And you had forgotten
On This Day 1985:
"In 1985, "We Are the World," a song composed by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and recorded by a series of high-profile music stars was released worldwide with the goal of generating funds for the USA for Africa charity. The song and related promotions eventually raised about $63 million. "
And you had forgotten
(I mean "Knocking On Heaven's Door" the highest ranking Dylan song at #5 (!?)). 
Thanks for posting this, Zeebs! Will have to check it out before it's gone.So Sirius XM channel 30 has been doing a special station of Top 1000 Songs repeating the series until I think March 15
As with any list/ranking, I found myself interested and listened. As I've stated before I have very fond memory of the July 4/Memorial Day countdown of WNEW in New York counting down the top 1027 songs (WNEW is 102.7) when I was in high school/college
Like WNEW, the countdown is focused on rock songs (channel 30 is in the middle of Sirius XM's rock channels) but a bit disappointed they didn't broaden the scope beyond "classic rock" - they have stations for early alternative, alternative, 90s rock. Why not include bigger groups like The Smiths or Nirvana?
Still I listened and it prompted a lot of discussion with my wife, son about what and where things deserved to be. I did the most griping of course
And of course, I pontificated on how things would be "if I made a list". My wife countered that she felt that I'd never make a list - and she's probably right. It might drive me insane trying to squeeze all my favorites into one list. Indeed, I put together a quick 1965 list of wonderful/fun/favorite songs from 1965 alone as my gym, morning playlist yesterday and it wound up being 100 songs (!) - it's a really good year in my defense. Still, imagine pairing that down to, say, 10-25 songs that would have to stand side by side with great songs of other years. Yikes! Still fun to imagine
After a few plays, the silence will be replaced by gentle hissing and the occasional pop.
Horslips - The Book of Invasions: A Celtic Symphony (1976)
Celtic folk/prog - how have I missed this one? Well, remedying it now
Interesting read. You can't blame them for not wanting to maintain terabytes of uploads when people regard them as "oh, is that still around?" Although, I think I would have tried to send out a mass email to say "We're not supporting this stuff anymore. Download it by <some date> if you want it back."
