The Timeless 100 on YouTube (10 – 1)

Op: Friday at 7:58 pm, in: In english, music, Video

This is the last installment in a series of 10 posts, started some 7 hours ago. This one, the top 10 of the Timeless 100, could in theory contain, if votes were perfect, the ten best all time songs. Mind you, as appreciated by a Belgian crowd of Studio Brussel-listeners, in 2007.

10: dEUS – Suds ‘n Soda
Down from n� 8

9: Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah
Was at 9 last year

No “embeddable” video found, only a link then…

8: The Cure – A Forest
Was at 11 last year

7: Radiohead – Creep
Down from n� 4 last year

6: Pearl Jam – Alive
The same position as last year

5: Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven
Up from n�7 last year

A live version from 1973 (the song is from 1971):

4: Deep Purple – Child in Time
Was at n� 5 last year

3: Metallica – One
No change at n� 3

2: Gorky – Mia
2 remains at 2

A version of last year, performed in De Laatste Show:

1: Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
The same song tops the list as last year.

The end

So this is the end, all’s well my friend. Only, no The Beatles in a Timeless 100. How’s that possible? Probably because the “Beatles”-votes get mixed between a high number of songs. Excuses, excuses.

As for YouTube, it stood the test quite well. A majority of the 100 songs is avalailable, in original version. For a good part of the 60′s and 70′s songs, there is a live version. Only a few copyright-anal artists are not there (prince, jeff buckley, dEUS). Sometimes the video-alternatives deliver (google video for dEUS, dailymotion for Prince), sometimes they just make it difficult to link (no embed policy enforced by some record labels). Overall, it h�s become the standard for music videos (so long MTV), and rightfully so…

The rest of this list:
100-91 – 90-81 – 80-71 – 70-61 – 60-51 – 50-41 – 40-31 – 30-21 – 20-11
