Part 2: Backstory
15 April 2025
So my brother recently posted his all-time Top 1000 tracks on Facebook,
complete with YT videos for each entry...
Our musical tastes are different. He's more into mainstream chart music,
mostly classic era 1965-95 ish, though there is a certain degree of overlap too.
A reminder of his stipulations:
• Tracks must be at least 3 mins long
• No Xmas songs
• Tracks can be singles, 12", album tracks, or even mixes
• Instrumentals allowed
At the end, I told him I'll put up a
list of tracks which I feel are missing from his list.
I also said there that I could take maybe 350 from his list to potentially help make my own top 1000,
so... here they are above. The number on the left is the position they were in his top 1000.
They wouldn't all get in my top 1000, but the ones which don't are still worthy of being listed here regardless.
There's 458 of the 1000 listed here and as I said, maybe around 300-350 of those would make my own top 1000...
Note: For the benefit of pc users, the missing positions can be found in
<!--comments--> via the source code.
So I've now got a Pt.2 and a total of around 500 tracks. If there's ever a pt.3, then I
just need to add another 500 tracks to make a top 1000, and put them all in order, ofc...
