Deathray 2,940 Posted January 26, 2019 Just now, Joey Russ said: No If it's neither Sunday Morning or Heroin and it's from Velvet Underground & Nico then your opening gambit that it's one of the most critically acclaimed songs on the album is a falsehood! It could be any of the also-ran songs; Venus in Furs or I'm Waiting for the Man would be the next rung down but frankly you've already shown your clue to be a falsehood.

Deathray 2,940 Posted January 26, 2019 41 minutes ago, Joey Russ said: It is that one, and yes, it has appeared on a lot of greatest songs list, so it’s not a falsehood... It's however nowhere near as critically acclaimed as Heroin or Sunday Morning. "Most" is indicative of being at the top end of a spectrum, 3rd is definitely not most among ten. Any as I'm too lazy to think of a new one, here's another couple my crossword: Hard one: An abode of little stability for games (song title) (5,2,5) Why's there water in my desert pilgrimadge (band) (6,5) Or the easy one: Ensure termination of the pronoun (song title) (4,2,4) tidal waters harass the sand in this manner (band) (4,5) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Most" is indicative of being at the top end of a spectrum, 3rd is definitely not most among ten. In Rolling Stone’s magazine list of the 500 greatest songs of all time (just to use them as an example), I’m Waiting For The Man was at #161, Heroin was at #455, and Sunday Morning didn’t appear on it at all. So that might contradict the trend you think they have... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rolling Stones magazines is mainstream tosh and I suggest their rag being used as a barometer for critical acclaim is an indication of insanity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
