Continuing the avalanche of Gibb monster hits. This one is a little softer than the others but it’s also very nearly pop perfection.
Great tune. Ending is a bit abrupt. Vocals are amazing. Overall terrific movie and soundtrack. Movie is pretty dark in it's themes.15. The Bee Gees “How Deep Is Your Love” (from Saturday Night Fever)

How do you know a song is great? When you’ve heard it a zillion times in your life but you’re still not going to turn it off when you hear it again.
Best violin solo ever (in rock that is.)
Maybe you should start a poll asking if people really like him.
I know this world is killing you.
I am with you. Will never understand it.
third time's a charm
I was in HS when this came out. In those days, our school allowed you to leave campus during lunch or pull your car into the bus area in front of the school. Between the bus throughway and the main road is a large grassy space. So, guys - it was always guys - would bring their cars there from the student parking area and play music. It was pretty much as you'd expect for a school in the country - the white guys at one end of the bus lane playing AOR (or AOR 8 tracks) and the black guys at the other playing the big R&B station (or equivalent 8 tracks). People would congregate to whichever end (both had areas to toke up outside of prying eyes from the office). There was one black guy a year ahead of me who was a wizard on acoustic guitar. He'd go sit out in the grassy area and play/sing "Dust In The Wind" (he played other stuff, too, but this is what I remember being played the most). Every single meathead would turn their car stereos off when he played - I think, mainly because all of the girls would go to watch him perform and there wasn't anyone else to show off for.14.

Christine McVie’s anthem about the future is going to make me cry all over again. What an incredible talent she was! And how good was this band at their best!

I think Trip has a blow up Elvis doll in his closet.

Sorry I was referring to the song not the album.
His best song was released in 1980, imo. September '77. Enjoy these threads Tim. Thank you.

Peter Gabriel’s first solo effort upon leaving Genesis was, IMO his best. This is a gorgeous song about spiritual discovery. Pretty timeless.

This makes Alice Cooper's "Only Women Bleed" or James Brown's "It's A Man's World" sound like they were written by Gloria Steinem.11. Billy Joel “She’s Always A Woman” (from The Stranger)

I rank this song as the best one on the album, and perhaps Joel’s best song ever, because it’s so breathtakingly lovely. It’s probably up there for me with Cat Stevens’ “Morning Has Broken” for prettiest melodies you’re ever going to hear.

Given that it’s Sunday morning as I write this, the timing is auspicious.
Lionel Ritchie’s ballad is so simple, yet so brilliant, it might be the best thing he ever did.

I don’t know if this is Jackson Browne’s best tune, but for me it’s his most satisfying tune, if that makes any sense. I’ve always found it a joy to listen to, from beginning to end. I’m pretty sure that if I had participated in Krista’s list of 31 songs by American artists, this would have appeared somewhere.
Yeah that’s pretty much going to be the case for this entire top ten unfortunately. Unless you’re from another planet, you’ve heard all of these songs a million times.9. Jackson Browne “Running On Empty” (from Running On Empty)

not much of a fan but I like this and "Doctor My Eyes" - though boy ROE got so much airplay that they ran it into the ground
I feel that way about the entire list, not just the top 10 (whatever they end up being). Very few do I stick around to listen to if they come on anymore. Some of them I actively avoid.Yeah that’s pretty much going to be the case for this entire top ten unfortunately. Unless you’re from another planet, you’ve heard all of these songs a million times.9.

It's a good song, but I could probably not hear this one again and not feel cheated. I do love David Lindley's slide guitar though - that guy is so underrated.Yeah that’s pretty much going to be the case for this entire top ten unfortunately.
