In praise of Numbers

[A380]

Where would music be without a top 10 or top 20? A vital contibution.

 

[Sue]

I thought this was special thread about Numbers...

I was obsessed by the charts as a teenager , I rarely know who is number 1 now.

Numbers or lists? There have been many books devoted to lists over the years.

I’ve got a list of best charts somewhere. Probably needs updating.

Doesn't matter who it is, they're all just algorithms anyway.

Absolutely no move at number seven, it's up three for The Portilloheads' 'Give Me a Professional Neck', mixed by themselves then unmixed by DJ Mrs Clarke from Egham.

Magic Numbers?

Numbers stations. Combined with a one time pad they offered unbreakable one way communication between an intelligence agency and officers or agents in the target country.

Some argue this psychedelic power pop band was where Julian Michael Scanlan produced some of his finest work. I'll stop now

Can't leave this out:

I love numbers, because without numbers you couldn't have the 1960s, and without the 1960s you couldn't have 1960s girl groups, and without 1960s girl groups you couldn't have the Marvelettes, and without the Marvelettes you couldn't have Beechwood 4-5789. A song that, by an amazing coincidence... HAS NUMBERS IN IT.

Ask anyone to name the top 50 Leeds post-punk revival bands of the mid-2000s in history, and it's quite likely that they'll mention ¡Forward, Russia! A band who loved numbers so much... that they named all their songs after numbers. Until they stopped doing it.

 

[hitmouse]

Ask anyone to name the top 50 Swiss grindcore bands in history, and it's quite likely that they'll mention Mumakil. A band who loved numbers so much... that they named all their songs after numbers. At least on one of their albums.

Ask anyone to name the top 50 people who self-released a one-person cybergrind EP right at the start of the pandemic in history, and it's quite likely that they'll mention Officegrinder. A person who loved numbers so much... that they named all their songs from COVID-1 to COVID-19.

What's everyone's favourite number of cigarettes to have in an ashtray?


I can't remember exactly what the theme of this song is, but I assume it's probably an upbeat ditty about how much fun it is to smoke three fags at the same time.

Have you heard Bob Dorough's Multiplication Rock album that De La Soul sampled that from? I Got Six is a funky classic too:
