I had a friend in college who insisted he always thought the lyric went "I fought Doherty and Doherty always wins." And I was like, "Dan, the song is called Authority Song."I never knew the name of this song til now

I did listen to that one as I loaded the playlist, because it's what you linked. The one I put on the playlist was from Live at the Cellar Door.

Fair enough, though the studio version already appears on the list. Will my original link appear as well? If not, that's no big deal, though I will be putting it in my write-up if not, as that particular version has extra significance to me.

9. Rider
This is not from any album but rather from their performance at The Grand Ole Opry, sometime in 1979.
Appearing at the Grand Ole Opry apparently only happens by invitation from a current member of the Opry. It seems to be a mystery regarding who invited them, but given their reputation behind the scenes, it could have been one of many, from Dolly Parton to Linda Ronstadt to Emmylou Harris, or maybe it was Bill Monroe himself. I wasn't a country music fan and didn't pay any attention to the Opry any other time, but for 13-year-old me, this appearance was a high-water mark, and one of the first times I felt validated that others valued the same thing I did. I can only describe how I felt when I watched this performance as it happened on TV (PBS I believe, with our VHS recording it at the same time) as giddy.
The video is grainy, but the sound is clear. Instead of giddy, I now get a little misty watching it.
There are a few things I want to point out because they matter to me:
1. Pause it at 0:00 and take in how big the stage is, and how little of it they occupy.
2. Even though Duffey flubs his first attempt on his solo, he doesn't break and delivers an inspired performance.
3. During Mike Auldrich's solo toward the end, he shows the most emotion on stage I had ever seen from him.

#9 Hello New Day (off No More Beautiful World, 2007)
Hello raindrop, hello sea
Hello jungle, leaf on the tree
I thought I was a bigger man, now look at me!
(Live Version) Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers Hello New Day Sellersville Theater
(Acoustic Version) Roger Clyne - Hello New Day
Why I chose this:
This is another fairly straightforward song with some catchy hooks and an upbeat tone that makes it stick with me and generally leaves me in a better mood. Heck, if it were any bouncier, it might be bubblegum pop. It’s about the optimism of a new day with the mixed bag that it brings. Highs and lows, cradles and hearses. Just a gentle appreciation for life, which makes sense, given that “Here’s to life!” has been something of a motto for Clyne since the days of The Refreshments. It’s possible this falls into the guilty pleasure category, but hey, as long as it’s a pleasure, right?

The studio recording features the late, great Mark Lanegan on backing vocals, but honestly they are a distraction. The KEXP recording linked below is better.
As always, the lyrics sparkle.
Also, I've learned that she ran away from home when she was 15 years-old, and she shares a very personal experience here.

9. Nina Simone, To Be Young, Gifted, and Black (from Black Gold, 1970)
"You are young, gifted and black"
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
Yours is the quest that's just begun
Many of my past few songs have been some songs more focused on the civil rights struggle: MLK’s assassination (“Why? (The King of Love is Dead)”), lynching (“Strange Fruit”), rape and the legacy of slavery (“Four Women”). Here’s one to break that trend a bit.
This is a song by Nina Simone with lyrics written by her bandleader at the time, “Master Wel,” Weldon Irvine (who would go on to write hundreds of more songs and be a mentor to many hip hop artists, including Mos Def and Q-Tip). Per Wiki:
The song was inspired by Nina Simone’s great friend, Lorraine Hansberry (who most famously wrote the play, “A Raisin in the Sun”). The title is taken from a quote from her, and play about her life. Her death from cancer at the age of 34 was among those mourned by Nina Simone in her monologue in the middle of “Why? (The King of Love is Dead).” Hansberry played a big part in encouraging Nina Simone to take a more political stance in her songs.
This has become one of the Civil Rights anthems with its message of empowerment. Its first performance was at the Harlem Cultural Festival that was the subject of the “Summer of Soul” documentary.
As we are now in the top ten, some more of her anthems will be coming up.

9. In the City
Album: In the City (1977)
Released as a single? Yes (UK #40 in 1977; UK #36 when reissued in 2002)
If The Jam's debut album is a punk-infused interpretation of the pre-Tommy Who, then its title track, their first single, is their My Generation. The guitar, bass and drums are all supercharged and slashing, and the sustain Paul Weller gets on his guitar about halfway through provides a glimpse of how the band would become much more than hard/fast/loud punkers. The lyrics are the first taste of the youth anthems Weller would churn out for the first couple of years his band was in the spotlight. The first half of the song finds him exhorting "the young ideas," but the second half addresses the police brutality that lots of punk and Mod kids experienced:
In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms
And I've heard they now have the right to kill a man
We wanna say, we gonna tell ya
About the young idea
And if it don't work, at least we said we've tried
This is often the favorite track of those who prefer the punk/Mod side of The Jam. Writing in TeamRock, the Undertones' Michael Bradley named it one of the 10 best punk rock singles, while Pitchfork called it "one of the great debut singles."
Released a month in advance of the debut album, the debut single hit #40 in the UK. Every subsequent release during the band's lifetime exceeded its chart position, meaning that every single released during the band's lifetime hit the UK top 40. Polydor released it again in a limited pressing in 2002 to commemorate the band's 25th anniversary, and it sold out, enough to return the song to the UK charts at #36.

