Come on gents, anyone can post a list of songs, let's have a little reasoning.

For example;

blur - girls & boys or parklife - Which?
the La's - there she goes
beastie boys - no sleep till brooklyn, fight for your right - Which?
tupac - california love - The original is better in my opinion - Dear Mama was good though, a new style in what at the time was a tired genre
sugerhill gang - rapers delight  - Same era'ish, what about White Lines, better lines, better bass
public enemy - fight the power
snoop dogg - nuthin but a g thang
faithless - insomnia  - Great tune, shame they haven't lived up to it since, maybe 'We Come One'?
faith no more - from out of nowhere, epic
guns n roses - welcome to the jungle, paradise city, sweet child o' mine  - Choices choices, from gritty to sh1tty, I reckon the earlier stuff was better, so Welcome to the Jungle?
jimi hendrix - red house
nine inch nails - closer
cream - sunshine of your love
nirvana - in bloom, lithium, tourette's - All good, I always like the 'Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam, on the unplugged album, and if you were going to pick a Nirvana tune, wouldn't it be Teen Spirit ?
oasis - whatever, live forever
pearl jam - alive
blondie - atomic
portishead - roads, glory box
red hot chilis - give it away, under the bridge - Virgin have ruined this tune for me, but good shout
the orb - little fluffy clouds

I appreciate my opinion counts for nothing, but it's good for discussion purposes.

[A Twig]

Right reasoning then:
Red Hot Chilli's - Brandy - saw them perform this live last year, was absolutely incredible
Tupac - Changes - the defining moment in tupac's career where he came to the attention of the masses
TDWY ft. Shorty - Player's Holiday - my favourite summer tune of all time - sampling Bill Withers with a laid back rap over it, didnt get the credit or respect it deserved
Moby - In My Heart (both the original and the Ferry Corsten remix) Both the original and Ferry Coreten's remix are immensely powerful dance tracks, especially as the section is lookng a little bare.
Otis Redding - Cigarettes and Coffee - In my opinion his greatest song, everyone cites Dock of the Bay, but they are mainly the people who don't know any more of his music
Fats Waller - Alligator Crawl - The best boogiewoogie/jazz piano player... ever....
Outlandish - Aicha (CN remix) - Another incredible summer tune, but with quite powerful lyrics, certainly rare to have such depth from a remix.

[Maus]

All righty, one for each category. I have fairly obscure tastes but I'll try to keep these to reasonably well-known things, and I'll try not to include anything recent too for that all-time greats feel :

Pop: New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
Dance: Autechre - Bike
Hip Hop/Old School: Beastie Boys - She's Crafty
Rock & Roll: I'm Walkin' - Fats Domino
Heavy: Pantera - Mouth For War (good lord, as a metal fan where to begin?)
New Wave: Human League - Love Action
Reggae/Ska: Bad Manners - Skinhead Love Affair (not a genre I know really, sorry)

and a couple of other categories, maybe...

Jazz: Miles Davis - Gone
Blues: Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightnin'
Electro: My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - Do You Fear For Your Child (not really sure which category it lives in, but it needs to be included)

[Anonymous]

There are only 2 categories of music:

Country & Western

[RizZy]

Well, I went through your little list of differant genres, & tried to think of the song/s that were pure 100% pop/rock whatever to me (that I could think of at the time) multiple choices came due to not being able to decide myself & its your album so I figured i'd give you the job.

In answer to your few Q's + a few changes-

blur - Girls & boys - pure brit pop
beastie's - Looking down the barrel of a gun - 2nd album after there were supposed 1 hit wonders, came back with new sounds & skills, played there own instruments & sampled the hell out of just about everything
rapers delight/white lines - probably have to put both in as basically they brought rap to the masses
faithless - insomnia - everything they've done since sounds exactly the same as insomnia, just with a differant drop off in the middle
G n' R - welcome to the jungle or paradise city - both sum up what G n' R were all about in there prime, for me paradise city would just sneak it.
Nirvana - teen spirit - yea i guess, i was just being differant on that one, but if your gonna pick 1 song that launched a whole scene, it'd be teen spirit

& whatever on the rest of em  :dummy:

No you are wrong I'm afraid its

Drum & Bass :dribble:

[Benny]

Updated below......I'd forgotten about the whole Blues/Jazz etc genre..Howlin Wolf - Bang on, I've got a couple of old vinyls, sound great. I can't believe we've had no Beatles / Elvis or 70's stuff, a little less suprising, nothing that stands out is relatively new....any more for any more, any comments on the existing line up?


Oh, incidentally, I have half of my office working on it too.

[ChimpBoy]

Motown - Smokey Robinson - Track Of My Tears
Motown - Marvin Gaye - anything from the album "What's Going On".

Country and Western - Johnny Cash - A Boy Called Sue or The Man Comes Around

Pop - Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer
Pop - The Beach Boys - take your pick for perfect 60s summer pop

Rock and Roll - Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
Rock and Roll - The Clash - so many, but the obvious is London Calling (or do you want a "Punk" section?)
Rock and Roll - Little Richard - Long Tall Sally
Rock and Roll - Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Hard Rock - no Led Zepp or Cream?  The founders of the genre.

Depends on your definition of "New Wave", but I would have thought The Jam fitted in there.

And I object to the Beatles being in Rock and Roll - they were a pop band if ever I heard one  

[Armitage]

I thought The jam lived on the edges of punk and so would the clash. so can we have a soft punk genre.

can you add "down in the tube station at midnight."

And help by the Beatles is total pop.

Get Around does it for me  

And I gave you a choice on Marvin for Soul - I'd go for for "What's Going On".  Obvious, but a classic nonetheless.

Ooh, Beach Boys? Good Vibrations hands down!!!!
