Top 120 Songs Under 120 Seconds (ILM Poll #95)

Did Flopsy/whoever make that "sub-one-minute" paylist?

I guess not.

aw man sorry for messing up "It's Time to Party"

anyway pretty interesting that TMBG got the 10th most points but couldn't place a single song on the poll. "Nightgown of the Sullen Moon" totally should have been on there, not only a perfect 1:59 but also kind of a perfect tune as well

you should've voted for "kiss me, son of god" with me

136 Rihanna - James Joint (1:12) 4 928 0.2784 1

this is an outrage

that was my #1. i dunno what else i voted for.

Wow. Awesome poll. Nice job Mr Malone.

Looking forward to playing around with the playlist.

I'm finally getting around to watching season 5 of Silicon Valley and "You Suffer" makes a cameo in episode 3, which aired a year before this poll. Didn't see "silicon" show up anywhere in this thread so I figure there might be a few other people as surprised as I was.

Jay Reatard was robbed here! What was I thinking, I shoulda boosted those tunes.

new entry to the list:

Noname - Song 33 (1:10)

Neil Young - Mexico

dang, missed this thread....

Bobby Smith & The Dreamgirls - now he's gone (1:59)

Sven Libaek - open sea theme (2:01)

this was a fun poll

It really was

word

Dead Milkmen - Filet of Sole (1:57)

also, I nominate/invite my friend's band (who worked real hard on their album) for this

Charles Sheffield - it's your vodoo working (1:49)

What, no “Der Weinerschnitzel”?

Should’ve made it less than one minute instead of two. So many of these songs are good hit songs that just happen to clock in at around 1:58 or 1:59, like “Hit the Road Jack” or “Lake of Fire” or “That’s Alright, Mana”.

i suggested a 90 second poll for that reason but alas. still was a really fun poll tho.

and i still regret not voting. my top 10 would have been something very close to this (sticking to a self-imposed 90 second rule):

moby grape - naked, if i want to
big star - ST 100/6
shuggie otis - happy house
gong - chainstore chant
wire - field day for the sundays
the beatles - her majesty
tom zé - complexo de épico
can - pnoom
de la soul - transmitting live from mars
dead kennedys - nazi punks fuck off

also the db's made the top 120 but where, i ask, where are the nerves ?

on further review, not including video game songs here definitely led to a drastically different selection. i assume SMB1 W1-1 would have won this.

Wow, Yummy Fur are criminally underrepresented here, they should own this

Yes

Anyway, um, "inspired" by this poll I've made a Twitter account where I'm posting a song of every length.
