人偏見
有幾個日子讓我感覺西洋流行音樂的世界從此不同
首先當然是1970年初
這年兩個天才殞落, Janis, Jimi, ....1971年的Jim Morrison passed away...
1980年
這年天團Led Zeppelin宣佈解散(12月4日)
因為鼓手John Bonham在九月的酗酒死亡, 讓他們無法再找到任何一個替代者...
同年的12月8日
The Day the Music Died~ John Lennon 又遇刺
讓人感覺音樂世界由彩色變黑白,
西洋音樂的重鎮也從倫敦搬風到了美國.

另一個重要的日子是1982年12月1日,
那時還是黑人的Michael Jackson推出了史上最暢銷專輯 Thriller
(賣出1億4000萬張, 掛在Billboard Top 10榜上整整一年)
1980年代也出現了Madonna, Tina Turna, Phil Collins, Bryan Adams 這些差異性很大的歌手
那幾年我記得在書房的每晚都沉迷於西洋音樂電台, 每週日晚更熬夜聽某個已經停掉的節目,
幾乎荒廢了學業, ...... 真是往事不堪回首.

所以, 該從何時畫下我不熟悉的排行休止符呢?
1985年之後Sting就單飛了, 他是絕對不能排除在我100大之外的......
2000年看來似乎很適合, 也是世紀的分界線,

反正之後我似乎也不太習慣那些穿金戴銀念念有詞的hip-hop曲風了...

那麼, 就從列出我的荒島歌曲清單開始吧...... 想到什麼就列什麼
暫時沒有定版的打算... 所以應該隨時都會增減什麼
這all time 100的完成日, 我會在標題打上一個finished, 以示滿意.
以下歌曲不照排名照字母排列
因為進入100的偉大榜單已經無排名之分
就像Jazz & Rock & Blues are all great,
but,
Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin
當然是排在第一名啦 !
這是普世法則. 相信沒有人反對吧?

ps. 剛剛打賭成功贏走某人的第一名
hahahahahaha....
