Maybe the whole catalog does not need to be listed but all the hits should atleast be listed . Blir , when you listed the Clash greatest songs you forgot about "The Call Up". Now as I remember , that song was a pretty big hit. [;)]

I agree with the 50 song rule; it's easier to get a handle on the whole list of songs than if it's more. And I figure whoever hosts the game has the privilege of picking whatever songs they like.

On with the game, then: since I was gonna kick "Drive", I guess I'll kick the next best (worst?) thing: Hocus Pocus, Alakazam: "Magic" goes *poof*!

I know, it's tough to list all the "hits." And someone always finds the "one" song you missed, or the "one" they really liked, you cheezed on and didn't list, etc. It's a no win to put too many (i.e., the whole catalog of tunes) songs. I like the 50 rule. Give or take a few, like plus or minus two songs. That formula sounds good, and the Greatest song won't take so long to get too; especially if you vote all the hits and best songs right off the bat [i.e., London Calling, (I'm All) Lost in the Super Wal*Mart (the name of of song if it were composed today!)] [;)]
