The 100 Greatest Horror Soundtracks (Fact, 2014)

Deep red Suspiria

From Fact:

It’s Halloween week, so here’s our equivalent of a well-stocked goodie cauldron: FACT’s guide to the 100 greatest horror scores of all time. (...) The following list runs the gamut from curios to blockbusters, from fan-assembled bootlegs to charting LPs. Cult classics and video nasties are amply represented: for every Carpenter and Craven flick, there’s a Surf Nazis Must Die or Slumber Party Massacre. Bear in mind however that this is a list of original soundtracks, which eliminates classics such as The Shining, The Exorcist and, err, The Return of the Living Dead.

I spotified it. Or, well, I tried. It seems that Spotify have some great problems with horror movie soundtracks: just 37 albums are available (sometimes with only one or two tracks of them). Anyway, I think these playlists are a good halloween snack for fangorians. If you want a more complete and satisfying meal, check Fact for a YouTube playlist and some good infos for each album.

Enjoy!

50 Best Cover Songs of All Time (BBC)

Resistance is futile: Pet Shop Boys are always on your mind

From BBC:

The Pet Shop Boys' Always On My Mind has been voted the top cover version of all time in a BBC Music vote. The song, written by John Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson, was first made famous by Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley in 1972. (...) The public voted for their favourites from a top 50 compiled by BBC producers and DJs including Fearne Cotton Trevor Nelson, Simon Mayo and Steve Lamacq.

Ok the Pet Shop Boys, but what about the rest of the chart? Here it comes in shiny Spotify version, with Johnny Cash, Jeff Buckley, Muse, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Led Zeppelin, The Fugees (one time), Jimi Hendrix (two times) and many more.

Enjoy!

100 Greatest Neil Young Songs (Rolling Stone)

One of the most popular Spotirama posts is about the Top 50 Neil Young songs compiled by british magazine Mojo in 2011. Now it's time to double it, literally. Last january Rolling Stone published a Neil Young Special Collector's Edition issue, including a Top 100 of his songs. Here it comes, in all its Spotify splendour.

Some trivia, before pushing the play button:

• In the top 20 the two charts are quite similar: even if in different positions, 15 songs are the same. 
• Both include Buffalo Springfield and CSNY songs. 
• While After the Gold Rush album is the most present album in the Mojo chart, in Rolling Stone's Top 100 it stops at #3 (6 songs in the playlist), after Harvest and Tonight's the Night (both with 7 songs).

Enjoy!

Top 20 John Lennon Songs (as solo artist)

He doesn't know it, but John Lennon is on Spotify. All his eight post-Beatles albums have finally been made available on the service, along with three compilations. In order to celebrate the news, I made a little crowdsourced playlist, like the one I did last year for grunge songs. I took twelve John Lennon charts from the Web and I counted 10 points for the #1 song, 9 points for #2, 8 points for #3, etc. The result is the following Top 20. 

Guess the #1. ;-)

1. Imagine (84 points)

2. Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) (70)

3. Woman (45)

4. Jealous Guy (42)

5. Watching the Wheels (35)

6. (Just Like) Starting Over (34)

7. Working Class Hero (31)

8. Mother (27)

9. Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (26)

10. God (22)

11. Love (19)

12. #9 Dream (18)

13. Whatever Gets You Thru the Night (14)

14. Give Peace a Chance (11)

14. Mind Games (11)

14. Bless You (11)

17. Isolation (10)

18. Crippled Inside (9)

19. Cold Turkey (8)

19. Out the Blue (8)

Just out of the Top 20 are Nobody Told Me, Look At Me, Remember and Gimme Some Truth.

Then I spotified it.

These are the charts I built the Top 20 on:
