Ha! I've done 13, just to show I'm not regimented, I'm not tied to a number, not 10, not 100, not 101. Well, I am tied to 101, actually - this is without doubt the penultimate post of this blog, and in a way the last true one, as you shall see. Freedom awaits!
This list here is here to show that lists are cool, lists are art, these are cool songs, sometimes beautiful songs, and they're lists, so if people think lists are for losers, they are wrong wrong wrong. They're not all entirely lists, but they all are strongly list-based, and I feel their emotional heart lies in the list. What Manic Street Preachers lyric is better known than "I am stronger than Mensa, Mailer and Miller, I spat out Plath and Pinter."? "We don't talk about love, we only want to get drunk" - Yes, that one's better known, and about twenty others, but you get the point.
The most joyful list here is in Scottish Pop by Spearmint - they a band who rather mastered the list song - if i'd been short of numbers I could have included another couple by them - they are a very geeky band.
I'll say more when I get to the last post about lists and this whole big list, but here is a list, as inspired by something said by TV's MB one cruel day:
