I just found it interesting I actually have heard or heard of the ones denoted /. Got to be a record.

 

Other than Pink Floyd, that is a terrible list

 

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon
Magic - The Sound of Arrows
10 Days Late - Third Eye Blind

 

It's the best list.

If there were to be a terrible such list, it would likely be you posting it. And you're invited to do that.

 

The fact that you've heard the Mr. Little Jeans song means you read the "KidB song of the day" thread, and that's a good thing.

Try this one for size:

Seriously, MIA... Are you a 17 yo girl?

If your going to list a shitty band like Gorillaz at least refer to the only decent contribution they have made to music, Feel Good Inc.

Led Zeppelin's In My Time of Dying deserves a high ranking spot, as does Alice in Chain's Nutshell. Sober by Tool. Love Lockdown by Kanye. Notorious Big Papa. I'll give you Jay-Z, but I could think of 100 songs better than what you posted.

 

It's a very good list. Any list with Nas and Big Boi is straight with me.

Edit-add Trick to that as well.

 

Methinks you'll have trouble coming up with 100 Jay-Z songs featuring children's choirs.

Gorillaz is anything but a shitty band and the fact that you wrote the same eliminates any credibility you did or did not have.

Moreover, yes, MIA, and, no, I am not a 17 year old girl. Good talk.

I wouldn't fight very hard in an argument that any of the top three were in the #1 slot.

 

No Beatles? List sucks.

 

Those are great songs, none of them have a choir of children featured in them however.

 

How about "You Can't Always Get What You Want?"

I can think of several good ones with choirs in general (e.g. "Border Song" "Like a Prayer," "Under the Bridge"). About the best is The Killers, "All these things I've Done" (I Got Soul but I'm not a Soldier).

 

The choir that sung on "Under The Bridge" featured Flea's mother. Little known fact.

 

I can't really think of many with a kids choir but of the songs with a choir of adults, I'd thrown in "Man In The Mirror", "Jesus Walks", "I Believe I Can Fly", and "B.O.B.".

 

I don't know if I like M.I.A or if it just gets stuck in my head and won't go away

 

While you've named some great songs, I'm not sure what list your listing songs for. I do know it's not the one in the title.

 

After Pineapple Express, I listened to Paper Planes non-stop for a good couple months.

 

Me too after Slumdog Millunaire.

 

Kenny Loggins - Heartlight. Don't come in until the end, but every list deserves Kenny Loggins. And it's just a great ****ing song.
