📍12:04 Opps! “Once In A Lifetime” came out in 1980, not 81! 😅 I guess in that case, “Once In A Lifetime” might edge out “Ashes to Ashes” as my 1980 pick, and then for 1981 I would instead choose “Under Pressure” by Queen and Bowie. 😊 or maybe “Golden Brown” by The Stranglers. Thanks to those who brought this to my attention. Also, I regret not putting “How Soon Is Now?” by The Smiths as my 1984 pick! 😢 Not sure how I forgot about that one!
The simpsons episode where Homer goes to Lolla because none of the kids remember Mississippi Queen, that episode came out closer to the release of Mississippi Queen than the present.
I am outraged that you didn’t include the specific songs I like in your list!! 😡 Unacceptable! The songs I like is known worldwide as the definitive list that should be everyone’s favorites!
You are wrong!! Even though I don't know you nor have any idea which songs would be in your actual list, I am very much inclined to believe your musical taste is rubbish and your picks would have been way worse than mine!! But again, I know absolutely nothing about you or your picks.
It's so funny how people are offended that their personal favorites are not included in this extremely subjective list. 😂😂 They should just make and share their own list instead of being outraged.
@Chadner Although I have zero respect for others and therefore your music taste, I have to say MY music taste is the only music taste that anyone should ever have. That you believe you're right is offensive to me and thus I will rage randomly at others. Also, such a great channel and I knew there would be various great songs and acts I'd never heard in this list. Great and intelligent list.
Ha! I just posted basically the same thing before I saw your post. "Nothing by Kate Bush or The Cure or Depeche Mode? Meh. For instance, "This Woman's Work", "Lullaby", and "Fly On The Windscreen". No wonder the 1980s are his least favorite of all these decades."
En general la cultura musical de los anglos es bastante reducida, ya que acostumbran a estar muy cerrados en sí mismos. Este tipo no es ninguna excepción. Sabe de musica; pero su perspectiva está muy acotada, con lo cual sus opiniones son bastante pobres y cortas de miras.

@@otterrific7595 I actually haven't heard that song but I do know a lot of KGATLW. They definitely have their appeal and have released a lot of material but for me none of their songs stand out as "masterpieces".
1984 a weak year? Tangerine Dream - Love On A Real Train The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? Rush - Distant Early Warning Prince - When Doves Cry Metallica - Fade To Black The Art Of Noise - Moments In Love The Cars - Drive The Replacements - Androgynous Echo & The Bunnymen - Nocturnal Me Depeche Mode - Somebody The Cure - Caterpillar Cocteau Twins - Beatrix Talk Talk - It's My Life And hundreds of songs from the world of metal.
@@ericjenkins2737 here's a few I like from '84: Hello - Lionel Richie Legs - ZZtop Borderline - Madonna Message To My Girl - Split Enz Shout - Tears For Fears Axel F - Harold Faltermeyer
Where is my mind is from 1988! Wow that has blown my mind. Pixes were really ahead of their time. I would have sworn to anyone that Surfa Rosa was a 90's album! I really enjoy your content. Only found your channel a week or so ago. Keep up the great work.
@@atomdecayYou say you know everything about music theory, (unlikely, usually the people who think they know everything actually know quite little), and then call creep a 4 axis chord song when it doesn't even include that chord progression. I, V, vi, IV ≠ I, III, IV, iv. Say what you want about a song being overplayed and all that but it pays to take a slice of humble pie and get off your high horse.
Absolutely! The entire 80s is an absolute wealth IMHO. A few of my faves from '82: Private Investigations - Dire Straits Abracadabra - The Steve Miller Band I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran Rock the Casbah - The Clash Blue Eyes - Elton John House of Fun - Madness The Look of Love - ABC Hold Me - Fleetwood Mac Promised You a Miracle - Simple Minds 1999 - Prince The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats Puttin On The Ritz - Taco Living On The Ceiling - Blancmange White Wedding - Billy Idol I'm So Excited - The Pointer Sisters Mad World - Tears for Fears Let's Go To Bed - The Cure Science Fiction - The Divinyls
I agree. I would put 1982 at the top of my list for great music. But almost NONE of the songs that charted that year would be on a list of my favorites. I think it just shows differences between the generations; if you weren't there to get exposed to the whole range of music, you don't have the full picture.
Seriously. 1982-1984 is an embarrassment of riches. Just for 1982 how about Eye in the Sky, Heat of the Moment, Pressure, Southern Cross, Hungry Like the Wolf, Maneater, Somebody's Baby, Steppin' Out, Our House, Who Can It Be Now, Safety Dance, 1999, More Than This, Edge of Seventeen, Do I Do, Africa...
I think it’s interesting that for you, the genre doesn’t stray far from pop. I think I would have a hard time not straying into funk, jazz, metal, rap, grunge, fusion, punk, prog, country, etc.
I have never clicked a video so fast! When I saw the title I thought "Hm, how have I not seen a video from David talking about his favorite songs?" then I saw the upload time & clicked so fast I probably rivalled the speed of light lol 😂 My fav of '66 is Paperback Writer

Me: "Wait, wasn't this video over 50 minutes long? We've already reached the 80s!" My brain: "Well, there's 44 years left to cover." Me: "...Oh. Yes. Of course." 😕 Brain: "1964 to 1980 was just 16 years." Me: "Yes, yes, I know!" 😑 Brain: "Come to think of it, 44 years before 1980 would've been 1936." Me: "WILL YOU SHUT UP?!"
The Crowded House pick caught me off guard. Neil Finn is the most humble, talented person I have ever had the honour to meet and I think any musician wishes they had written some of his songs.
OK, who else went to check out 1982 releases? Our House (Madness). Rio (Duran Duran). Don’t You Want Me? (Human League). Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Cheers theme). Beat Surrender (The Jam). And my personal favourite, Happy Talk by Captain Sensible, which spent the same 2 weeks at number 1, as our family spent camping in the Lake District! Ah, memories.
Absolutely brilliant again David - loved it. It’s your love of music, songwriting etc - coupled with your musical expertise - that makes this so compelling

David, thank you for this. I watched the first half to confirm my biases, then stopped. But then I realized that aside from Radiohead, I know very little after 2001. I’ve built a “listen to” list from the albums you cited after that year (I’m 59).

