The book <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2012/03/top-100-albums-of-all-time.html">Top 100 Albums of All Time</a></i> was published by Dave’s Music Database in 2014. It aggregated more than 150 <A HREF="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/links.html#alltimebestalbums">best-of lists</a> from all manner of music publications and entities and crunching those figures into a database along with <A HREF="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/links.html#sales">sales figures</a>, <a href="/Davemusic/links.html#charts">chart results</a>, <A HREF="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/links.html#reviews">critical ratings</a>, and various <A HREF="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/links.html#awards">awards</a>. (Click links to see detailed sources).
<p>
The book only featured one album from the 21st century (Eminem’s <i>The Marshall Mathers LP</i>) and, frankly, if I were to revise the book I’d re-focus it just on the 20th century. Either way, this book serves as a sequel, keying in on the top 100 albums of the 21st century. Here are the results:

<!—About -->
Grunge rock trio from Aberdeen, Washington. Singer/guitarist <a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.co/Davemusic/acts/C.html#kurt_cobain">Kurt Cobain</a> (1987-94) and bassist <a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/acts/N.html#krist_novoselic">Krist Novoselic</a> (1987-94) formed the band in 1987 with drummer Chad Channing (1987-90). Other members included guitarist Jason Everman (1989), drummer Dan Peters (1990), and drummer <a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/acts/G.html#dave_grohl">Dave Grohl</a> (1990-94).
<p>
They became the most iconic group of the 1990s with their blockbuster album <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2011/09/nirvanas-nevermind-is-released.html">Nevermind</a></i> and its anthemic “<a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/1991/09/nirvana-charted-with-smells-like-teen.html">Smells Like Teen Spirit</a>,” which ranks as one of <a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2008/05/the-top-100-songs-of-all-time.html">the top 10 songs of all time</a> according to the DMDB. They released one more studio album, 1993’s <i><a href="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/1993/09/nirvana-in-utero-released.html">In Utero</a></i>, before Kurt Cobain tragically committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 27. He has been celebrated as the voice of a generation.
<p>
Grohl went on to form the <a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/acts/F.html#foo_fighters">Foo Fighters</a> who are still active today and have been inducted into the <a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2012/12/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-inductees.html">Rock and Roll Hall of Fame</a> alongside Nirvana.

These are my personal favorites. To offer some context, I was in grade school in the ‘70s and middle school through college in the ‘80s. As is the case with most people, it is the music of my youth which most dictates my personal tastes. Under each bio is a link to the acts’ DMDB encyclopedia entry or profile page. Beside the act’s photo are ten songs I’ve picked to represent the act.

<p><h3>Overview:</h3>
Singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow became one of the most popular mainstream rock artists in the 1990s with her “fresh, updated spin on classic roots rock” <sup>SH</sup> with “sunny, good-time rockers and world-weary ballads.” <sup>SH</sup> “Her albums were loose and eclectic on the surface, yet were generally tied together by polished, professional songcraft.” <sup>SH</sup> “Her production not only kept pace with contemporary trends, but sometimes even pushed the envelope of what sounds could be heard on a classicist rock album, especially on her self-titled sophomore effort. All of this made Crow one of the most dependable stars of the decade.” <sup>SH</sup>
<p><h3>Early Years (1962-1992)</h3>
She was the third of four children and “her parents had both performed in swing orchestras, her father on trumpet and her mother as a singer; her mother was also a piano teacher, and ensured that all her daughters learned the instrument starting in grade school. Crow wrote her first song at age 13, and majored in music at the University of Missouri, where she also played keyboards in a cover band called Cashmere. After graduating, she spent a couple of years in St. Louis working as a music teacher for autistic children. She sang with another cover band, P.M., by night, and also recorded local advertising jingles on the side.” <sup>SH</sup>
<p>
“In 1986, Crow packed up and moved to Los Angeles to try her luck in the music business. She was able to land some more jingle-singing assignments, and got her first big break when she successfully auditioned to be a backup singer on Michael Jackson’s international <i>Bad</i> tour. In concert, she often sang the female duet part on ‘I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,’ and was inaccurately rumored by the tabloids to have been Jackson’s lover. After spending two years on the road with Jackson, Crow resumed her search for a record deal, but found that record companies were only interested in making her a dance-pop singer, which was not at all to her taste.” <sup>SH</sup> “Crow also sang in the short-lived Steven Bochco drama, <i>Cop Rock</i>, in 1990. The following year, she performed <b>Hundreds of Tears</b>, which was included in the <i>Point Break</i> soundtrack.” <sup>WK</sup>
<p>
“She revived her career as a session vocalist…and performed with the likes of Sting, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Foreigner, Joe Cocker, Sinead O’Connor, and Don Henley, the latter of whom she toured with behind <i>The End of the Innocence</i>. She also developed her songwriting skills enough to have her compositions recorded by the likes of Wynonna Judd, Celine Dion, and Eric Clapton.” <sup>SH</sup>

