Regina Spektor - Poor Little Rich Boy

“You’re reading Fitzgerald / you’re reading Hemingway / They’re both super smart and drinking in the cafes.”

Taylor Swift - This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

"It was so nice throwing big parties
Jumping to the pool from the balcony
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year"

Natuurlijk durfde niemand Dead Souls van Joy Division te noemen vanwege 'te voor de hand' en 'te grote klassieker'.

Met Dode Zielen heeft Gogol een standaard neergezet voor waardebepaling van het leven, het doodgaan en het belasting betalen in Rusland. Joy Division komt niet in de buurt.

Volgens mij kan je deze top-100 voor de helft vullen met Regina Spektor.
