Weekend Rock List: Songs By The Numbers

2/15/08, 4:17 pm EST

This week, it’s been all about the numbers. Delegate margins between Obama and Clinton. Twenty-four finalists on American Idol (and the return of 24). Feist’s lackluster performance of “1 2 3 4″ on the Grammys. In honor of all things numerical, this weekend’s Rock List salutes those songs that feature numbers in their titles. Let us know your favorites, and on Tuesday we’ll do all the math and reveal the readers’ list of best songs with numbers. Here are our picks:

• Bob Dylan – “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35″
• Neutral Milk Hotel – “Holland, 1945″
• Prince – “I Would Die 4 U”
• Jay-Z – “99 Problems”
• Daft Punk – “One More Time”

It’s a shame that this one doesn’t qualify, because there are no numbers in the title, but it has nothing but numbers in the song. Not to mention it being credited as the first rock and roll song. Just thought I’d mention it:

Let me be the first to say, I am a huge Dylan fan I love Blonde on Blonde, I think it might be my favorite album of all time, but “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35″
sucks, it is the worst song on the CD, It sounds like a joke more then a song, It is funny that Dylan can write such great lyrics on the rest of the album and then cosider “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35″
worthy of being on the album. Every time I listen to Blonde On Blonde I have to skip the first song to enjoy the rest of the album.
