The Definitive List | The 100 Greatest Songs of All Time, Part 7

I note, with some satisfaction, that the end of year lists are starting to appear on music writing websites across the world.

These people care so much about music that they’re willing to forgo one month of the year just to let you know how much they care about music. Well, let me tell you, no one cares more about music than we here at Collapse Board and that the way we prove to you our eternal love for the form is by printing a list of the 100 Greatest Songs of All Time, a list so definitive and so steeped in love for music that it will cause all argument about the 100 Greatest Songs of All Time to cease the moment the final instalment is published [which can’t be far off now, can it? – Exasperated Readers]. I mean, this shit is exciting. What could be more exciting than ascribing numerical value to music? I mean, really?

40. The Sea Urchins – Solace

39. The Drug Addix – Gay Boys In Bondage

38. Joni Mitchell – Hejira

37. The Records – Starry Eyes

by Everett True

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
