How Can They Put "Love Is All Around " At #437?--It Should Be At #229!

Here's something worth looking at for several hours--oldies station K-Earth top 1001 songs of all time. Even just the top 100 is full of surprises, good and bad.

(For those of you who won't click on the link, I'll give away the ending: #1 is "My Girl." The rest of the top ten isn't too surprising, except for #2.)

I only got to #100 and that was for me the biggest surprise. Lowdown by Boz Scaggs?!?

"Dust In The Wind" at #976?-- there are at least 976,000 songs better than that, including the atonal one the Fed Ex man is humming to himself right now

I assume you're not claiming "Lowdown" was too low down.

"Dust In The Wind" has one of my favorite opening lines: "I close my eyes...only for a moment and the moment's gone." Okay, what would have happened if you hadn't closed your eyes?

Santana rulez!! The song (and album!) Lowdown are both excellent. Happy to see the Bobby McFerrin didn't crack the list.

Someone clearly didn't read the manual: when Wild Cherry scores 14 places higher than Elvis Presley, you recalibrate the machine.