B-Side of The Modern World (1977)
Writers: Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland
Original or best known version: The Supremes
The Jam covered this in 1977 and a recording from a gig at The 100 Club in London was used as the B-side of The Modern World (#16 on this countdown). Said gig also comprises the 1977 disc of Fire and Skill. The Jam completely reinvents it as a sweaty shouter, with Bruce Foxton's insistent bass being the only connection to the song's R&B roots. You can feel the energy coming through your speakers.
At #8, my highest-ranking B-side. Probably should have been an A-side.

Can this be the thread where I finally learn whether the Mellencamp or Benatar version of I Need A Lover is the original?
Mrs. Rannous

Neither. It's Johnny Cougar. Benatar didn't cover it until a year later.

And what Nimrod decided that "Johnny Cougar was a good stage name? He sounds like a pimp.

9.
The second disc/album of Southern Rock Opera starts off with Hoods autobiographical “Let There Be Rock,” where he tells the story of a kid —“Patterson” — who did a whole bunch of stupid crazy **** as a hard-rock loving teenager.
Most of us probably did the same and like the guy in the song, I’m sure we are all glad we survived all of it to have a bunch of stories to tell.
Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, fourteen years old,
And I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me.
On my way home, got pulled over in Rogersville Alabama,
With a half-ounce of weed and a case of Sterling Big Mouth.
My buddy Gene was driving, he just barely turned sixteen.
And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry", but we lived to tell about it
And we lived to do a whole lot more crazy, stupid, ****.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
With 38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band.
One night when I was seventeen, I drank a fifth of vodka,
On an empty stomach, then drove over to a friend's house.
And I backed my car between his parent's Cadillac's without a scratch.
Then crawled to the back door and slithered threw the key hole,
And sneaked up the stares
And puked in the toilet.
I passed out and nearly drowned but his sister, DD, pulled me out.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
And the band that I was in played "The Boy's are Back in Town".
Skynyrd was set to play Huntsville,
Alabama, in the spring of 77, I had a ticket but it got canceled.
So, the show, it was rescheduled for the "Street Survivors Tour".
And the rest, as they say, is history.
So I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd
But I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads in 82
Right before that plane crash.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw AC/DC
With Bon Scott singing, "Let There Be Rock Tour".
With Bon Scott singing, let there be rock!

But I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads in 82
Right before that plane crash.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw AC/DC
With Bon Scott singing, "Let There Be Rock Tour".
With Bon Scott singing, let there be rock!

I Need a Lover- John Mellencamp
from John Cougar Album
The one that started it all. Mellencamp's first top-40 single in the United States (No. 28 on the Hot 100) was actually released off his A Biography album (then known as Johnny Cougar), which was not released in America. The song gained its U.S. popularity one year later, when his John Cougar record was put out. As has been pointed out upthread it was also covered by Pat Benatar, who also has a hit with it. Here is an interview I found about it:
"I went to New York in 1976. It was my first time in an airplane. I would have signed anything – I would have signed the bottom of a shoe. I ended up signing with Tony DeFries [who famously managed David Bowie]. He gave me a choice: "Record under the name Johnny Cougar or move back to Indiana." He also paid off my college loans. I was like, "Are you ****ting me?" I didn't realize he was going to charge me back.
I knew that if I wanted to continue in the music business, I had to get on the radio. It wasn't like I had the support of critics – my first Rolling Stone review said something like, "This guy is a phony, picked out of central casting." But I knew if I delivered a song that could get on the radio, I had a shot.
By the time of "I Need a Lover," I had three albums out. They sold nothing. We were recording in Miami at the same time that the Eagles were finishing up Hotel California. I would walk by and hear "Life in the Fast Lane," go back into my session and hear, "I need a lover that won't . . ." I'd be like, "Oh, ****. I don't know what I'm doing here."
I was washed up and over by my midtwenties. Then two record producers named Chinn and Chapman heard "I Need a Lover," and they had Pat Benatar sing it. It was her first big hit, and then mine went to Number One in Australia. It became a semihit in America, and it let me make another album.
Anyway the intro to this one is 2:30 minutes of pure bliss. one of the best ever imo. If you dont like this song... "Hey hit the highway!"

Love this song. My wife wasn’t so thrilled when I turned it loud and started singing along during our last trip.

Sia Chronological 9 - Elastic Heart
Scoresman rank - 19
Probably the second most iconic song from Sia's most successful album, this is a sad, emotional ballad with an even more emotional video. This is her song that famously featured Shia LeBeouf in the music video. I like how the song builds slowly to the last chorus with all of the backing vocals. Very powerful song.

#9 Road to Nowhere
Well that's a wrap on Little Creatures (4 songs total). From the fork (yet again
):
Gotta agree; enormous suitably sums up this anthem. From Songfacts:
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

Always something interesting as I research these songs years (decades really) after the fact. Tacked on the gospel opening out of embarassment? Cool insight.
