Top 10 Songs by Popular Rock Artists (Revision Version)

[Fido]

What about Lady Writer vs Calling Elvis?

[Fido]

So, how about this for Dire Straits?

1. Sultans of Swing
2. Money for Nothing
3. Walk of Life
4. Brothers in Arms
5. Romeo and Juliet
6. Tunnel of Love
7. Telegraph Road
8. So Far Away
9. Private Investigations
10. Lady Writer

For Kendrick, do we want Not Like Us at #2 for a less than a year old song? Even if we give it acclaim it wouldn't be a big win imo, and Humble's popularity blows it out of the water. OTOH, you could say it's because it's still too recent, and it has huge cultural impact (do we count that?), though Humble was his first #1 as a lead artist.

I figure its cultural impact pushes it over the edge.

[Fido]

Not necessarily against it, though I'd like to hear other's opinions.

I think Do I Wanna Know should still be their top song. I remember when Ryan updated their list I wasn't that sure of Dancefloor going down, but at this point it's cemented its position.

For Bad Bunny I'm surprised Yonaguni is not there, but that may be my personal bias.

[ManPerson]

I gave Dancefloor a good amount of credit for influence and I'd give it acclaim as well, but I could see Do I Wanna Know's popularity being significant enough to take the matchup, I guess.

[Tim]

What do you have in mind for Dancefloor's influence?.

[ManPerson]

Arctic Monkeys have been cited as an early example of an artist that got popular primarily through the internet and I figure that Dancefloor deserves a lions share of the credit for that as their first and breakthrough single.

[Tim]

Guess I'd be cool with it going back at #1. But Do I Wanna Know is a reasonable #1 as well.

That's true actually. I can see it at the top.

Also if nobody comments on the Kendrick list I can send it and the others to Lew, because I want to send the ones I missed from the old forum.

I'm seeing Autechre live later this year, which made me want to give their list a much-needed update. They're a very difficult act to narrow down to just 10 tracks, but this is about as close as I can get:

3. Bike
4. Clipper
5. Altibzz