@@RC-qf3mp ok boomer, you might want to clue in to reality yourself and look at some actual stats of how many estimated people actually transition genders. It's a tiny sliver compared to the rest of the population. You're looking for ragebait and arguments on something you don't agree with and no amount of complaining is going to change that the healthy thing to do is accept and understand gender diversity... because really, no gender police are coming after someone with an insufferable attitude like yours lol

i love birdhouse in your soul, and they might be giants in general. i never really noticed the mixing at the beginning!! so cool! great creative group. my mom loved them they always make me think of her
This video raises an interesting point regarding how people look at music differently. I don't think it would be possible for me to pick a favorite song for any given year. It's just too many songs to choose from, and it's hard for me to compare something as granular as an individual song. But I could definitely pick a favorite album for each year (though years in the early 1970s would be challenging, due to the large number of great albums in that period). I think my perspective is shaped by the fact that I've always been drawn to listening to entire albums, and I haven't spent a lot of time listening to radio, or to streaming services that are song-focused rather than album-focused.
As someone who's always listened to parts of songs, songs and only a few years (10-12 I guess) really started to listen to albums I still think it's impossible for me to pick a favourite song/piece of a year. Firstly, because there are so many options, and secondly, because I often don't know the year a song came out, outside of the works of my favourite artists.
I'm thinking to myself, wow, this guy has a really diversified taste of music and then it turns into a I love Radiohead video. LoL. My observation is you like, or should I say love, what you heard or picked out in your youth to listen to and that's O.K. You are just great. When I was young I didn't have to go back decades because I had a transistor AM radio and new music was fresh and new every single day. Lucky me, my youth was in the 60's and 70's. Ya see, music back then was a matter of what your hear, not what you see. About ninety percent of what the brain takes in as information is through the eyes. If you let your eyes tell your ears what sounds good, and you will do this if you look before or while you listen, you may miss out. Music history and perception of such as it has to do with culture is quite fascinating and interesting. We got AI music now. Where will that take us? I kind of like what I have heard that is AI generated because it seems to be that we have songs again that are similar to what I heard on the AM radio when I was a kid. Those AI robot vocals sound funny wierd, but they make good vocal melody's. They sing in key. Now, this is not to say the melody's are good because they are pitch perfect per say, it is to say the melody's are good because of the way they use and sing from a melodic in key a scale. Good Luck and God Bless.
I was very surprised that you didn't pick "Everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears for Fears (or any of their songs), that song is a common pick in those kinds of lists and I understand perfectly why, it perfectly scratches an itch inside of my brain.

AWESOME!!!! Not a few of my own fav songs of all time are on your list. THANKS for the lovely memories your list evokes. That said, i'm QUITE impressed by your breadth of knowledge of popular music - from the splendid Unforgettable, to The Boxer, all the way to a lot of stuff i've never even heard of, after 2000. Kudos!!!
Im amazed that someone with such diverse tastes that tend to scew towards the pioneering and experimental music RARELY talks about King Crimson. One of the most influential (not generally popular, tho) bands of all time. Dare I say the most influential rock band? Yes. Why dont you talk about them? Im just so tired of every music youtuber either being completely ignorant to King Crimson's existence or just not giving them credit where credit is due. I feel like so many of these alternative fans would love King Crimson, theyre like the origin point. Frankly the lack of prog rock on here is baffling. The guy who talks about tons of modes, time signatures, fun rhythms... why?
My favourites from the '70s: 1970 ~ Edwin Starr ~ War 1971 ~ Bill Withers ~ Aint No Sunshine 1972 ~ Roberta Flack ~ Killing Me Softly With His Song 1973 ~ The Rolling Stones ~ Heartbreaker 1974 ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd ~ Sweet Home Alabama 1975 ~ ABBA ~ SOS 1976 ~ Queen ~ You Take My Breath Away 1977 ~ X-Ray Spex ~ Oh Bondage Up Yours! 1978 ~ Kate Bush ~ The Man With The Child In His Eyes 1979 ~ Johnny Osbourne ~ Truth and Rights and, yes, I know nobody cares ;)
My favourites: 1970: Simon & Garfunkel ~ Bridge Over Troubled Water 1971: Led Zeppelin ~ Stairway To Heaven 1972: The Temptations ~ Papa Was A Rolling Stone 1973: Pink Floyd ~ Us & Them 1974: The Hollies ~ The Air That I Breathe 1975: BeeGees ~ Nights On Broadway 1976: Electric Light Orchestra ~ Telephone Line 1977: Fleetwood Mac ~ The Chain 1978: The Rolling Stones ~ Miss You 1979: Supertramp ~ Goodbye Stranger Im in my 20s, but i tried to not repeat artists.
@@Aurla-R2-D2 Thank YOU! I had somehow never listened to Queen's "You Take my Breath Away" until yesterday when I saw your comment and I loved it! It really reminds me of Jacob Colliers stuff.
David, I hope you read this. I'm struck by the emotional content running through - hinting at loss in your life. I enjoy your educational content, including this, not just for the wide range (on non Radiohead years 🤣) but also the background, like with Snarky Puppy. I love more that you do so touching on your deeper life experiences. We need this, as an antidote to some other popular social media content.
10:15 the way you described the song being ahead of its time, I instantly knew which song it would be before you showed it. Crazy how one of the most iconic 80s songs of all time is actually a 70s song.
I feel like Once in a Lifetime is actually cut from the same cloth as the rest of the songs from Remain in Light: a non melodic, essentially speech performed by David Bryne over an new wave, afrobeat influenced, dense soundscape, strung together by a repetitive, anthemic hook
uncanny - when you selected Once in a Lifetime, I thought, Senses Working Overtime could be next - and you did not disappoint! Loving it so far. Looking forward to the later years where my knowledge is more sketchy - you may be about to introduce me to some new great music. I wonder if you have any Orson in there...

interresting how the focus shifted from the point on when you were growing up consciously and listening to contemporary artists to the years you learned as part of a "history lesson"
my 1976 pick would be "don't fear the reaper" by blue oyster cult! spotify recommend it to me two years ago, when I found out the track was released in 1976 my jaw was on the floor, it sounds like a stylized modern song (at least to me)!
That’s an all-time classic. However, kind of like what he said about that Talking Heads album, when I listened to the album, I felt that very few other tracks lived up to the quality of that song. I found this to be true throughout the blue oyster cold catalog unfortunately. When they hit though, they really hit
I think life experiences strongly influence how much we appreciate or dislike music. I’m a little sentimental for 80s music because that was the decade when I was growing up.
My preferences are much different than yours, especially in later decades! Qualifiers: no songs from movies, tv, musicals, contests, etc., only songs released as songs. Singles from albums are considered for the year they were released as singles, not for the year the album was released.

