RABid Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I've decided to listen to a different CD every day for the next year. In addition, I don't want to listen to just CD's I already own. While searching for a list of top 500 CD's the Rolling Stone list got the most results. While looking over the list I have to say it is pretty crappy and very narrow. Too many artists have multiple CD's on that list. The Beatles, Stones and Dylan each have 10. Springsteen has 9. The Who have 7 and Bowie has 6. Radiohead, Elton, U2, Marley and Zeppelin each have 5. That is 77 slots taken by 11 artists. Even more if you consider that individual Beatles have 4 more on that list. There has to be a better, more varied list out there. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sam Mullins Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I know Pitchfork has a top 500 songs...not quite what you asked for, but certainly more varied than the Rolling Stone list. Yamaha CK88, Arturia Keylab 61 MkII, Moog Sub 37, Yamaha U1 Upright, Casio CT-S500, Mac Logic/Mainstage, iPad Camelot, Spacestation V.3, QSC K10.2, JBL EON One Compact www.stickmanor.com There's a thin white line between fear and fury - Stickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Verelst Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Lately the radio in Holland has produced some "top 1000 of all times" lists. In fact, lately the quality of the (air) broadcasts is so very bearable (on my Nokia communicator FM stereo receiver + bi-amped monitors), it's regularly fun to put on. I am pretty sure there's like a "top 1000" list on veronica.nl or something, I didn't check it out. But, also that list isn't exactly what I'd hope for, but a lot of good songs just the same.

opdigits Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Instead of searching for lists of "CD's", try searching for lists of artists. Then find them on CD's. May be a bit more work but should yield more results. Nobody told me there'd be days like these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I know Pitchfork has a top 500 songs...not quite what you asked for, but certainly more varied than the Rolling Stone list. Pitchf**k also has top album lists by decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
