― Mark, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Let's make them consecutive and see how far we get. No looking at the Allmusic guide, though! It's not fun that way. Our brains must be the database.

― Mark, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― drake, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Let's make them consecutive and see how far we get."

Obviously I can't read or count.

― s woods, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, I cheated on 28 and 34...but 35's easy: "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35," Bob Dylan

― s woods, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

though I didn't cheat on the amg...t'was more 'work' than that (so only half-cheating)...

― s woods, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) [it IS an album, tho, so you can also take 36-34-36 from the Violent Femmes]

― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Straight in at 37" -- the Beautiful South

― Colin Meeder, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Correction: the Violent Femmes song is "26-24-26", as opposed to what Sterling said. The Femmes later went on to point out that they "want lots of pretty chicks".

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bowie, "'87 And Cry".

In case you're wondering, I do have two very good 87s, by people mentioned on ILM a lot!

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"88 Lines About 44 Women" by.... ??

I was gonna mention Dre's 187 UM and Ju-87 by Primal Scream.

sorry there, Martin

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No choice here: Rocket 88 by Jackie Brenston, arguably the first rock 'n' roll record.

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, no Tracer - we had that Nails song for 44!

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

634-5789 by Wilson Pickett. Well, I'm not saving that for when we need a successor for 6,345,788.

C30, C60, C90 Go by Bow Wow Wow.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay, failing a better 91, 911 Is A Joke by Public Enemy, or 911 by Cyndi Lauper.

Then 92 Interlude by Gang Starr, Devotion 92 by Peanut Butter Wolf, M92 Lightspeed by Model 500 or Ninety Two by Xpulsion.

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Map Ref 41N 93W by Wire - I checked that we used something else for 41.

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

1994 by Loudon Wainwright or I-94 by Juan Atkins.

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

95 Rampage by DJ SS, Riot 1995 by Atari Teenage Riot or Oce 9504 by DJ Krush.

Suspense: Ninety Nine And A Half (Won't Do) by Dan Pickett or the Trammps or Wilson Pickett or Etta James or Dorothy Love Coates.

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There are loads of 100s and I'm tired and going to bed. All my above nominations are from my collection, of course, in case anyone thinks I've been using AMG or something.

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay, back down to 0, this time, in increments of 0.1.

"99.9° F" by Suzanne Vega.

― Ernest, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If the 911 songs don't count, Mudhoney has a "Fuzzgun '91".
My "100" nominee: BDP's "100 Guns".

― Nate Patrin, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I got a good 102...101 anyone. (I assume Hall & Oates's "One On One" doesn't count?)

― s woods, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

on we go:
"room 101" by the eurythmics

"CTA 102," Byrds

― s woods, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This seems to be stalling. The best I have is Killah Hills 10304 by Genius/GZA, which ain't that good but I think we've bent it this far before.

― Martin Skidmore, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And my best attempt at 104 is 10-4 (Calling All Cars) by Benny Spellman or Esquerita..

― Martin Skidmore, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And I have nothing to offer for 105 at all, I'm afraid.

― Martin Skidmore, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

let me try to revive this....

"lot 105" by blur.

― willem, Saturday, 29 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The next one should be obvious: "106 Beats That" Wire.

― Dom Passantino, Saturday, 29 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Love Missile F-111 by Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

1112 by Genius/GZA (good thing we didn't use that up on 111!).

― Martin Skidmore, Saturday, 29 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No nominations for 113? I don't have any.

― Martin Skidmore, Saturday, 29 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Zero Renazo, "113," from Invenzioni. (no, I haven't heard it either)

― M Matos, Saturday, 29 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(Chuck D) "One two three four five six seven eight nine"

Uhh, it's the ten crack commandments
What, uhh, uhh
Nigga can't tell me nothin bout this coke, uh-huh
Can't tell me nothin bout this crack, this weed
To my hustlin niggaz
Niggaz on the corner I ain't forget you niggaz
My triple beam niggaz, word up

(Chuck D) "One two three four five six seven eight nine"
"TEN"

I been in this game for years, it made me a animal
It's rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
A step by step booklet for you to get
your game on track, not your wig pushed back
Rule nombre uno: never let no one know
how much, dough you hold, cause you know
The cheddar breed jealousy 'specially
if that man fucked up, get your ass stuck up
Number two: never let em know your next move
Don't you know Bad Boys move in silence or violence
Take it from your highness (uh-huh)
I done squeezed mad clips at these cats for they bricks and chips
Number three: never trust no-bo-dy
Your moms'll set that ass up, properly gassed up
Hoodie to mask up, shit, for that fast buck
she be layin in the bushes to light that ass up
Number four: know you heard this before
Never get high, on your own supply
Number five: never sell no crack where you rest at
I don't care if they want a ounce, tell em bounce
Number six: that god damn credit, dead it
You think a crackhead payin you back, shit forget it
Seven: this rule is so underrated
Keep your family and business completely seperated
Money and blood don't mix like two dicks and no bitch
Find yourself in serious shit
Number eight: never keep no weight on you
Them cats that squeeze your guns can hold jobs too
Number nine shoulda been number one to me
If you ain't gettin bags stay the fuck from police (uh-huh)
If niggaz think you snitchin ain't tryin listen
They be sittin in your kitchen, waitin to start hittin
Number ten: a strong word called consignment
Strictly for live men, not for freshmen
If you ain't got the clientele say hell no
Cause they gon want they money rain sleet hail snow
Follow these rules you'll have mad bread to break up
If not, twenty-four years, on the wake up
Slug hit your temple, watch your frame shake up
Caretaker did your makeup, when you pass
Your girl fucked my man Jake up, heard in three weeks
she sniffed a whole half of cake up
Heard she suck a good dick, and can hook a steak up
Gotta go gotta go, more pasta bake up, word up, uhh

Crack king, Frank Blizzard
Uhh
