I just saw someone mentioning Man Overboard.
That was an original song from the Oz band Deckchairs Overboard. I bought a record of both of them the last couple of months and was so disappointed. As Deckchairs Overboard were a fan-tas-tic live band. Both records are after 1984/5, so I think they've must have lost it before. Wish I could let you listen to the old Deckchairs Overboard...Mannn, they were good.

Btw, pretty much impossible to make a list...even 100 songs.
May be I get around to it. Nice job to do that once. Must be impossible to remember and place every song in its right order.

[KYYX4ever]

hee hee....

Thought I'd resurrect this thread 'cuz I wanted to see if my Top 100 was still my Top 100. Except for minor changes (why isn't "Doot Doot" in my Top 10? Or "Cars"? Or "Planet Earth"? Or "Fire Island"? Or "Fade to Grey" ? )What about you guys ?
Weren't these lists an awesome idea?
Now I'm going to try to track down Blir's tabulations....

[WolverineSyr]

I'm afraid my may change quite a bit. I've been exposed to so much awesome music in the past 18 months, some of it absolutely would go on my top 100!
