I'm going to start with Phil Collins' "One More Night." For example, next in the list could be "Two Sevens Clash" by Culture. Now someone else picks a song whose title begins with the number three, and so on. Let's see how high we can count!

I assume that at some point we'll have to jump into the hundreds and then the thousands, and so on. Chronological, not consecutive. But we seem to be doing OK so far!

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Monday, 7 February 2005 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

"54-46 Was My Number", Maytals

I know the title is hyphenated that way; therefore, the "46" by itself is admissable. (And can be used again if we're stuck on 54!)

Quite right, Pedant! Wasn't thinking.

God, a list of songs in chronological order would be boring beyond belief.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Friday, 4 March 2005 11:21 (twenty-one years ago)

"67" King's X
yeah, I know, but hey..

― Steve Gertz (sgertz), Friday, 4 March 2005 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Myonga von B -- that's a pretty impressive run, but Keith Rowe of AMM did a track called '73 on his first solo album, which would be preferable to the Beethoven. Of course, I guess I could have posted that myself if I'd looked at this thread as it lay fallow over the past month.

-- Dr Benway

Appreciate the info, Doc! I was challenging myself not to take the easy route and rely on AMG, and the Beethoven was (& is) the only thing I could think of. (Still haven't heard AMM, I confess.) Probably coulda done better on 75 & 76, but I thought the Kaleidoscope title was kinda cute.

So, er, Hundred Mile High City - Ocean Colour Scene

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Does 101 Damnations by Carter USM count, since it's an album, not a song? (I'll bagsy "The Taking of Pelham 123" off that album when that number comes round)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)
