The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #450-401


Are you recognizing more and more of these songs? I guess I’m young enough that, even with only 1,000 hit songs listed, there were bound to be some not-so-memorable ones. That’s getting less and less true as we get higher and higher up the list.

My favorite song in this segment is the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Slide” from 1998-99—I still love to sing along and make up my own harmonies. I also love Marc Anthony’s “I Need to Know,” the Doobie Brothers’ “Black Water,” the Wallflowers’ “One Headlight,” Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling,” P.M. Dawn’s “I’d Die Without You,” and Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle.” How’s that for variety?

The absolute worst, without a doubt, is Paul Anka and Odia Coates doing “(You’re) Having My Baby.” Ugh.

How about you? Favorite? Least favorite? Guilty pleasure?
