Glad you enjoyed my contributions to the list. I thought it fitting to submit "The Last in Line" as the 100th song.

"Metal on Metal" is my favorite Anvil album.

I reviewed the track list of the "Monument of Metal" compilation. Based on that, you should check out "Forged in Fire", which is a very good album and not well represented on "Monument". The only song you'll have already heard is "Winged Assassins".

alpha128 I have almost forgotten these 100 greatest music/songs lists, from the old IMDb music section.
Not sure how I ended up with re-visiting your thread here, but looking at the final list, I remember how much fun it was to participate back a few years ago.

Anyone up to start up a few similar 100 greatest lists?

For it is written: the inhabitants of the Earth have been made drunk with her blood. And I saw her sent upon a hairy beast and she held forth a golden chalice full of the filthiness of fornications. And upon her forehead was written: "Behold I am the great mother of harlots and all abominations of the Earth."

stefancrosscoe , I had forgotten about that list as well!

FYI. The following lists also made the transition from the old IMDb board:

100 greatest '70s Rock songs
100 greatest '90s Rock songs
150 Greatest Rock Songs of the 21st Century

By the way, the 150 seems to go through 2015. So you could start one that covers 2016-2021.

Thanks for bringing up those former list, once more.

I really wished I had been paying far more attention towards music from 2010-2020, but sadly, since I started up a Rateyourmusic account back in march of 2016, I guess most of my days and time, have been spent on listening to music from pretty much "every" decade, beside the last 10 years, more or less.
Sure, I might recognize a few hits, here and there, but I feel almost lost, trying to figure out more than a top 5 or top 10.

So I guess I am most likely gonna just have to stay on behind for now, and maybe just look at what songs (if anyone decides to start up such a 2016-2021 list) and have a bit of a listen to some of the choices or cuts that might make it into that list.

However, I do have a few 100-150 genre/song lists, towards decades and genres, that I am far more certain of.

I was thinking of something like:

100 greatest album openers
100 greatest album closers
100 greatest standout album songs
100 cheesiest 80s songs or videos (or from any decade)
100 most overlooked songs
100 most "hated" songs, but ones you really love
100 most overplayed songs
100 sexiest music videos
100 greatest cover songs
100 greatest surprise hits

And well. I guess I got a bit carried away, there. But hopefully some of them might one day, end up as a potential upcoming list, or if the interest is there. Still, I guess maybe we have already been through a few of those back on the old IMDb board?

But for anything newer than 2010, I am sadly gonna be most sitting in the audience, and maybe picking up a few hints and interesting choices, than I might participate.
Hopefully, I might one day get back, and try to update my music interest to more recent material.