One song for every year of my life (so far)! A fun selection, and the vast majority of your early picks would be quite high in my lists (I could never pick just one song from a year, though). My least-favourite decade would probably be the 00s but there's good music in every decade (and age is definitely a factor). Thanks
@@laeclorentzen6111 ik lol, was also pointing out no Aphex. Radiohead have said multiple times how inspirational he was so I assumed David would be a fan. Pablo Honey kinda boring in comparison to their entire discog, I think he was particularly pointing out The Bends onwards is their best material, which I agree with
@@-k-b- I mean yeah I definitely don't blame him for not picking any Pablo Honey but it's just kinda funny that he straight up pretends it doesn't exist. Also, I see what you mean, I assumed you were one of the people just saying "why doesn't he like my personal favorite artist". I have never heard of Aphex Twin, I'll have to look into them.
Fantastic! Thanks for including The Lemon Twigs...their album A Dream Is All We Know is out of this world...melody, harmony, wonderful musicianship...and their live show at Concorde2 recently was sublime..can't get their tunes outta my head!
46:15 also West Coast quotes the guitar lick from the Beatles' And I Love Her, which may be one of the reasons why you like that very song from Ultraviolence😁
@davidbennettpiano a series like this for different genres would be fantastic. It’d be very entertaining to get a video like this for your song of the year for various specific genres since their early years/roots/inception.
Here's my list: 1964: The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love 1965: The Beatles - In My Life 1966: The Beatles - For No One 1967: The Beatles - A Day in the Life 1968: The Beatles - Dear Prudence 1969: The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun 1970: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Who'll Stop the Rain 1971: Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven 1972: Eagles - Take It Easy 1973: Pink Floyd - Time 1974: Eagles - Already Gone 1975: Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond 1976: Queen - Somebody to Love 1977: James Taylor - Your Smiling Face 1978: Rush - La Villa Strangiato 1979: Christopher Cross - Sailing 1980: AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill 1981: Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure 1982: Dire Straits - Telegraph Road 1983: Elton John - I'm Still Standing 1984: Kenny Loggins - Footloose 1985: Huey Lewis and the News - The Power of Love 1986: Huey Lewis and the News - Hip to Be Square 1987: Michael Jackson - Man in the Mirror 1988: Guns N' Roses - Patience 1989: Gloria Estefan - Get on Your Feet 1990: AC/DC - Thunderstruck 1991: Guns N' Roses - November Rain 1992: Duran Duran - Ordinary World 1993: The Cranberries - Linger 1994: Seal - Kiss from a Rose 1995: Tevin Campbell & Rosie Gaines - I 2 I 1996: Dave Matthews Band - Crash into Me 1997: Radiohead - No Surprises 1998: Goo Goo Dolls - Iris 1999: Toto - Cruel 2000: Linkin Park - In the End 2001: System of a Down - Aerials 2002: John Rzeznik - I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) 2003: Evanescence - Bring Me to Life 2004: Keane - Somewhere Only We Know 2005: Madrugada & Ane Brun - Lift Me 2006: Belle and Sebastian - Funny Little Frog 2007: John Fogerty - Don't You Wish It Was True 2008: Ole Børud - Backyard Party 2009: Phoenix - Lisztomania 2010: Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby 2011: Ole Børud - Heaven Is on My Side 2012: First Aid Kit - Emmylou 2013: Earth, Wind & Fire - Sign On 2014: Snarky Puppy - Lingus 2015: Kristian Kristensen - Lyset 2016: Vulfpeck - Animal Spirits 2017: Greta Van Fleet - Black Smoke Rising 2018: Eugent Bushpepa - Mall 2019: Cody Fry, Cory Wong & Dynamo - Want Me Back 2020: Dirty Loops - Rock You 2021: Silk Sonic - Leave the Door Open 2022: Milja and the Milky Way - Serial Monogamist 2023: Greta Van Fleet - Meeting the Master 2024: Aurora - Your Blood
I was in agreement until you said you were disappointed with King of Limbs. That album is amazing! Such a good vibe. I listen to it straight through every time.
I cheated a bit with my 2008 pick, which was on a 2007 album, but released as a single in 2008, so I decided it counted, since it's my list and I really didn't wanna pick between the '07 and '08 songs, I figured I could fudge the numbers a little. 1964: "Remember (Walking in the Sand)" - The Shangri-Las 1965: "Unchained Melody" - The Righteous Brothers 1966: "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" - The Walker Brothers 1967: "Nights in White Satin" - The Moody Blues 1968: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - The Beatles 1969: "I'm Set Free" - The Velvet Underground 1970: "Moonshadow" - Yusuf / Cat Stevens 1971: "Tired of Being Alone" - Al Green 1972: "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" - David Bowie 1973: "Lady Grinning Soul" - David Bowie 1974: "Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd 1975: "Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen 1976: "Year of the Cat" - Al Stewart 1977: "Sound and Vision" - David Bowie 1978: "I Wanna Be Sedated" - Ramones 1979: "She's Lost Control" - Joy Division 1980: "Happy House" - Siouxsie and the Banshees 1981: "Ceremony" (version 1) - New Order 1982: "Only You" - Yazoo 1983: "Forbidden Colours" - David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto 1984: "The Beautiful Ones" - Prince and the Revolution 1985: "Cloudbusting" - Kate Bush 1986: "Sea, Swallow Me" - Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd 1987: "This Corrosion" - Sisters of Mercy 1988: "Under the Milky Way" - The Church 1989: "This Woman's Work" - Kate Bush 1990: "Enjoy the Silence" - Depeche Mode 1991: "You and Your Sister" - This Mortal Coil 1992: "Friday I'm In Love" - The Cure 1993: "Fade Into You" - Mazzy Star 1994: "Wandering Star" - Portishead 1995: "Tilt" - Scott Walker 1996: "Crazy for You" - Slowdive 1997: "No Surprises" - Radiohead 1998: "Waltz #2 (XO)" - Elliott Smith 1999: "All My Little Words" - The Magnetic Fields 2000: "We Could Walk Together" - The Clientele 2001: "In My Secret Life" - Leonard Cohen 2002: "Do You Realize??" - The Flaming Lips 2003: "Maps" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs 2004: "Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men" - The Strokes & Regina Spektor 2005: "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" - Death Cab for Cutie 2006: "Thursday" - Asobi Sesku 2007: "The Con" - Tegan and Sara 2008: "I Feel It All" - Feist 2009: "Daniel" - Bat for Lashes 2010: "I Want the World to Stop" - Belle and Sebastian 2011: "Cameo Lover" - Kimbra 2012: "Myth" - Beach House 2013: "Love Is to Die" - Warpaint 2014: "Really Love" - D'Angelo and the Vanguard 2015: "Eidolon" - BEA1991 2016: "Woman" - Angel Olsen 2017: "Shark Smile" - Big Thief 2018: "Don't Beat the Girl Out of My Boy" - Anna Calvi 2019: "home with you" - FKA twigs 2020: "Runner" - Tennis 2021: "Quiet" - Lauren Auder 2022: "The Loneliest Time" - Carly Rae Jepsen & Rufus Wainwright 2023: "I Wanna Be Your Man" - Lauren O'Connell 2024: "Good Luck, Babe!" - Chappell Roan
1964: I Feel Fine (I would put And I Lover Her a close second) 1965: Ticket to Ride 1966: She Said She Said (I would put Tomorrow Never Knows a close second) 1967: A Day in the Life 1968: Hey Jude 1969: Here Comes the Sun 1970: Bridge Over Troubled Water 1971: Baba O'Reilly 1972: American Pie 1973: My Love (McCartney)
Well, okay...I stopped at some point in the 90s and just tried to skim through the rest, but basically almost no black musicians, and maybe one woman? Or did I miss one? That seems kind of strange, considering all the amazing singers and musicians through the decades who are female and people of colour!
Completely agree. When we got through the 60s and 70s without one female or Black artist I was done. I caught two woman Regina Spektor and Pheobe Bridges, and not a single Black artist. Out of 50 years. No Marvin, Otis, Donna Summer, Joni Mitchell. May unsubscribe, this is not an inclusive channel. This guy needs to broaden his horizon if he's gonna teach music history.
Well David I am amazed at how in step we are; from the Beatles to Radiohead and the other many acts we both enjoy. I was won over right from the start when you praised one of my all time favourite songs, Wichita Lineman; such a beautiful 3 minute experience. Love your picks, although I think we do part company in the 90s with the exception of Radiohead. Thank you for all the effort and I will look out for more of your content.