After building a resume as a session singer, Sheryl Crow connected with producer Hugh Padgham, who got her signed to A&M. The resulting album was intended for release on September 22, 1992. However, “Padgham’s pop leanings resulted in a slick, ballad-laden record that didn’t reflect the sound Crow wanted.” <sup>SH</sup> The label shelved the album.
<p>
A different version of “Hundreds of Tears” appeared on the <i>Point Break</i> soundtrack. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070819235121/http://jasonrh.com/sc1992.htm">Read more about the album here</a>.

<p><hr noshade width=100%><p><font color=red><b>About the Album:</B></font><p>
After her failed effort at an album in 1992, Sheryl Crow found herself part of a loose collective of musicians, thanks to her boyfriend Kevin Gilbert. The group, dubbed the Tuesday Night Music Club, consisted of Bill Bottrell, David Baerwald, David Ricketts [the latter two formerly of David & David], Brian MacLeod, and Dan Schwartz. They gathered weekly at Bottrell’s recording studio in Pasadena to “to drink, jam, and work out material. In this informal, collaborative setting, Crow was able to get her creative juices flowing again, and the group agreed to make its newest member – the only one with a recording contract – the focal point.” <sup>SH</sup>
<p>
This resulted in Crow’s album named after the group. Lead single <b>Run Baby Run</b> failed to make much impact and <b>Leaving Las Vegas</b> reached the lower half of the <i>Billboard</i> Hot 100, thanks to it sharing a title with the film of the same name. However, the release of <b>All I Wanna Do</b> changed everything. It went to #2 and “<i>Tuesday Night Music Club</i> started flying out of stores.” <sup>SH</sup> She ended up with Grammy wins for Best New Artist, Best Female Rock Vocal, and Record of the Year (the latter two for “All I Wanna Do”) and the album became a blockbuster.

After Sheryl Crow’s monstrous success with <i>Tuesday Night Music Club</i> and becoming a Grammy favorite, she had a falling out with most of the collective that helped produce that album. They saw her as taking more credit for the songwriting than she deserved. When John O’Brien, who wrote the book <i>Leaving Las Vegas</i> on which the subsequent film was based and served as the inspiration for the song from <i>Tuesday Night Music Club</i>, committed suicide and Kevin Gilbert, Crow’s ex-boyfriend and member of the Tuesday Night Music Club, died from autoerotic asphyxiation.
<p>
Crow was determined to “prove her legitimacy with her second album,” <sup>SH</sup> showing “that she could cut it without her estranged collaborators.” <sup>SH</sup> The album wasn’t without controversy; it was banned by Wal-Mart because her song <b>Love Is a Good Thing</b> suggested guns sold by the chain easily fell into the hands of children. There were also “songs about abortion, homelessness and nuclear war.” <sup>WK</sup>
<p>
She got more love from the Grammys with a Best Rock Album win and another Best Female Rock Vocal, this time for lead single <b>If It Makes You Happy</b>.

After her first two albums, Sheryl Crow was tapped to sing the title song for the 1997 James Bond film <i>Tomorrow Never Dies</i>. The next year, she was back with <i>The Globe Sessions</i>, “a more straightforward, traditionalist rock record than <i>Sheryl Crow</i>.” <sup>SH</sup> It “didn’t dominate the airwaves in quite the same fashion, but it did become her third straight platinum-selling, Top Ten LP, and it won her another Grammy for Best Rock Album.” <sup>SH</sup>
<p>
“During this period, she discussed in interviews having gone through a deep depression, and there was speculation about a brief affair with Eric Clapton. The debut single from this album, <b>My Favorite Mistake</b>, was rumored to be about him, although Crow claims otherwise about a philandering ex-boyfriend.” <sup>WK</sup> She won another Grammy for Best Rock Vocal for <b>There Goes the Neighborhood</b>.
<p>
Later pressings of the album included Crow’s cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “<a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2012/06/guns-n-roses-charted-with-sweet-child-o.html">Sweet Child O’ Mine</a>,” first featured on the <I>Big Daddy</i> soundtrack.

It featured guest artists Eric Clapton, the Dixie Chicks, Chrissie Hynde, Sarah McLachlan, Stevie Nicks, and Keith Richards. Unfortunately, the album was a commercial disappointment coming nowhere close to the multi-platinum, top-ten status of her previous three albums.

