At the dawn of the rock era, songs of less than 2 1/2 minutes were not at all unusual. In fact, that was about the average song length of popular songs during the 1950s and through about 1965. Beginning then, song length slowly grew until by 1970, the average was over 3 minutes and by the 1980s, over 4 minutes. As part of our contention that "shorter is better" when it comes to popular music, this page celebrates really short songs. Because there are so many, I've divided up the list into songs of roughly 2 minutes (up to 2:10) in length, and another of songs between 2:10 and 2:30. As you'll see by scanning the list, some of the biggest and best Rock'n'Soul songs fall in this category. I've included not only songs that were hits (they reached at least #50 on one of Billboard's singles charts) but also, in the case of non-hits, singles that rate our highest recommendation of 2 stars (
). Records that are included on one of the other lists we maintain (Dave Marsh—orange, Rolling Stone—red, Kev Roberts—blue) also show its position on those respective lists. The list also reveals the slowly diminishing number of these very short songs as the 1960s wound down, and that the number of such songs in the 1970s and beyond is quite small comparatively. About 200 of the songs on this page are in our online "jukebox," so you can hear a snippet by clicking on the blue "play" button next to the title.