I love Riders on the Storm. Big fan of Once in a Lifetime, as well. Pleasantly surprised about the shout-out to the Lemon Twigs at the end, as well.
The 1980s is my favorite decade for music. Probably because I was 11-20 years of age through that decade. I've always felt that even the worst song of the 1980s was better than the best song of the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and what we've gotten of the 2020s so far.
@@fredo1070 Maybe just albums were better in general. I have lots of CD singles and EPs . I think its just that a new generation weren't use to stacking 45s , but playing albums so having not been use to singles in any form, they didn't buy them
@@simonmacomber7466 I first started to listen to music just before the Beatles. I liked both the 80s and 90s . But if you grew up in the 80s , I can see why you don't like the 90s. Those decades are in harmony w 2 aspects of 60s music. But 2 very different ones....The only music era I don't like is the 70s disco/punk era. But no problem, I'd just put on some Weather Report or Mahavishnu.
Great video. Showing my age here. Apart from Radiohead , I never heard of most of the artists chosen from the past 20 years. Delighted though that Crowded House ‘Don’t Dream etc.’ is one of your favourites. We all love the Beatles, but there should be space for ‘God Only Knows’ - a true masterpiece.
very interesting to listen to someone much younger than me choose their great songs. You are a wonderful teacher and musician.... but i was so surprised how rarely i liked your choices!! I tried listening to some of the bands you recommended but they were too .... i dont know. they just didnt 'grab' me. but interesting and thanks for your videos.
David - a real challenge would be a list with no Beatles or Radiohead. I know, almost impossible! I like the suggestion earlier to do a list with Albums.
📍12:04 Opps! “Once In A Lifetime” came out in 1980, not 81! 😅
I guess in that case, “Once In A Lifetime” might edge out “Ashes to Ashes” as my 1980 pick, and then for 1981 I would instead choose “Under Pressure” by Queen and Bowie. 😊 or maybe “Golden Brown” by The Stranglers.
Thanks to those who brought this to my attention.
Also, I regret not putting “How Soon Is Now?” by The Smiths as my 1984 pick! 😢 Not sure how I forgot about that one!
Solid corrections! "How Soon Is Now?" really must trump all else that year.
BTW, listening to all of the selected tracks with which I'm unfamiliar. Thanks for the tipoffs re: new music
@@KentBuchla fantastic 😀
Pin your comment please David
@@zachsmith3 it is pinned!
I just had the realization that 1964 was to 1994 what 1994 is to 2024 and I'm not okay.
Similar to when I realised that 1975 is to 1995 as 2004 is to 2024!
Get used to it child.
I just realized there are people typing comments who barely know arithmetic
@@RC-qf3mp yeah and some lack reading skills
The simpsons episode where Homer goes to Lolla because none of the kids remember Mississippi Queen, that episode came out closer to the release of Mississippi Queen than the present.
I am outraged that you didn’t include the specific songs I like in your list!! 😡 Unacceptable! The songs I like is known worldwide as the definitive list that should be everyone’s favorites!
You are wrong!! Even though I don't know you nor have any idea which songs would be in your actual list, I am very much inclined to believe your musical taste is rubbish and your picks would have been way worse than mine!! But again, I know absolutely nothing about you or your picks.
@@Chadneri think he is joking bro
It's so funny how people are offended that their personal favorites are not included in this extremely subjective list. 😂😂 They should just make and share their own list instead of being outraged.
@@marenphilipse7955r/woooosh
@Chadner Although I have zero respect for others and therefore your music taste, I have to say MY music taste is the only music taste that anyone should ever have. That you believe you're right is offensive to me and thus I will rage randomly at others.
Also, such a great channel and I knew there would be various great songs and acts I'd never heard in this list. Great and intelligent list.
Surprised there's no mention of Kate Bush on here, she could save the 80s for you.
He also seemed to forget about Tears For Fears.
@@reillywalker195 I sure he didn't...one song is a hard decision
@@Strange-Songs Tears For Fears have a lot more than just one good song to their name. Don't be daft.
No Police or Duran Duran either. Did I just say that? My, the 80s was tough!
Ha! I just posted basically the same thing before I saw your post.
"Nothing by Kate Bush or The Cure or Depeche Mode? Meh.
For instance, "This Woman's Work", "Lullaby", and "Fly On The Windscreen".
No wonder the 1980s are his least favorite of all these decades."
Can you also do this with albums?
And favourite bands from each year (not called The Beatles or Radiohead)!
@@nextphasetkd 🤣
Continuum
Room for Squares
1989
Songs about Jane.
I wonder what artist he will pick for every year between 1963 and 1970 🤔🪲
Rolling stones, probably 😀
@m0llux yeah probably, a probability OF 0% RAHHH
Radiohead didn't release any music those years so I have no idea
@@dcflake5645 i mean radiohead copied the whole pink floyd discography so there's a couple albums in that period that he could choose if he wanted
En general la cultura musical de los anglos es bastante reducida, ya que acostumbran a estar muy cerrados en sí mismos. Este tipo no es ninguna excepción. Sabe de musica; pero su perspectiva está muy acotada, con lo cual sus opiniones son bastante pobres y cortas de miras.
I love how you enjoy half of Steely Dan. That's such a refreshing and honest take, given most people are either 100% all-in or can't stand them.
I like most Steely Dan, except for the songs David Palmer sang on.
“Dirty Work” is still a great song.
I'm all in...
I'm all in now, but this was also my take when I was a young'n.
The only Steely track I don't like is that East St Louis thing and they didn't write that anyway.

