Part 1 of this blog series I published on 2/21/17 and part 2 I published on 2/23/17. I like to go back and work on blog series that I have started but never finished. These songs are songs with the same title, but are different songs.
6a) Tears For Fears "Head Over Heels":
6b) The Go-Go's:
The same thought if not the exact same title. 6c) Alanis Morissette "Head Over Feet":
My goal with this blog is to publish the songs that I've posted the least or haven't ever posted. There seems to be a few hundred songs that I post over and over again, I'm trying to avoid that here. As I usually do I Googled other websites on this topic, but didn't use most of those songs. Instead I got most of these songs from my iTunes. As usual I post songs I like, rather than songs than meet any certain criteria.

Rolling Stone magazine has released their rankings of the Top 100 Greatest Motown Songs of All-Time. I agree with a lot of their choices, but I also disagree with a lot of their choices. I'm going through Rolling Stone's list, adding and subtracting as I see fit. This will be 9 blogs of the Greatest Motown songs ever. There's just so much great music that came out of Motown. Included are songs that feel like they should be Motown songs or songs that are covers of Motown classics. I've also included songs from Motown subsidiaries like Tamla.
As always these blogs are living, breathing things I reserve the right to make changes as needed. Several of these songs I've never heard before, a few may grow on me or also completely fall out of favor.
