THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

COMING NEXT THE BEST 400.

I imagine that in hundreds of years time people will look back on the decades of the 1930’s through to 20- -? as a golden period for the art form of music,much in the same way as we look back at composers like Beethoven and Strauss or playwrights such as Shakespeare
Names such as Bowie,Lennon and Dylan and many more are already assured their legendary place in history and over time will only become more revered as future generations study what they left us.
The question though is have we already heard the best of what music has to offer? Every generation needs it’s own new musical identity which will shock and outrage the previous one,but have all the original ideas already been done?
It could be an age thing because most people will always say ‘they don’t make songs like they used to,’but one thing I have noticed while compiling this countdown is the lack of real quality songs I feel I can choose from the 21st century and there seems to be less with each passing year.
I remember as a young teenager in 1975 saying to a DJ a lot older than myself at the time,’has everything been done,what can they come up with next.’My question of course was answered over the next few years with the arrival of Punk,New Wave,Electronic Music,Grunge and much,much more,so who knows this ‘Golden Period’ hopefully might not be over yet.
Will we be lucky enough to hear a new Prince,Stevie Wonder or Mick Jagger?
PLEASE SHARE TO REACH A WIDER AUDIENCE.
The countdown continues tomorrow at 1.0.pm.