@@otterrific7595 I actually haven't heard that song but I do know a lot of KGATLW. They definitely have their appeal and have released a lot of material but for me none of their songs stand out as "masterpieces".
@@satelitejameson Yes I think both are massively underrated!
Good list, plenty of variety with genres with I can always appreciate. 2011 is a personal favourite of mine xD

And hundreds of songs from the world of metal.
I don’t disagree with many of those, but there’s no way you just pulled this out of your ass lol
@@pensivepenguin3000 I have playlists I’ve compiled from the early-60s to present for each year and this was just a small portion of my 1984 one.
Thank you, Eric, very cool!
@@ericjenkins2737 here's a few I like from '84:
Hello - Lionel Richie
Legs - ZZtop
Borderline - Madonna
Message To My Girl - Split Enz
Shout - Tears For Fears
Axel F - Harold Faltermeyer
Modern English - "Someone's Calling" '84 was AWESOME DUDE! I know that was 82 but they got popular here in US in 84.
I know it's hard to pick a single song per year, but I appreciated the list as a whole!! Thanks for making the video!!
i love these videos that show your opinion and love for music. i discovered at least five albums i love because of your top 20 albums video.
Where is my mind is from 1988! Wow that has blown my mind.
Pixes were really ahead of their time. I would have sworn to anyone that Surfa Rosa was a 90's album!
I really enjoy your content. Only found your channel a week or so ago. Keep up the great work.
A young guy picking Wichita Lineman nearly brought a tear to my eye. Didn't see that coming and a great choice IMO.
I just heard it for the first time based on the recommendation. Nah. Take any random song from Bob Dylan for that year.
it's an absolute classic
I adore Sergio Mendes' cover of the song ua-cam.com/video/x2Eofa_XRV8/v-deo.html
Great example of the Fender Bass VI with the hi cut switch engaged for the solo.
The way he mispronounced Glenn Campbell's name made me feel old, lol. It's like if someone mispronounced Elvis's name.
Guys, I think David might be a Radiohead fan
@@atomdecayYou say you know everything about music theory, (unlikely, usually the people who think they know everything actually know quite little), and then call creep a 4 axis chord song when it doesn't even include that chord progression. I, V, vi, IV ≠ I, III, IV, iv. Say what you want about a song being overplayed and all that but it pays to take a slice of humble pie and get off your high horse.
That can't be correct. He said: "Helas, 2016 was a Radiohead year". A real fan would never say that. ;-)
I think you might be right
You picked my favorite song “Don’t Dream It’s Over.” Always nice to see Crowded House get some respect.
Although odd to hear that respect given without as much as a mention of Split Enz.
@@danieldaniels7571 I love Crowded House but can't stand Split Enz. I think Neil is a genius. Tim, unfortunately drags him down.
I’m looking through my 1982 playlist and it’s an absolute wealth of great tunes.
Absolutely! The entire 80s is an absolute wealth IMHO.
A few of my faves from '82:
Private Investigations - Dire Straits
Abracadabra - The Steve Miller Band
I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls
Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran
Rock the Casbah - The Clash
Blue Eyes - Elton John
House of Fun - Madness
The Look of Love - ABC
Hold Me - Fleetwood Mac
Promised You a Miracle - Simple Minds
1999 - Prince
The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
Puttin On The Ritz - Taco
Living On The Ceiling - Blancmange
White Wedding - Billy Idol
I'm So Excited - The Pointer Sisters
Mad World - Tears for Fears
Let's Go To Bed - The Cure
Science Fiction - The Divinyls
I agree. I would put 1982 at the top of my list for great music. But almost NONE of the songs that charted that year would be on a list of my favorites. I think it just shows differences between the generations; if you weren't there to get exposed to the whole range of music, you don't have the full picture.
@@b.y.2460 You basically just said that 1982 was a great "filler track" year.... which is what David said in more polite terms too :P
that year's a big blindspot for me. off the top of my head i can't really think of anything except Subdivisions by Rush.
Seriously. 1982-1984 is an embarrassment of riches. Just for 1982 how about Eye in the Sky, Heat of the Moment, Pressure, Southern Cross, Hungry Like the Wolf, Maneater, Somebody's Baby, Steppin' Out, Our House, Who Can It Be Now, Safety Dance, 1999, More Than This, Edge of Seventeen, Do I Do, Africa...
I think it’s interesting that for you, the genre doesn’t stray far from pop. I think I would have a hard time not straying into funk, jazz, metal, rap, grunge, fusion, punk, prog, country, etc.
I'm shocked to hear him say that the 80s is his least favorite decade of music. By contrast, it's a contender for my favorite.
I have never clicked a video so fast! When I saw the title I thought "Hm, how have I not seen a video from David talking about his favorite songs?" then I saw the upload time & clicked so fast I probably rivalled the speed of light lol 😂
My fav of '66 is Paperback Writer
1968: "there's a song that I like EVEN MORE than a Beatles song"... shocked.
Oh but don’t worry, he didn’t forget about the Beatles in 1969!
Even though you went with a different song, I love that you mentioned Four Seasons in one Day, that song is amazing!

