I got the Apple Iphone a couple of months ago – it is pretty damn impressive, it comes with an 8GB iPod as well as a host of other brilliant features – including an easy to use web browser and e-mail, great for checking messages when stuck in traffic!
Scroll down page for the Top 100 Songs.
When it came to filling up the 8GB iPod with music I was surprised how few lists of music to put on iPod were listed on the internet – I searched for “Top 10 iPod Songs”, “Top 50 iPod Songs” and “Top 100 iPod Songs”, I even looked for “1000 Best iPod Songs” and there was nothing of any real value, so as a gesture of goodwill to the iPod and music community in general I have listed the top 100 songs on my ipod.
I hope my top 100 ipod songs list will give you a bit of inspiration when you are looking to download some new music to your ipod or iphone.

What did you think of the Top 100 Songs for iPod list? Was there a song that I missed that you think should be included? Or a song you in the top 100 that you don’t think should be there?
Post your comments below, your feedback will help make the next top 100 (or maybe 500) song list bigger and better.


you DID have 2 radiohead songs up there so i give you an online applause….cheerio! and comfortably numb also made it (great vid by the way). Im getting more into Feeder as i listen to Pandora, although im not crazy at all about Nickelback..eh to each his own, right?
Loved your whole list, except #5, which is an incredible song, but is NOT called “Teenage Wasteland”!! It’s called “Baba O’Reily”, and around here if you call it “Teenage Wasteland” while requesting it on a radio station, they make a fool out of you on the air. Otherwise, awesome choices
I like your taste for the most part… Foo Fighters are good but they definitely wouldn’t be #1 on my list. I also like to see Massive Attack high up there, that’s a great song.
Great list
just found it while trying to find music for my phone, your right there is no decent lists. Thanks.
I like Hey Jude best. Every time I hear this song,I feel relaxed.
like the tunes, should have more Blink-182 in it though (:
Great taste in music! I’m downloading like 50 of them. Lol. One thing though. You put Teenage Wasteland by The Who, but its actually called Baba O’riley. Just thought I’d let people know in case they were trying to find it
hey, such a long list of hits. appreciate it. thanks
Teenage Wasteland – The Who???
No such song. It called Baba O’Riley.
Sorry, that’s one of my pet peeves.
i got freaked out when i read this list because i have like all of them on my i-pod and i like them in the order you put them. Great list nice taste of music. ‘like mine’ :p
Wow Man! u got really a superb collection. Its really cool. Thanks for giving the songs along with the list. Great.
Good list. I loved seeing a Neil Diamond song in your list. I also enjoy Phil Collins and Pink Floyd. Include songs of Cliff Richards, Lobo, Jim Reeves. All everlasting songs!!!
Great Taste – loved seeing I Miss You make the list – I have 90 of the 100 on my ipod already ! Like to see the LA Woman feature next time and perhaps sympathy for the devil !
woah, we’re almost the same in taste for songs good compilation. Wish I have an Apple iPhone.
Moby – Porsaline..
Moby – Go

nice article thank you for sharing
Hey jude from the beatles is my pavorite song, Im looking for it for along time, thanks sir
i like the foo fighters to
great list btw
Hi, I am big fan of music and a big fan of vintage music clothes.Best part people notice me and specially in concert or when I go out with my date.
Thanks for the interesting list. I have a similar list on my iPod but some that I would add are Coal Chamber or Oleander.
Any Bob Dylan song should be the number one. ‘Nuff said.
dont think you got the right ace of spades video
doesnt suit your list but lose yourself is the best song
I found six good songs!!
most in top ten!!
“82 – Bartender and the Thief – Stereophonics”
my, my, why’s this only on no. 82.. luv these songs and your list, pretty cool.
I appreciate that a lot of people will like the music on this list because there are many big hits on it and they didn’t become big hits for no reason.
But our tastes in music differ – a lot.
The Foo Fighters are good, and there are a few other good songs and bands here, but not many of these would make my top 500 let alone 100.
For starters (and I’m going to get slated for this), I really don’t like the Beatles, just because their songs can be easily turned into football chants doesn’t make them good.
I prefer a more laid back or melancholic kind of music, and if anyone feels the same way as I do I would recommend for your iPod some Bon Iver, Paolo Nutini, Neil Young, you’ve got to have some Frank Sinatra on there, some Michael Buble, The Temper Trap, and for those of you looking for something a bit different, look into Passion Pit and Hot Chip.
Also, if you like melancholic music, have a listen to some of the stuff that Robert Pattinson sings, he’s really good (in my opinion).
Sorry to piss all over your list mate, but in case people weren’t satisfied I thought I might as well chip in with a few other suggestions.
Nice listing!!
I have download all the song.thanks
Plenty of phonics, snow patrol and foo fighters songs make this list one of my favs and most of the music is on my iPhone.
Not a bad range of songs. I think the hilltop hoods should make it in somewere. Also maybe some weird al and Tracy chapman. Hilltop Hoods are awsome!

thanks that is grat list of song . plz give me that’s songs download link
Aw man, how could I forget about “Celebrity Skin”? But you totally forgot about Kevin Rudolf’s awesome song “Let it Rock.” It has way more energy than Kanye’s “stronger.” Also, Radiohead’s “Creep” is great for moping over lost love, as well as Carolina Liar’s “I’m not Over.”
Nice list, but i have some suggestions, Such as Dragon force songs, owl city songs, and stuff like that might help make it a better list.
Wow, I really thanks to you because this is fantastic job man. your songs selection is very nice and thanks a lots for give me this songs download link.
Why oh why isn’t SIA or Imogen Heap on this list?
Or Nine Inch Nails?
These three artists should definately be here!
I would recommend
Sia: – Breathe Me, I go to sleep, Day too soon, Distractions (with Zero 7), Don’t bring me down
Imogen Heap: – Hide and Seek, Speeding Cars, Canvas
Nine Inch Nails: Just like you imagined, Everyday is exactly the same, Hurt
Just found this list.. I approve dude good choices all round
Great selections in there !!!! great for people old and young !!!! had music from the best music era ever !!! roughly between 1996 – 2005 thanks for the selection appreciate it!!!!
plus any wanna join my modern warfare 2 clan???
YOU HAVE THE GAYEST MUSIC TASTE IN THE WORLD. HOW OLD R U? 50 OR SOMETHING. TEENS WUD NOT LISEN 2 DIS CRAP. DA ONLY 1 I LIKED WAS BLEEDING LUV
Very nice list.
woah
Whole Lotta Love is my favorite song of all night. I bow to you for putting this list on here, because you’re right, there are no good lists, except for this one, and the lack of lists sucks.
Teenage Wasteland is actually Baba O’Riley
Any self respecting ipod top100 list should not include nickelback…
other then that, solid list, couple suprises. 8.5/10 overall, (.5 deduc for nickelback, full point deduction for limited hip hop selection/excess classic rock.) Well done!
Okay..I’m in my 50’s ……and loved your choices. Thanks..
Nice listing, thanks
Last ten song as youtube links?? BRILLIANT! Goosebumps and a half from everlong!
Agree with most of your list though Leona Lewis should be sacked off.
everlong and buck rogers-now thats what i’m talking about! nice list man. would have liked to see more 30 seconds to mars, athlete and madina lake maybe but tight list.
Hi, I’m a webmaster in Paris. Just wanted to tell you I thought your web site was cool. Thank you!