Crow was derailed by a case of writer’s block after 1998’s <i>The Globe Sessions</i>, taking more than three years before producing the follow-up, <i>C’mon, C’mon</i>. Before that, she produced a few tracks on Stevie Nicks’ 2001 album, <i>Trouble in Shangri-La</i>, and recorded <b>Picture</b>, a duet with Kid Rock featured on his <i>Cocky</i> album. It became the second-biggest hit of her career, only behind “All I Wanna Do,” peaking at #4.
<p>
<i>C’mon, C’mon</i> became Crow’s fourth top-ten, multi-platinum studio album. “The lead single, <b>Soak up the Sun</b>, was a Top 20 hit and another ubiquitous radio smash.” <sup>SH</sup> She took home yet another Grammy for Female Rock Vocal Performance for <b>Steve McQueen</b>, the album’s second single. The album also featured “Safe and Sound,” which was introduced 9/21/2001 when Sheryl Crow played it for the televised 9/11 benefit <i>America: A Tribute to Heroes</i>.

In 2004, Crow worked on the <i>Alfie</i> soundtrack, dueting with Mick Jagger on <b>Old Habits Die Hard</b>. In September 2005, she got engaged to cyclist Lance Armstrong, whom she started dating in 2003, but they split in February 2006.
<p>
She also released <i>Wildflower</i>, her fifth studio album. It was another top-ten, multi-platinum affair. Lead single <b>Good Is Good</b> failed to reach the top 40 but a re-recorded version of <b>Always on Your Side</b> with Sting was a success.

In 2006, Crow contributed <b>Real Gone</b> to the soundtrack of the Disney/Pixar animated film <i>Cars</i>. The next year, she adopted a son who she named Wyatt Steven Crow. In 2008, Crow was back with <i>Detours</i>, her sixth studio album. It was her fifth consecutive album to peak at #2 but failed to reach the multi-platinum status all her other studio efforts had achieved. Crow said, “The songs are very inspired by the last three years of events in my life,” <sup>WK</sup> which included a battle with breast cancer in 2006 and her split with Lance Armstrong.

That was the only song to chart, but Crow did find herself in familiar territory by yet again reaching the top-ten on the album chart.

For Sheryl Crow’s previous album, <i>Feels Like Home</i>, she leaned heavily into country. Here she returns to the adult alternative sound that she cultivated in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Now that she was a “legacy” artist, however, the album didn’t garner much attention beyond her loyal fan base, failing to chart any songs.

<p><hr noshade width=100%><p><font color=red><b>About the Album:</B></font><p>
At the time of <i>Threads</i>’ release, Sheryl Crow made a lot of noise about this being her last studio album. To her credit, she intended to go out with a bang, turning the album into a massive collaborative project where she worked with legends, friends, and newer artists including Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Chuck D, Emmylou Harris, Don Henley, Jason Isbell, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Keith Richards, Mavis Staples, Chris Stapleton, James Taylor, Joe Walsh, and Neil Young. Most of the songs were originals, but she also included covers of <b>Everything Is Broken</b> (Bob Dylan), <b>The Worst</b> (The Rolling Stones, <i>Beware of Darkness</b> (Eric Clapton), and others.
<p>
The highlight is <b>Redemption Day</b>, which Crow originally wrote and released on her 1996 self-titled sophomore effort. Johnny Cash recorded a cover of it in 2003 that was released posthumously on his 2010 album <i>American VI: Ain’t No Grave</i>. The version here represents some studio wizardry which spliced his version together with Crow to create a powerful duet that outshines either of their solo versions.
<p>
Thankfully her proclamation that this would be her last album proved to be untrue.

<p>* songs which hadn’t appeared on a previous Sheryl Crow album
<p><hr noshade width=100%><p><font color=red><b>About the Album:</B></font><p>
In Stephen Thomas Erlewine’s <a href="https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/sheryl-crow-sheryl-music-from-the-feature-documentary/"><i>Pitchfork</i> review</a>, he quotes Crow from her <i>Sheryl</i> documentary as saying, “There’s a weird thing that happens when you become a ‘legacy artist.’ It’s sort of a sideways compliment. It’s like, ‘OK, you’ve stood the test of time but also you’re old and you just haven’t gone away.’” He explains that she balances “the core of her catalog—the songs that have stood the test the time—with the music she’s made as a legacy artist who no longer visits the upper reaches of the <i>Billboard</i> Hot 100. Partly a greatest hits collection, partly a testimonial to Crow’s endurance, <i>Sheryl: Music From the Feature Documentary</i> leans heavily into the bookends of her career.”
<p>
Among the soundtrack’s songs are a live version of “Real Gone,” originally from the <i>Cars</i> soundtrack. It also has new tracks “Forever,” “Still the Same,” and “Live with Me.”