This is an amazing list.
I was like, "damn this is a good list" until I was like "waait a minute... isn't this just the RYM #1 song for each year? 🤣"
Me: "Wait, wasn't this video over 50 minutes long? We've already reached the 80s!"
My brain: "Well, there's 44 years left to cover."
Me: "...Oh. Yes. Of course." 😕
Brain: "1964 to 1980 was just 16 years."
Me: "Yes, yes, I know!" 😑
Brain: "Come to think of it, 44 years before 1980 would've been 1936."
Me: "WILL YOU SHUT UP?!"
I feel like this is a Homer Simpson Brain moment.
@@Chigger"Stupid Brain"

So do we think the music of 2008-2024 can compare to the music of 1964-1980? ;DD
So what's your favorite song from 1936?
Because I appreciate your tastes in music, when you mention something I haven't heard, I look forward to checking it out.
The Crowded House pick caught me off guard. Neil Finn is the most humble, talented person I have ever had the honour to meet and I think any musician wishes they had written some of his songs.
OK, who else went to check out 1982 releases? Our House (Madness). Rio (Duran Duran). Don’t You Want Me? (Human League). Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Cheers theme). Beat Surrender (The Jam). And my personal favourite, Happy Talk by Captain Sensible, which spent the same 2 weeks at number 1, as our family spent camping in the Lake District! Ah, memories.
Love the recognition you give to dire straits
Absolutely brilliant again David - loved it. It’s your love of music, songwriting etc - coupled with your musical expertise - that makes this so compelling

David, thank you for this. I watched the first half to confirm my biases, then stopped. But then I realized that aside from Radiohead, I know very little after 2001. I’ve built a “listen to” list from the albums you cited after that year (I’m 59).

I enjoyed this, David. Thanks.
The transition in the Beatles' music from 1964's And I Love Her to 1966's Tomorrow Never Knows is amazing
Yeah, I’m surprised they didn’t change their pronouns too. 😂
@@RC-qf3mpSchizo mentioning pronouns out of nowhere
It’s John Lennon’s innovation. It’s so strong.
@@DeKevers not out of nowhere. 99% of the time I hear the word “transition”, it’s about gender bs. Look at original post. Now turn on your brain.
@@RC-qf3mp ok boomer, you might want to clue in to reality yourself and look at some actual stats of how many estimated people actually transition genders. It's a tiny sliver compared to the rest of the population. You're looking for ragebait and arguments on something you don't agree with and no amount of complaining is going to change that the healthy thing to do is accept and understand gender diversity... because really, no gender police are coming after someone with an insufferable attitude like yours lol

turn this into a spotify playlist king
Yeah i loved when he streamed all these songs live it was brilliant. He might have the Spotify links on his second channel?
i love birdhouse in your soul, and they might be giants in general. i never really noticed the mixing at the beginning!! so cool! great creative group. my mom loved them they always make me think of her
After watching this video, i found out that my music taste is extremely similar to yours :D
There are so many songs on this list from the last 30 years which I have never heard.
And never will.
This video raises an interesting point regarding how people look at music differently. I don't think it would be possible for me to pick a favorite song for any given year. It's just too many songs to choose from, and it's hard for me to compare something as granular as an individual song. But I could definitely pick a favorite album for each year (though years in the early 1970s would be challenging, due to the large number of great albums in that period).
I think my perspective is shaped by the fact that I've always been drawn to listening to entire albums, and I haven't spent a lot of time listening to radio, or to streaming services that are song-focused rather than album-focused.
As someone who's always listened to parts of songs, songs and only a few years (10-12 I guess) really started to listen to albums I still think it's impossible for me to pick a favourite song/piece of a year. Firstly, because there are so many options, and secondly, because I often don't know the year a song came out, outside of the works of my favourite artists.
I'm thinking to myself, wow, this guy has a really diversified taste of music and then it turns into a I love Radiohead video. LoL. My observation is you like, or should I say love, what you heard or picked out in your youth to listen to and that's O.K. You are just great. When I was young I didn't have to go back decades because I had a transistor AM radio and new music was fresh and new every single day. Lucky me, my youth was in the 60's and 70's. Ya see, music back then was a matter of what your hear, not what you see. About ninety percent of what the brain takes in as information is through the eyes. If you let your eyes tell your ears what sounds good, and you will do this if you look before or while you listen, you may miss out.
Music history and perception of such as it has to do with culture is quite fascinating and interesting. We got AI music now. Where will that take us? I kind of like what I have heard that is AI generated because it seems to be that we have songs again that are similar to what I heard on the AM radio when I was a kid. Those AI robot vocals sound funny wierd, but they make good vocal melody's. They sing in key. Now, this is not to say the melody's are good because they are pitch perfect per say, it is to say the melody's are good because of the way they use and sing from a melodic in key a scale. Good Luck and God Bless.
I was very surprised that you didn't pick "Everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears for Fears (or any of their songs), that song is a common pick in those kinds of lists and I understand perfectly why, it perfectly scratches an itch inside of my brain.
I used to love that song, but it at some point I started to have enough of it and I haven't been enjoying it for the last few years.
He is a fan. He performed a lovely version of it that's on his other channel 🎼
obsessed with ur vids and love that u love radiohead as well
Thanks!

