Although I often haven't heard what I'm told are "big" songs, reading this write-up gave me a reasonable explanation for this one. I spent 2013 preparing to move, moving, living in, and moving back from Nicaragua. Kinda missed all of US pop culture that year. Well, except I did hear Blurred Lines...in Nicaragua.

It’s actually a useful function for some old albums where Spotify only has the “Deluxe” version with 40 extra songs, 8 of which are different versions of the same song. So I have used it.Turned out to be user error. Phone was in my pocket while I was walking and somehow switched to the options screen for the song and then clicked block. Never knew that was even a thing lol

I was a little down on the #11s, but then I got somewhere near the midway point, and it all turned around!
"Reconsider Me" might be my favorite so far from Warren Zevon. Ditto for "Brazil" from deadmau5. Ditto ditto for "Sea of Destruction" from Clutch.
"Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" is an AC/DC song I don't think I'd heard, and loved.
Bruce Springsteen sounded great live on "Seeds."
Ray Charles pulled "I Can't Stop Loving You" out of its usual dreary, almost hymnal, sound and gave it color.
A couple of known favorites from Elliott Smith and Stevie Wonder, but then again they all are.
More solid contributions from Sigur Ros ("Gobbledigook"), Chicago ("Listen"), Ryan Adams ("English Girls Approximately"), and Alice in Chains ("Over Now").
Special shout-out to the story from @MAC_32 on "F.O.D."
Stunners from Bauhaus ("Kick in the Eye") and The Tragically Hip ("In a World Possessed by the Human Mind"). And my biggest WOW of the day to "Lord, I'm Discouraged" by The Hold Steady.

Rockaria!
Quick note on this one. From the awesome New World Record album, this is probably what Lynn envisioned when he wanted classical music and rock and roll to meet. Starts out with opera (?), goes right into guitar and becomes a pretty fast rocker. Strings all throughout provide a nice, soaring feel, and Lynn does his best to channel his inner John Lennon-style shouting vocal. Was probably a top 3 for me growing up but I didn't rank in this countdown so it fell here.

I know I liked/commented upon a couple of the very early ones really well, too, but I don't recall whether they were mellower. I like harder rock, but just not Cookie-Monster vocals. So I've liked quite a few along the way but then got turned off by the vocals. These were good and shout-y without going into Cookie Monster territory.

You sound way too reasonable. Kick the hermit-like tendencies up a notch and we'll allow it.
2013 was sort of a lost year for me too, though for different reasons. (I do remember this song once or twice, though, meaning it must have been ubiquitous in the States. Ubiquity in Nicaragua is a different matter as there is nothing about a Nicaraguan chart position for "Get Lucky" in Wikipedia.)

#10 Do it Again (1984 - Word of Mouth)
Another Kinks tune about the daily grind. We’ve all been there, as have the Kinks, see Here Comes Yet Another Day at #14, which was recorded 12 years earlier. I suspect I have this song rated much higher than other people would rate it. This is an easy song to relate to, and frankly, I just find it catchy as hell. Something about Ray Davies' vocals simply resonates with me, and this hits with a cool vocal echo effect right out of the gate. This era of Kinks music (late 70’s-early 80’s) finds me in those early teen years when music started to become a bigger part of my life. The first concert I ever attended was The Kinks, and it was during this tour.
Standing in the middle of nowhere
Wondering how to begin
Lost between tomorrow and yesterday
Between now and then
And now we're back where we started
Here we go round again
Day after day I get up and I say
I better do it again
Where are all the people going
Round and round till we reach the end
One day leading to another
Get up go out do it again
Then it's back where you started
Here we go round again
Back where you started
Come on do it again
And you think today is going to be better
Change the world and do it again
Give it all up and start all over
You say you will but you don't know when
Then it's back where you started
Here we go round again
Day after day I get up and I say
Come on better do it again
The days go by and you wish you were a different guy
Different friends and a new set of clothes
You make alterations and [a fact in you knows]
A new house a new car a new job a new nose
But it's superficial and it's only skin deep
Cause the voices in your head keep shouting in your sleep
Get back, get back
Back where you started, here we go round again
Back where you started, come on do it again
Back where you started, here we go round again
Day after day I get up and I say, do it again
Do it again
Day after day I get up and I say, do it again

I'd intended before the #10s to post an update of the Galileo vs. British Isles M-AD rankings but forgot. His #10 didn't change anything, though. With nine songs left to go, he has not touched 10 of our choices, so sadly at least one of the M-AD favorites will be on the outside looking in.