Albums of the Year, 1958-2023</h2></TD></TR></table><table width=645 cellpadding=10 border=10 bordercolor="red"><TR><TD bgcolor="#fdedec"><p>
The Grammys are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. The Album of the Year is considered the most prestigious of the awards, having been presented since 1959. The award goes to the artst, songwriter, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. Note: the year listed is when the album was eligible; the award was given the following year. That means, for example, that the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards were held on January 26, 2020, to acknowledge recordings released between October 1, 2018 and August 31, 2019.

Albums of the Year Revisited</h2></TD></TR></table><table width=645 cellpadding=10 border=10 bordercolor="red"><TR><TD bgcolor="#fdedec"><p>
The Grammy for Album of the Year, given out annually since 1959, (<A HREF="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2020/01/grammys-album-of-year.html">see list here</a>) is probably the most coveted award in the music industry. However, each year debate is sparked about whether the right album got the final nod. Here the DMDB compares the winner each year to its other nominees. Based on overall DMDB points, this list will show if the highest-ranked nominee each year won or not.

<hr>This list doesn’t even take into consideration albums which didn’t get nominated and should have. Some contests admittedly had very worthy candidates pitted against each other, such as OutKast <i><a href="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2004/02/outkast-win-album-of-year-with.html">Speakerboxxx/The Love Below</a></i> vs. the White Stripes <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2003/04/the-white-stripes-elephant-released.html">Elephant</a></i> or Eric Clapton’s <i>Unplugged</i> vs. U2’s <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/1991/11/u2-released-achtung-baby-november-19.html">Achtung Baby</a></i>. In other cases, such as <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/1992/12/dec-12-1992-bodyguard-soundtrack-hit-1.html">The Bodyguard</a></i> soundtrack vs. R.E.M.’s <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2011/10/rem-released-automatic-for-people.html">Automatic for the People</a></i> or Celine Dion’s <i><a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/D/dion-celine/falling-into-you.html">Falling into You</a></i> vs. Beck’s <i><a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/B/beck/odelay.html">Odelay</a></i> the higher-ranked album would have been a more creative pick, but it is no surprise that the Grammys went with the more middle-of-the-road option.
<p>
Still other times it is hard to fathom how a classic such as Pink Floyd’s <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2012/11/pink-floyd-released-wall-november-30.html">The Wall</a></i> can’t boast Grammy-winning status while <i><a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/C/cross-christopher/christopher-cross.html">Christopher Cross</a></i> can. Vaughn Meader’s comedy album <i>The First Family</i> over Ray Charles’ <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2011/06/ray-charles-modern-sounds-goes-to-1.html">Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music</a></i>? Herbie Hancock’s <i><a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/H/hancock-herbie/river-the-joni-letters.html">River: The Joni Letters</a></i> instead of Amy Winehouse <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2006/10/amy-winehouses-back-to-black-released.html">Back to Black</a></i>? It’s also hard to not refer to the awards as the “Grannies” when they opt to honor Steely Dan for <i><a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/S/steely-dan/two-against-nature.html">Two Against Nature</a></i> TWO DECADES past their prime compared to Eminem at the height of his powers with <i><a href="http://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2000/06/eminem-hit-1-with-marshall-mathers-lp.html">The Marshall Mathers LP</a></i>. Alas. It is what it is.

The Day the Music Died</h2>

At the onset of 1959, Buddy Holly, J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, and Ritchie Valens were three of the biggest rockers around. Holly had scored hits like “<a href="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2007/07/fifty-years-ago-today-buddy-holly.html">That’ll Be the Day</a>” and “<a href="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2007/10/50-years-ago-buddy-holly-peggy-sue.html">Peggy Sue</a>.” Richardson’s biggest hit was the top 10 “<a href="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2008/08/50-years-ago-big-bopper-chantilly-lace.html">Chantilly Lace</a>” and Valens, only 17, was just getting started with his #2 hit “Donna” and the iconic “<a href="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2008/11/50-years-ago-la-bamba-hit-charts.html">La Bamba</a>.”
<p>
Along with Dion & the Belmonts, the trio of rockers embarked on a Winter Dance Party Tour set to hit 24 Midwestern cities over three weeks. On February 2, they performed at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Holly was frustrated with the unheated tour bus and needed extra time to do laundry so he chartered a plane for himself and his bandmates Waylon Jennings and Tommy Alsup. However, Jennings gave up his seat to Richardson who had the flu, and Alsup lost a coin toss with Valens. Jennings, later of country music fame, joked with Holly, “I hope your ol’ plane crashes.” Jennings has said the words haunted him the rest of his life. <sup>WK</sup>