AWESOME!!!! Not a few of my own fav songs of all time are on your list. THANKS for the lovely memories your list evokes. That said, i'm QUITE impressed by your breadth of knowledge of popular music - from the splendid Unforgettable, to The Boxer, all the way to a lot of stuff i've never even heard of, after 2000. Kudos!!!
@altareggo Thanks so so much:):):):):):)
I recommend to listen to led Zeppelin they mad the best song ever stairway to heaven.
Im amazed that someone with such diverse tastes that tend to scew towards the pioneering and experimental music RARELY talks about King Crimson. One of the most influential (not generally popular, tho) bands of all time. Dare I say the most influential rock band? Yes. Why dont you talk about them? Im just so tired of every music youtuber either being completely ignorant to King Crimson's existence or just not giving them credit where credit is due. I feel like so many of these alternative fans would love King Crimson, theyre like the origin point. Frankly the lack of prog rock on here is baffling. The guy who talks about tons of modes, time signatures, fun rhythms... why?
Ja, I do not get why this happens .
not to sound rude, but I think the King Crimson fans to them a great disservice by being that antipathic
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

@@Aurla-R2-D2 Thank YOU! I had somehow never listened to Queen's "You Take my Breath Away" until yesterday when I saw your comment and I loved it! It really reminds me of Jacob Colliers stuff.
David, I hope you read this. I'm struck by the emotional content running through - hinting at loss in your life. I enjoy your educational content, including this, not just for the wide range (on non Radiohead years 🤣) but also the background, like with Snarky Puppy. I love more that you do so touching on your deeper life experiences. We need this, as an antidote to some other popular social media content.
10:15 the way you described the song being ahead of its time, I instantly knew which song it would be before you showed it. Crazy how one of the most iconic 80s songs of all time is actually a 70s song.
Glad to hear you like In My Place! Solid favourite coldplay song
I feel like Once in a Lifetime is actually cut from the same cloth as the rest of the songs from Remain in Light: a non melodic, essentially speech performed by David Bryne over an new wave, afrobeat influenced, dense soundscape, strung together by a repetitive, anthemic hook
Yeah, the whole album is solid. His comment was surprising
More of a Psycho Killer man myself.
@@terryenglish7132Houses In Motion, The Great Curve and Crosseyed and Painless are three other great songs from the album.
@@skullduggerMore Songs About Buildings and Food and Fear of Music are even better but some people don’t want to have that conversation 🤫
@@Azure1013 A smooth transaction for me. "Life During War Time" w Remain in Light production style would fit right in there
Thank you, David! It's interesting to watch 👍🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
uncanny - when you selected Once in a Lifetime, I thought, Senses Working Overtime could be next - and you did not disappoint! Loving it so far. Looking forward to the later years where my knowledge is more sketchy - you may be about to introduce me to some new great music. I wonder if you have any Orson in there...

Interesting that you chose "You'e my best friend" over any of the other songs from Night at the opera
Rappers Delight - I haven't heard that for ages - an hilarious (and good) song. 👍
Liked the inclusion of eels. ❤
Another Part Of Me? Interesting pick (with Bad and Dirty Diana competing, I didn't think this would win out).
interresting how the focus shifted from the point on when you were growing up consciously and listening to contemporary artists to the years you learned as part of a "history lesson"
my 1976 pick would be "don't fear the reaper" by blue oyster cult!
spotify recommend it to me two years ago, when I found out the track was released in 1976 my jaw was on the floor, it sounds like a stylized modern song (at least to me)!
That’s an all-time classic. However, kind of like what he said about that Talking Heads album, when I listened to the album, I felt that very few other tracks lived up to the quality of that song. I found this to be true throughout the blue oyster cold catalog unfortunately. When they hit though, they really hit
Incredible song. Great year in general
@@pensivepenguin3000Very true. Interestingly they had one hit each in the 70s, 80s, and 90s .
Don't Fear the Reaper would never be released as a single nowadays w its positive outlook toward teenage suicide
@@pensivepenguin3000 I highly suggest you relisten to secret treaties as that has no skips at all
Great Stuff 👍
I think life experiences strongly influence how much we appreciate or dislike music. I’m a little sentimental for 80s music because that was the decade when I was growing up.
My preferences are much different than yours, especially in later decades!
Qualifiers: no songs from movies, tv, musicals, contests, etc., only songs released as songs. Singles from albums are considered for the year they were released as singles, not for the year the album was released. Album tracks not released as singles are considered for the year the album was released.