#10 - The Stranglers - Nice ‘N’ Sleazy
m.youtube.com
Year - 1978
Album - Black and White
UK Chart position - #18
Vocals - Hugh Cornwell
Key Lyric - Nice 'n' sleazy, nice 'n' sleazy
Does it, does it, does it every time
Nice 'n' sleazy does it
Interesting Points
1- The heavy bass line pays a key part of this song. JJB has a distinctive style and lot of the songs are bass and keyboard driven rather than guitar
2-One of the most frenetic keyboard solos links the song beautifully, even if its a bit rough on the ears
3-At one of their most notorious gigs at Battersea, (The chief support act for the gig was one Peter Gabriel fresh off leaving Genesis) someone thought it a great idea to hire strippers to “empower females” during this song. I will let JJB take it from here
4- The picture sleeve for the single, with Shut Up on the B Side, featured a real life victim of the Boston strangler with a sheet covering their face
5-What is the song actually about? Heres Hugh

10. Turn That Heartbeat Over Again is the fourth song from Can't Buy a Thrill to appear on my list, and at least the third one on the list whose lyrics I was hearing wrong for many years.
In the case of this song, it's the first two lines, which really changes my understanding of the whole thing. I always thought he said he bought a gong (instead of gun), and that the plan was dawn (instead of done), as well as instead of "I saw him laid to rest", I always heard, "we his soul lay to rest"; taken with the rest of the lyrics, I thought they were dabbling in voodoo, but it seems to be about a robbery gone wrong :
With stocking face I bought a gun
The plan was set the plan was done
Looked at my watch and started for the door
Now the food here ain't so good no more
And they closed the package store
Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me
Oh Michael Oh Jesus you know I'm not to blame
You know my reputation for playing a good clean game
Oh Michael Oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again
My poison's named you know my brand
So please make mine a double, Sam
Stir it up nice I'll eat it right here
This highway runs from Paraguay
And I've just come all the way
Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me
We warned the corpse of William Wright
Not to cuss and drink all night
Ticket in hand I saw him laid to rest
But zombie see and zombie do
He's here with me and you
Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me
Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, you know I'm not to blame
You know my reputation for playin' a good clean game
Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, I'll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again
Turn that heartbeat over again

10. Rain When I Die (off Dirt, 1992)
Was it something I said, held against me?
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can help her but won't, now she hates me
(Youtube Version/Official Audio) Alice In Chains - Rain When I Die
(Live Version - camera work is janky) Alice In Chains - Rain When I Die
(Bonus Live Version - 2010) Alice In Chains - Rain When I Die
Ahn-Ahn! This song rather resides as six minutes of sludge and riffs, and (obviously) I’m here for every moment of it. The riffs are strong, and Layne’s voice is an instrument in itself, stretching notes and full of high points. Duvall captures much of that same spirit in his version in the ‘bonus’ link above.
On the album, all four members get a writer's attribution, though like so many others, this was Cantrell and Staley writing the lyrics. You can get some of the mood here just from the title, of heartbreak and past relationships gone sour. Here more with women than each other for Jerry and Layne, at least as far as what they’ve said goes.
Next on the countdown, a song I’ve been in-your-face about appearing.

