Just somewhere to gather ideas about the next topics for our Top 10 listings.
I've got a few ideas, but would love to see others adding theirs also...
Currently I have:
1) Horror songs
2) In sickness and in Death... inspired by Megadeth's The Sick, The Dying and The Dead
3) Geological Nature - Mountains, valleys, cliffs, oceans, lakes and rivers etc.
4) Fauna and Flora - Living nature, animals and plants etc whether real or fictional.
5) The universe... songs outside the erath... so the moon, sun, planets, asteroids, comets, galaxies and constellations!
Of course we have the second part of the "places" list (Streets, Roads, Alleys, Buildings/Venues and such like).
I was thinking about songs of real or fictional people, but I may not have enough!
Your thoughts, your ideas?
-
I was thinking about historical figures...you could get a full top ten using Iced Earth and Iron Maiden and have songs left over! :D
But honestly I don't know if I know enough to do one per band...probably not...but naturally rules can be bent.
Your entire list looks like fun...but I'm not sure I can come up with 10 space songs...maybe...might be fun to try!

WIN
Could also do the best 100 songs about Texas. Or the top 10 songs about bricks and/or thickness. :smug:
-
Great idea - I'll toss in:
using drugs (not a simple mention like "I was stoned" but a song about drug abuse)
depression (oh lord I'm so sad)
joy/happiness (wooo!)
peace
war
For some/all/none of them, whenever the time comes, maybe add some additional rules. Some of these topics will obviously be more difficult than others, so let's say songs about war but instrumental only, that kind of thing.
Just my 2 cents!
-
So when shall we start with the new one and which one will we go first with?
-
I feel like hittin' the streets!
-
Now that Streets and buildings and such has concluded where shall we go next?
-
Anything take your fancy?
-
Horror?
-
Horror?
It's item one on the excellent list, I concur!
-
I'm okay with Horror. I do think I might have to break my one song per band rule for that one though.
-
I'm fine with horror as well.
-
At the moment we have a few offerings...
1) Horror ***COMPLETED***
2) In sickness and in Death... inspired by Megadeth's The Sick, The Dying and The Dead
3) Geological Nature - Mountains, valleys, cliffs, oceans, lakes and rivers etc.
4) Fauna and Flora - Living nature, animals and plants etc whether real or fictional.
5) The universe... songs outside the Earth... so the moon, sun, planets, asteroids, comets, galaxies and constellations! To which I'll add Space ships/stations etc.
6) Historical figures
7) Using Drugs (not a simple mention like "I was stoned" but a song about drug abuse)
8) Depression (oh lord I'm so sad)
9) Joy/Happiness (wooo!)
10) Peace ***COMPLETED***
11) War
I'll add to those
12) Soldiers / Warriors
13) Gadgets / Items / Things
-
Shall we go in order or randomize the list?
-
I ran this python script to generate a random number:
---------------------------------------------
import random
random_integer = random.randint(1, 13)
random_integer
---------------------------------------------
And got back the number 9.
I then ran it three more times, once for each of us that have been participating in these lists:
Charger: 11
Kilo: 4
Z: 10
I then took those and ran the following script to randomly select one of the previous values:
---------------------------------------------
import random
values = [9, 11, 4, 10]
random_value = random.choice(values)
print(random_value)
---------------------------------------------
It came back with 10.
So, I suggest 10, "Peace".
-
Haha! What an excellent (and time consuming) way to carry on...
Sadly I think my list of Peace songs might be rather short...as only one song from a band called Megadeth comes to mind! :lol:
-
I got loads of peace songs and I think some of my choices could prompt other ideas... I'll get it rolling.
-
Another possible pick:
Rowdiness (Drunkeness, anarchy, bad behaviour, partying and such like)
-
Oooh yeah
-
What's next then chappies?
-
Vyn has to do his RNG thing, I believe.
-
I think it should be Chargers choice this time!
What do you fancy buddy?
-
Yeah, let's go w/Charger's pick. I'll keep the random generator for times when no one knows what to pick :)
-
Well alright then!
Lets go with Historical Figures this time around!
-
I thought of another one...Inspired by ZZZ's post on another area..
Favourite TV show themes!
-
Pretty cool idea, I know a few off the top of my head, will have to do some cogitating beyond my record collection for them though!

-
Well, it's up to me to start the next one off, I reckon. :smug:
-
Shall we embark on another list?
Maybe this time we could go outside of our little world and step into the vastness of the outer space?
-
I'm game.
-
So we are looking at suns, moons, planets, black holes galaxies, comets, nebula... aliens?
I'll try not to do too many Hawkwind songs!!!

Just updting the list

Geological Nature - Part 2 Watery stuff - oceans, lakes and rivers etc.
Using Drugs (not a simple mention like "I was stoned" but a song about drug abuse)
Depression (oh lord I'm so sad)
Joy/Happiness (wooo!)
Soldiers / Warriors
Bad People - whether real or fictional
I'll add...
Body parts (no sniggering at the back!)
Songs which were a change for an artist, completely different to their normal stuff!
-
I'll add "songs that reflect on life's choices" - a look back on experiences in the biz, life, stuff like that. Not an immediate recollection like "hey we just signed a big contract!" or "waaah my love just broke up with me" but stuff like "damn those were crazy years" or "never gonna work with THAT management firm again, let me provide a musical litany of charges".
-
Hmm not that many areas that I'm overly familiar with anymore....I would probably really struggle coming up with 10 songs in Joy, depression, Drug use, sickness and most certainly on life choices... Hell I don't think I could even name ONE! :lol:
Soldiers and warriors I could do, Body parts I think I could...I already wasted a Lake song on the previous geological one! :D
-
Oh hey, here's one:
Absolute BANGERS : these are really good loud 'n' fast tunes that we're liking in late 2025. No ranking, just toss 'em out and get metallicized.
