Top 40 Songs of All Time #7

So I don't want to subject anyone - least of all myself - to going through line by line to rank the 40 songs I have in the list so far (bearing in mind we already have a significant number put aside that we know won't make it). So I'll do that song vs. song process we went through in the last post myself and offline, and just publish the results. Perhaps after throwing a few more songs into the mix,

Right, right, right, so this is me sauntering in in March 2020, likely a good 6 months after the last post (above). Yeah, it's all been happening in the meantime and this blog has been one of the many neglected casualties.

Actually, no. This is me sauntering in AUGUST 2020 now, and I am going to publish this damn post today and leave it posted. I just need to put a bit more background into song selection. I am going to post because it needs to be, and I need to move this project on. The end analysis is going to be much different, I can promise you that, but for now, I need progress goddammit!

Echo Beach vs. Galvanise - Galvanise win. EB is a good song, but it's more the nostalgia that gets me when I hear it, not so much the awesomeness of the song itself.
What's Up vs. Echo Beach - WU win. WU is a classic rock song with one of the all-time best choruses. Hard to beat.
WU vs. Galvanise - WU win. WU has more going for it and suits a "hazy" lifestyle such as mine even better really.
WU vs. One Night in Bangkok (Vinyl Shakerz) - WU win. Rock beats house.
WU vs. When I Grow Up - WIGU win. It's been with me for years that song. Those in the know will know why. Frankly probably nobody does, maybe my wife.
Truly, Madly, Deeply vs. Echo Beach - TMD win.
TMD vs. Galvanise - TMD win.
TMD vs. ONIB - ONIB win. Gotta consider my varying tastes.
Invaders Must Die vs. Echo Beach - IMD win. This is an odd choice. IMD is not a great song, but it's infectious and rousing rhythm works on me.
IMD vs. Galvanise - IMD win.
IMD vs. TMD - TMD win. Wow, hard-core electro vs. sentimental, who would have thought.
Oh What A Night vs. Echo Beach. Oh fuck off, who am I kidding, lets go straight to #10.
OWAN vs. ONIB - OWAN win.
OWAN vs. WU - OWAN win.
OWAN vs. WIGU - OWAN win.
OWAN vs. Just A Girl - OWAN win.
OWAN vs. New Sensation - NS win. Sorry, can't beat the INXS classic. Really? At the time, on that night, that was the result. Yet I have skipped NS multiple times on the old iPod in recent months, much less so OWAN. May need a recount.

Time to throw the proverbial cat among those motherfucking pigeons.

Run To Paradise vs. What's Up (yep #10 off the bat) - RTP win.
RTP vs. TALL - RTP win. That's beating the current #5 song.
RTP vs. DAVID - RTP win. Fark.
RTP vs. DYSWIS - DYSWIS win. Finally, the upstart is brought down to Earth!

Do You See What I See is an all-time classic I must admit. But this article is telling me that the notion of an "All Time Top 40" is not going to be an easy one to put together.

Hahaha, it's kind of funny, reading these words, long after they were written, and long after their relevent situation had changed markedly. Wow. But yeah, I still know what I was on about, still resonate with those thoughts, regardless of the level of sobriety or inebriation that may have prompted those words and thoughts at the time.

So here I am in late April 2020, still without music post #7 published. Got to get this done and got to find a better and more productive way of doing this analysis. I don't need to share every moment, just the outcomes, especially considering as we're only aiming for a Top 40. So I am going to post now, and when #8 in this line comes along, there's gonna be a whole lot more in there, without the guff...