Im definitively with you on 71, 78 and 85
Firth of fifth 💪💪💪
Thanks for giving BIg Love some love. One of the best live songs on UA-cam!
"riders on the storm" - absolutely iconic!
One song for every year of my life (so far)! A fun selection, and the vast majority of your early picks would be quite high in my lists (I could never pick just one song from a year, though). My least-favourite decade would probably be the 00s but there's good music in every decade (and age is definitely a factor). Thanks
25:13 "I love all types of Radiohead" I don't see any Pablo Honey on this list...
That’s true!!!
No Aphex Twin either, I was kind of surprised by that honestly, he has SO MUCH good music, especially from the 90s
@@-k-b- Pablo Honey is a Radiohead album, I'm pointing out that he said he loves all Radiohead but then completely ignored their first album.
@@laeclorentzen6111 ik lol, was also pointing out no Aphex. Radiohead have said multiple times how inspirational he was so I assumed David would be a fan.
Pablo Honey kinda boring in comparison to their entire discog, I think he was particularly pointing out The Bends onwards is their best material, which I agree with
@@-k-b- I mean yeah I definitely don't blame him for not picking any Pablo Honey but it's just kinda funny that he straight up pretends it doesn't exist.
Also, I see what you mean, I assumed you were one of the people just saying "why doesn't he like my personal favorite artist". I have never heard of Aphex Twin, I'll have to look into them.
Fantastic! Thanks for including The Lemon Twigs...their album A Dream Is All We Know is out of this world...melody, harmony, wonderful musicianship...and their live show at Concorde2 recently was sublime..can't get their tunes outta my head!
46:15 also West Coast quotes the guitar lick from the Beatles' And I Love Her, which may be one of the reasons why you like that very song from Ultraviolence😁
🫢😯
Wonderful job.
Great reflection of the music of your life.
Thanks for listening 😀
As a Rick Beato fan I will be stopping the video after 2002
Rick Beato’s a moron
That's pretty much where I stopped recognising (or being interested in) the chosen songs.
@@alanwilson1724 I was joking. The Lemon Twigs album is phenomenal and DB chose a lot of good music for the aughts
😂😂😂
@@alanwilson1724Thanks, Alan! Very cool!
Thankyou so much for this. I restarted after a 37 year break in a covers band and solo and have struggled to get ideas for modern songs.
David there must be some mistake, Creed has released four studio albums from 1997-2009.
😅😅😅
Yeah, and no Nickelback either
@davidbennettpiano a series like this for different genres would be fantastic. It’d be very entertaining to get a video like this for your song of the year for various specific genres since their early years/roots/inception.

David Bennett + The Lemon Twigs = Automatic click
I saw them live last week and they are absolutely excellent!
@@DavidBennettPiano So did I and yes they were!
This album is a disappointment
I was in agreement until you said you were disappointed with King of Limbs. That album is amazing! Such a good vibe. I listen to it straight through every time.
I cheated a bit with my 2008 pick, which was on a 2007 album, but released as a single in 2008, so I decided it counted, since it's my list and I really didn't wanna pick between the '07 and '08 songs, I figured I could fudge the numbers a little.

Love to see the pom poko love! Danger Baby specifically is one of my favourite songs of the decade, but what a strong album that is
Well, okay...I stopped at some point in the 90s and just tried to skim through the rest, but basically almost no black musicians, and maybe one woman? Or did I miss one?
That seems kind of strange, considering all the amazing singers and musicians through the decades who are female and people of colour!
Completely agree. When we got through the 60s and 70s without one female or Black artist I was done. I caught two woman Regina Spektor and Pheobe Bridges, and not a single Black artist. Out of 50 years. No Marvin, Otis, Donna Summer, Joni Mitchell. May unsubscribe, this is not an inclusive channel. This guy needs to broaden his horizon if he's gonna teach music history.
@@pj6100 this are his favourite songs, not "these songs are objectively good and everything else from this year sucks" christ get over yourself
Well David I am amazed at how in step we are; from the Beatles to Radiohead and the other many acts we both enjoy. I was won over right from the start when you praised one of my all time favourite songs, Wichita Lineman; such a beautiful 3 minute experience. Love your picks, although I think we do part company in the 90s with the exception of Radiohead. Thank you for all the effort and I will look out for more of your content.

We definitely share a few favorites. I love Riders on the Storm. Big fan of Once in a Lifetime, as well. Pleasantly surprised about the shout-out to the Lemon Twigs at the end, as well.
YYZ MENTIONED YAY
The 1980s is my favorite decade for music. Probably because I was 11-20 years of age through that decade. I've always felt that even the worst song of the 1980s was better than the best song of the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and what we've gotten of the 2020s so far.
Lots of great singles in the 80s. BTW this may seem weird, but I saw your face in a dream
They were still selling singles in the 1980s, CD killed the singles market.
@@fredo1070 Maybe just albums were better in general. I have lots of CD singles and EPs . I think its just that a new generation weren't use to stacking 45s , but playing albums so having not been use to singles in any form, they didn't buy them
@@simonmacomber7466 I first started to listen to music just before the Beatles. I liked both the 80s and 90s . But if you grew up in the 80s , I can see why you don't like the 90s. Those decades are in harmony w 2 aspects of 60s music. But 2 very different ones....The only music era I don't like is the 70s disco/punk era. But no problem, I'd just put on some Weather Report or Mahavishnu.
Great video. Showing my age here. Apart from Radiohead , I never heard of most of the artists chosen from the past 20 years. Delighted though that Crowded House ‘Don’t Dream etc.’ is one of your favourites. We all love the Beatles, but there should be space for ‘God Only Knows’ - a true masterpiece.
You were born in 93…I am so old and you are wise beyond your years David.
😃😄
Really enjoyed an insight into your favourite songs and inspirations. Much like you love Radiohead and the Beatles.
6o's had Jimi, Cream, The who, The Kinks and Rolling stones.... Respect is needed
E.g Castles made of sand in '67
The lyric on “Cadtles Made of Sand” is a standout among Jimi Hendrix’s lyrics. Musically, the album is solid top to bottom.
Jimi's Little Wing. Surely the Stone's Jumpin' Jack Flash is the greatest song of all time.
very interesting to listen to someone much younger than me choose their great songs. You are a wonderful teacher and musician.... but i was so surprised how rarely i liked your choices!!
I tried listening to some of the bands you recommended but they were too .... i dont know. they just didnt 'grab' me. but interesting and thanks for your videos.
David - a real challenge would be a list with no Beatles or Radiohead. I know, almost impossible! I like the suggestion earlier to do a list with Albums.