The Beechcraft Bonanza plane, piloted by Roger Peterson, departed around 1am and crashed less than 6 miles outside of the airport. Everyone died instantly. The crash was attributed to poor weather conditions and pilot error. Peterson was still testing on-flight instrumentation and had not been certified to fly in weather that required sole reliance on the instruments.
<p>
Don McLean famously eulogized the event in his hit 1972 #1 hit “<a href="https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2012/01/don-mcleans-american-pie-hit-1-january.html">American Pie</a>” as “the day the music died.” It has been called “the first and greatest tragedy rock and roll has ever suffered.” <sup>WK</sup>

<i>Radio & Records</i> was an independent trade publication which published a weekly pop songs chart as a competitor to <i>Billboard</i> magazine. It ran from October 3, 1973 to August 4, 2006, when it was taken over by Mediabase, who has continued the chart to present day.

Dave’s Music Database – Songs:</h1><h2>
The Top 1 and 2%</h2></TD></TR></table>
<table border=10 width=640 cellpadding=10 bordercolor="blue"><TR><TD bgcolor=#d6eaf8><p>
This is the granddaddy of song lists. It has been created by aggregating hundreds of best-of song lists alongside chart figures, radio and video airplay, sales data, and various honors and awards. While individual lists have idiosyncrasies because of the publiciations or institutions behind them, this list aims to represent as many genres and eras as possible in the history of recorded music.
<p>
To call this “the top songs of all time” is a bit of a misnomer. It’s primarily a list of the top songs in the history of recorded music: from 1890 to the present. Still, that’s a much wider swath than most supposedly “best of all time” lists cover.
<p>
Songs are listed in chronological order; dates in parentheses are for the song’s first chart appearance unless noted otherwise. Click on a song title to see its DMDB page with more details such as general information about the song, videos, lyrics, links to buy songs, chart stats, sales figures, and awards.
<p>
Note: this was originally a top 1000 list, but has been expanded to two categories – the top 1% and top 2% – each with more than 1000 songs. Originally these were listed as two separate posts, but now they’ve been consolidated into one page. Each year from 1890 to present has been listed with the top 1% songs first and then the top 2% songs after that. Prior to 1890 and the pre-recorded music era, songs are listed by songwriters (m=music, w=words) and publishing years.

Songwriters Hall of Fame:</h1><I><h2>
1969-2024</h2></i></TD></TR></table><table width=640 cellpadding=10 border=10 bordercolor="purple"><TR><TD bgcolor=#f5eef8><p>
Songwriter <a href="http://whitgunn.freeservers.com/Davemusic/acts/M.html#johnny_mercer">Johnny Mercer</a> and music publishers Abe Olman and Howie Richmond established the Hall in 1969. As <a href="http://songwritershalloffame.org/">the website</a> says, “To be nominated for induction…a songwriter must have been active for a minimum of 20 years and have written an extensive catalogue of hit songs. Once candidates are determined, ballots are sent to the members of the National Academy of Popular Music, which comprises songwriters and other music industry professionals.”
<p>
There were no awards given in 2020 and 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
<p>
The Hall has also given out special awards (noted in listing below by two-letter code after award name), including:
<ul>
<li><b>Johnny Mercer Award</b> (JM) 1980-2022. Given to previous inductees (with the exception of Frank Sinatra) who have been determined by the nominating committee to have “established a history of outstanding creative works.” Personally, this seems like an unnecessary award designed to create double inductees. Noted in list below as JM. <p>
<li><b>Sammy Cahn Award</b> (SC). 1980-2012. Given “to individuals or teams who are recognized as having done a great deal to further the successes of songwriters.” <p>
<li><b>Howie Richmond Hitmaker Award</b> (HR). 1981-2018. Acknowledges “artists or ‘star makers’ in the music industry who have been responsible for a substantial number of hit songs for an extended period of time.” <p>
<li><b>Hal David Starlight Award</b> (HD). 2004-2023. Honors “gifted songwriters who are at an apex in their careers and are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs.” <p>
<li><b>Pioneer Award</b> (PA). 2012-2013. Established to “recognize the career of a historic creator of an extensive body of musical work that has been a major influence on generations of songwriters.” <p>
<li><b>Contemporary Icon Award</b> (CI). 2015-2019. Established “to celebrate a songwriter-artist who has attained an iconic status in pop culture.” <p>
