Dude! I didn't expect anybody else to choose those. Those are two of my choices as well.

And no Penetrators... I quit SG101. I hate what this thread has caused me to become. I'm a monster, don't look at me.

Don't worry Jake. Niels will combine everyone's votes into a list of 101 and we'll get to listen to them all. That is, assuming we can manage a unique set of 101 songs. We'll need more voters. Smile

Still thinking about my lists. It is very hard.

The modern surf will have no problem getting to 101, that is going to be an issue for first wave...

It is very hard!

There've got to be many candidates here. But many of them might be too obscure to be people's favorites. Lots of terrific songs, though.

Sorry, wrong thread.

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

Hey Jake, I am not that surprised actually. From reading your posts during the last one and a half year I knew already that we are into a lot of the same music (and that isn't limited to surf). But I wouldn't have guessed that you would also include "Everybody Up" in your classic top ten. I thought you would probably have chosen "Little Ollie" or "Margaya" instead (which are of course also great).

Interestingly I found chosing ten modern surf songs harder than picking ten classics,

It was fairly easy for me to come up with 10 classics, I think because the releases were singles, rather than albums. I think many would agree that The Madeira are one of the top 10 modern bands, but it's improbable for us to agree on what their definitive song would be. Whereas, even though The Chantays released a several albums, it's clear that Pipeline is their signature song, mostly because it was a hit single.
Anyway, I'm working on it.

Ferenc, that of course only happens, when you approach the list with the idea of representing bands through signature or "definitve" songs, which I didn't even try. I just made a list of the bands I like and then chose the song by them I like the most. And that doesn't necessarily have to be the most representative... The thing was probably just that I have more CDs by modern surfbands than classics.

Just to encourage everyone who thinks "How can I possibly come up with a definitve list?": Just don't! Make a list of personal favorites instead. Nobody here will say: "You dind't include 'Intruder', which tells us you know nothing about surf music. Get out!" (hopefully) Wink

That is what I thought to but actually with little over 20 lists done we are already at 101 classic titles Smile

I went with "Holy Shit!" moments– Songs that, from the second I heard them, made me change course, ramp up my desire to be a better player and songwriter, perfectly captured a mood and time, and were complete constructs (melody, groove, arrangements). They may not have changed the path and growth of surf music for everyone, but they did for me. This list should be a lot longer.

"Bells of St.Kahuna" - Slacktone
"Cactus" - Brazil 2001
"Western"- King of Hawaii
"Silver Coast" - Insect Surfers
"Nomad"- Aqua Velvets
"Intruder" - Surf Coasters
"Ocean Beach"- Mermen
"Solaris Stomp" - The Space Cossacks
"Cumana" - Los Twang! Marvels
"Mobius Transformation" - The TomorrowMen
"Surfers Anthem" - Evan Foster

Don't know all the songs or bands (enjoy alot from different bands) but nothing gets me fired up like the Ghastly Ones (and to a lesser extent, MOAM)!!

I chose songs that I have long been addicted to and happily listen to repeatedly. Most seem to expand my feeling of what can be done as a musician. All are hedonistic pleasures. In no particular order:

  1. Hayride to Hell - The Irreversible Slacks
  2. Summer - The Baronics
  3. Kremlin Karamel (AKA Kreml De La Kreml) - The Beat Tornados
  4. Nokken Surfacing - The Beat Tornados
  5. Deutsch Bag - Double Naught Spy Car
  6. You Jerk - El Fiendo
  7. Odie Hit Me First - El Fiendo
  8. Los Bomberas Borachos - Austin Transit Authority
  9. Rockula - Los Straitjackets
  10. Saturation - The Slackmates

Numbers 1 through 8 all gave me "what was that??!!!" reactions.
My sources for El Fiendo's amazing music are only their MySpace site and their band website. No CD! Their website deserves an award for dramatic art.

This is a tough task for me, partly because I love so many bands, and partly because I know so many bands.

My solution (or cop-out) is to state unequivocally that bands that I am fortunate enough to be good friends with happen to be amongst my very favorites and have written many of the very best modern surf songs. Bands like Pollo Del Mar/ Frankie &PBs, The Madeira/Space Cossacks, Satan's Pilgrims, Slacktone, Aqualads, Insect Surfers, Meltones, The Pyronauts, Secret Samurai to name a bunch. So I'm leaving them off the list and concentrating on bands I don't know personally.

It's cheating but so what, I gotta do something to slim down the playing field. Big Grin My itunes was no help, as all those bands I mentioned fill up the most played list. Apologies to all my friends, whom I hope top the list at the final count.

  1. The Bambi Molesters - Theme from Slaying Beauty
  2. The Exotics - Shanghai
  3. The Falcons - Shadowland
  4. The Huntington Cads - Never to Return
  5. The Kilaueas - Catharsis
  6. Laika and the Cosmonauts - NY'79
  7. Los Twang Marvels - Sea of Glory
  8. The Mermen - Scalp Salad
  9. Nebulas - Cosmos 954
  10. Phantom IV - 4U

Honorable mention goes to the Baronics entire album Get Bach!
