The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #350-301


As we get ever closer to the biggest hit of my particular lifetime, you’ll notice some of the cheesier, perhaps better forgotten songs coming up: “We Built This City,” for instance, or Mariah Carey’s “Hero.”

You may feel a guilty surge of pleasure if you go to YouTube and track down “Informer” by Snow, or “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tiffany. Or even “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas. Or “Ghostbusters”!

But for my money, you have no reason at all to be ashamed of adoring Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” Certainly I’m not ashamed to call myself a fan. The same goes for “Stay (I Missed You)” by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories.
