(Finished June 2nd, 2018) What Was The #1 Song When You Were 14?

Hello,

There's been a post on Facebook that's been circulating widely:

Anyway in one of the Facebook groups I'm in, it's for Single Mormons that run in age from about age 35 to old farts like myself. Anyway some of these songs are pretty cool, some are obscure and some are just huh? Here's a bunch of them for our amusement. I absolutely love the song that was #1 when I was 14. Not everyone was pleased about the song that was #1 when they turned 14.

Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes":

TLC "No Scrubs":

Snow "Informer":

Hall and Oates "Maneater":

R. Kelly "Bump N' Grind":

Michael Bolton "When A Man Loves A Woman":

Rick Astley "Together Forever":

Somebody wrote down this song, but I think they're being sarcastic. IDTS "Not Gonna Say It":

Cher "Believe":

Donna Summer "Bad Girls":

I still get goosebumps when hearing this amazing song. These were all the biggest artists in the world when I was a teenager, oh yeah and Ray Charles. USA For Africa "We Are The World":

Hello,

On my iTunes playlist there are 23 songs that have 40 listens, that's too many songs for one blog. Thus I've broken it in to two blogs.

All of these blogs are living blogs. That means if my iTunes top songs change, then these blogs change. Both Queensryche's "Another Rainy Night Without You" and AC/DC's "Who Made Who" notched their 41st listen and move into a tie for 57th place.

73) Guns N' Roses "Paradise City":

73) The Four Seasons "Walk Like A Man":

73) Frankie Valli "Grease":

73) Faith Hill "This Kiss":



73) JXL vs. Elvis Presley "A Little Less Conversation":

73) ELO "Twilight":

This video may be perplexing, but I think this is my favorite Dead or Alive song. 73) Dead Or Alive "Brand New Lover":

73) Chicago "Alive Again":



73) blink-182 "All The Small Things":

73) John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band "On The Dark Side":

73) The Band Perry "If I Die Young":



73) Arcade Fire "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)":

(Finished May 28th, 2018) A Memorial Day Playlist, Part 2

Hello,

I love, love, love this song especially the line, "A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is every thing." Brooks and Dunn "Only In America":

The Charlie Daniels Band "Still In Saigon":

The Charlie Daniels Band "In America":

Merle Haggard "Fightin' Side Of Me":

Sadly America has it's dark side as well. Bruce Springsteen "Born In The U.S.A.":

Frank Sinatra "New York":

This seems to be a common attitude in America. Frank Sinatra "My Way":

Definitely a Top 500 All-Time Song. Don McLean "America Pie":

Neil Diamond "America":

Simon And Garfunkel "The Sounds of Silence":



Sadly America can chew up it's heroes as well as celebrate them. Ira Hayes was one of those who were chewed up after serving America. "Flags of Our Fathers" is a great book about the brutality of the Iwo Jima battle if you are interested. Johnny Cash "The Ballad of Ira Hayes":

Carrie Underwood "Just A Dream":

Any American has the potential to be a hero. Neil Young "Let's Roll":

Neil Young "Already Great":

Barry McGuire "Eve of Destruction":

(Finished May 27th, 2018) A Memorial Day Playlist, Part 1

Hello,

I know America has it's issues, especially under the current administration, but despite that America is still great. You can't make a country great that was already great. God Bless America!!!

SSGT Barry Sadler "Ballad of the Green Berets":

George Jones "50,000 Names":

John Michael Montgomery "Letters From Home":

Daryl Worley "I Just Came Back From A War":

Rhyming Bin Laden with forgotten is interesting. Not bad, just interesting. Daryl Worley "Have You Forgotten":

What is Memorial Day about? I think it's about two main things, freedom and loss. Freedom from some of the many things that hold so many other countries back and the loss of the young men and women who have died or suffered loss so that we can enjoy our freedom. I think this song explains both of those concepts very well. 

David Ball "Riding With Private Malone":

The Dixie Chicks "Travelin' Soldier":

This song still gives me the chills every time I hear it. Lee Greenwood "God Bless The USA":

Tim McGraw "If You're Reading This":

Rylee Preston "Soldier's Light":
