73 Joe stick - With A Little Help From My Friends

that filter is rubbish

my personal faves are
Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
Boomtown Rats - I Dont Like Mondays
Animals - House Of the Rising Sun
Jam - A Town Called Malice

[Bridgie]

the jam - a town called malice is one of my favourite oldies along with t. rex - ride a white swan and get it on

[Sidders]

I think Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the worst songs Queen ever did. I much prefere Under Pressure or Show Must Go On.

[Bridgie]

im dl the video to i want to break free at the moment. its so funny

[jc]

So, that's four Rolling Stones songs, five Abba songs, eight Elvis Presley songs and fourteen Beatles songs. That's 31% of your chart right there. - jc

[clarkey]

I think Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the worst songs Queen ever did. I much prefere Under Pressure or Show Must Go On.

what r u talking about??? bohmian rapsody is a classic song i agree its the best song ever

[Sidders]

It's over played and over rated. (In my opinion.)

[Mr Dion]

no celine dion?? well that chart just cant be trusted!"!

what is it based on?

[kendra k]

the jam's "a town called malice" is hardly an oldie! it's as old as i am!

[Everlast]

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen

Jam - Going Underground

If i had my way these would be top three

[Nablo.]

That sounds like a fair top 3 to me.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

the jam's "a town called malice" is hardly an oldie! it's as old as i am!

is it over 3 years old? yes. Do Radio 1 still think Paul Weller exists? No. its an oldie....

to put in my view the queen song i cant spell at this time of night now annoys me an these lists are always rubbish because fools are allowed to vote.

[Lawrie]

where the hell is Bitter sweet symphony? that song is just amazing and brings to tears even now when i listen to it!...that should be in the top 5!

[Uglybob]

hardly a classic, sure it nicks from the Rolling Stones and its only 5 years old putting it into context.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

yeah but there is always going to be a song that is specific to yourself that no one else even considers. in my top hundred there would be at least 2 oasis b-sides but i wouldnt expect them to be on any top hundred ever listed...

[ASG]

Bohemian Rhapsody is good but it's over played and thus made annoying! Show Must Go On is great!

[Sidders]

Robbie has never done There She Goes has he? I new the La's did it originally and it was covered in 1999 by Sixpence None the Richer but never heard the Robbie version.

[ASG]

You don't know nothing then! He did at Slane for years!