Love your feedback. I posted my songs alphabetically (and they're playing back in this thread in reverse order). I was concerned that my random method might yield to statistical disappointment in the end, but upon review I'll state with confidence that my final 10 (or 221, whatever it takes) are mostly bone-in rib eye. Hope you enjoy, and I'm looking forward to highlighting some stellar pedal steel for Miss @simey

10. Mississippi Delta City Blues
Album: Chicago XI (1977)
Writer: Terry Kath
Lead vocals: Terry Kath
Released as a single? No
This shuffling, rollicking Terry Kath composition is my highest-ranking Chicago song that never charted and, despite the studio version's first official release on Chicago XI, may be the oldest original on my list. It dates back to the band's earliest incarnation when they were playing clubs in Chicago, before Jim Guercio moved them to LA. For whatever reason, the band did not appear to consider including it on the first three albums, all of which were doubles and had plenty of room for material. A recording was finally attempted during sessions for Chicago V, and a version cut there was released as a bonus track on a reissue. The song returned to the live rotation for the subsequent Japanese tour and was included on Live In Japan, released in the country of its recording in 1972 but not in the rest of the world until 1996. Then it disappeared again until resurfacing in concert in early 1977 and appearing as the opener to Chicago XI in September of that year. I have hypothesized that since the reappearance coincided with Kath's growing dissatisfaction with the band (and turmoil in his personal life), it may have been a reflection of him not wanting to expend much effort in coming up with new material for them. But I have no idea if that is true. However, by all accounts, Kath around this time was acutely feeling the lyrics of the song, including "I've got to hide/What I'm feelin' inside/Can't let them see/How you're hurtin' me".
What I do know is that the 1977 version is spectacular; I do think it is a genuine improvement from the 1972 version. It is a clinic of rhythmic guitar playing (no shredding or Hendrixian experiments here), and the horn punctuations after Kath sings each line of the chorus are to die for. It also features some of the best grooves Danny Seraphine and Peter Cetera ever laid down. @krista4, I think you'll like this one too. Unfortunately, it was the last evidence we ever got of Terry Kath's genius, as he would accidentally shoot himself to death about 4 months after the release of Chicago XI.

#10- Todd Rundgren New Binky the Doormat Is It My Name?
Todd Rundgren - Is It My Name? (Lyrics Below) (HQ)
Is It My Name? from A Wizard, A True Star. Subscribe pls.LYRICS:There is cause and effectThere's a reason I'm so erectThere's last night and there's todayThe...
well, I mentioned I went the angry guitar Todd - and certainly don't regret my decision
I have always loved that he can turn it up and kick *** - and people say "that's the same guy that did 'I Saw The Light?'"
it was close between this one and another on the same album ...
Zen Archer
it starts with an accordian - WHAT??
beautiful, melodic, soulful, psychedelic, progressive, jazzy, dreamy ...tough to put a label on it (which I love) - and even a sax that a @krista4 could possibly love
do you guys have a preference between these two?
they are just such completely different songs ...for me, it's always about what I'm in the mood for - and I listen to albums still a lot more than playlist mixes
I mean, when I'm in the mood for this version of Todd - man, I want the whole album - it's so weird knowing the albums so well and expecting the song to flow into the next ...II miss that so much in mixes.
I mean right after this song ends we are supposed to hear yet another completely song called "Just Another Onionhead"
The blessing of the turtles, the eggs lay on the lawn
Paint a pretty picture for me to sit upon
The calling of the rabbit, the falling of the hare
The hat man then begins to play, a song is everywhere
[Chorus]
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
Tell them Groucho said, you're just another onionhead
(Just another onionhead, just another onionhead)
[Verse 2]
Another Virgin Mary, another case is shut
Have another helping, prime cut of baby's butt
A sip of holy water, a shot of saving grace
Another western mystic, the words pore out my face
[Chorus]
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
You want the obvious, you'll get the obvious
I'll shave my skull instead, be just another onionhead
(Just another onionhead)
then it moves into a 1920s Rudy Vallee take
Dada Dali goodbye, Dada Dali don't sigh
Your soft alarm clocks quake me
So boil your beans and meet me at Perignon Station
Crutch me Dali again, Lobster telephone friend
Stay in your seat, watch what you eat
If you don't get a dead mule then you'll know I'm in heat
Dada Dali hello, Dada Dali you're
[Outro]
(Just another onionhead, just another onionhead)
then it moves into another soaring rocker - the flow is SO IMPORTANT AND I MISS IT SO MUCH (albums 4ever)

