25 Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road

W: Springsteen

P: Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, and Mike Appel

Early in Springsteen’s masterpiece “Thunder Road” he says with a hint of sadness “The only redemption I can offer grows beneath this dirty hood.”  The magic of this song is that there IS some redemption in a beat up car, because there is also ( Read more... )

50 Stevie Wonder - As

W: Wonder

P: Stevie Wonder

Many of Stevie’s best love songs are filled with joy, but this one sticks out because it is filled with conviction.  He rattles off a list of impossible events and says that he will love his woman until these impossibilities become realities.  The backing is jazz-inflected R&B at its best with ( Read more... )

W: Hatahaway/Howard

I chose the live version of this song because of two reasons: 1) You can hear just how funky each individual instrument is, and 2) The joy in the crowd overwhelms the recording as Donny sings “Everything has got to get better.”  This is what live music should sound like.  It is brimming over with excitement, rising action, and ( Read more... )

100 The 5th Dimension - Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In (The Flesh Failures)

W: Rado/Ragni/MacDermot

P: Bones Howe

Quiet as it’s kept, I am actually a huge 5th Dimension fan.  It may be lame to some, but I find them to be great.  This is the ultimate 5th Dimension song because it allows them to show off their vocal acumen without sounding like an ( Read more... )

125 Bob Marley & The Wailers - Could You Be Loved

W: Marley

P: Bob Marley & the Wailers

Because of the title, some people think this is a song about relationships, but in reality it is about judgment and social ills.  The backing groove is simple but funky, and the drastic differences in the verses, chorus, bridge, and coda help make this an ( Read more... )

150 Sly & The Family Stone - M’Lady

W: Stewart

P: Sly Stone

This thumping rave-up of a song is a personal favorite because I think it is one of Sly’s most fun songs.  It has everything you want from early Sly material: a dancing organ, a joyous chorus, swinging horns, and, of course, great nonsensical group vocals.

175 Michael Jackson - Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough

W: Jackson

P: Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson

“…because the force, it-it’s got a lot of power and… it make me feel like I… it- it make me feel like I… OOOH!”  I couldn’t have said it better myself.

174 Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone

W: Sandberg/ ( Read more... )

200 The Supremes - You Can’t Hurry Love

W: Holland/Dozier/Holland

P: Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier

This song takes every good element of “Baby Love” and improves upon it.  It’s harder, it’s faster, the stomp is more insistent, the singing is fiercer, and every possible emotional level has been pushed up to the limit!  Man, this is a great song ( Read more... )
