If I had time I'd type in the first 100 great singles which I can think of. But I don't. :(
― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)
it was made easier by the fact that I had just finished the agony and ecstacy of compiling and posting my selection to the top 100 albums thread, so the singles list just sort of became all the stuff I thought off then, but couldn't include there (because they were singles).
I'm done with lists.....

Common really does have a track called "The Light"--his biggest U.S. hit by some margin, I believe.
b-sides often become the focal point of the single (e.g. shake/a change is gonna come, time/alright) - if you can ignore the b-sides when rating a single, you can ignore the a-side just as easily.
I guess that's a way of looking at it, but I more see the b-side when making lists like this as just an optional comploment to the a-side--if b-sides counted just as heavily, then we'd have to rank singles with strong a-sides but weak b-sides (superfluous remixes or live tracks especially) lower as a result. I don't think that's fair. I consider a top b-sides list to be mostly independent of a top singles list.

These were merely my top 100 singles of the '80s at the time. (I have a top 100 singles of all time list that I did in the early '90s around here somewhere; maybe I'll dig it out and transcribe it sometime.)