Random thoughts on some of the known-to-me songs from #10:
Is It My Name is indeed a hard rocker from Todd, and it's also one of the weirdest songs from the incredibly weird A Wizard, A True Star. It may have his most unhinged lyric: "My voice goes so high you would think I was gay/But I play my guitar in such a man-c0ck way".
Spirits in the Material World is another standout from Ghost in the Machine. The gliding reggae beat is a real toe-tapper and the song makes great use of piano.
I figured Entangled might show up on the Genesis list because the other two quiet ballads from A Trick of the Tail (Ripples and Mad Man Moon) did. It's soothing but kind of spooky as well.
Crossfire is one of my favorites from Stevie Ray. It's incredibly crisp.
Do It Again has great guitar work and lyrics. Word of Mouth was one of my first cassettes as well, though this and the other single are quite a bit better than the rest of it. Would have been funny if Steely Dan's Do It Again showed up this round as well, but Charlie Steiner did pick one from the same album.
The Trees is a little too "high schooler tries to write an allegory" in its lyrics, but the music is top notch.
Turn That Heartbeat Over Again is "yeah, this sounds sweet" in its music and "what the hell did I just listen to?" in its lyrics.
Sir Duke is one of the greatest songs of the '70s. It is of course not the only Stevie song you can say that about. I really do feel it all over with each listen.
I took Maze in the US MAD countdown. What I said there:
If someone asks you what grunge sounds like, playing them Rain When I Die is as good a response as any.
I've always found We Will Rock You a little hammy, but Brian May's guitar solo is undeniable.
Stacked Actors is one of my favorite Foo songs. It is relentless and a perfect album opener.
Hey, isn't that Courtney Cox?
Bela Lugosi's Dead is a remarkable accomplishment and perhaps the song that most defines goth.
Levon has an incredible string arrangement and one of Elton's best vocals.

Much like FOD, I struggled with live vs studio, albeit for completely different reasons as there's no music class story with this one. As much as I love how the studio version opens with the young girl followed by Billy Joe's crisp riff (this one doesn't) the second half of it is just too good live not to make this rendition the pick.

It's a testament to how (sadly) little I've known about Chicago's history that I didn't know this. Just read about it on Wiki and saw how tragic it was. Also learned this odd tidbit (which I realize Pip will know but maybe some others wouldn't): "The group's members were devastated over losing Kath and strongly considered disbanding, but were persuaded by Doc Severinsen, musical director of the Tonight Show band, to continue."

The Frank Black music has been great, and I love bone-in ribeyes and the pedal steel. Some people associate the pedal steel with twang, but I think it has a musical voice that channels emotions through its sound.

The band was good friends with **** Clark so I guess it makes sense they knew Severinsen well also.

#10 - Ray Charles with Norah Jones - Here We Go Again - Spotify
Ray originally recorded and released this song in 1967, but he re-recorded it again in a duet with Norah Jones in 2004 on his last album Genius Loves Company. The song would end up winning a Grammy for Record of the Year. As mentioned before with the B.B. King duet, Ray wasn't well while doing this album, but his usual high spirit is very present. I remember my mom calling me and saying that she bought the new Ray Charles album, and she got me one too. This is the first song on the album, and I remember listening to it and instantly loving it. Billy Preston's organ work makes the song even better. It is such a bittersweet feeling knowing Ray died a couple of months before the album was released, and knowing the album did so well, and was an exclamation point on the career of one of the best musicians/artists ever.

I love this song, and I'm a fan of the album too. The album came out my freshman year in college, and this song would be my "wake up" song every morning. I'd crank it up, and it always gave me a good day boost.

I went about my top ten in a different way. Slade put out an album called The Amazing Kamikze Syndrome. It was released in The States as Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply. Some of the songs on the US release are different, as is the order. The US version is one of my all-time favourite albums. Therefore, my top ten is the album in order with the exception of my number one choice for reasons I shall divulge later. "My Oh My" is the album version of the earlier song that was #20 on my list.
I've noticed that sometimes people are momentarily confused about which band they are listening to. Not a problem here. Slade sounds like Slade and nobody else sounds like Noddy Holder.
