The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #650-601


OK, how can I choose a favorite in this segment? Maybe it’s easier for you than for me. But I’ll have to go with a few different ones.

For a rollicking good sing-along time, it’s a draw between “Rosanna” by Toto and “Hey Soul Sister” by Train.

For deep wisdom and repeated listens that have meant different things at different stages of my life, it’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by U2

For a guilty pleasure full of nostalgic college memories, it’s gotta be Right Said Fred with “I’m Too Sexy.”

And if you’ve never heard “Playground in My Mind” by Clint Holmes, just … don’t seek it out. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Well, maybe my worst enemy … but not my second worst.
