The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #550-501


I hesitate to propose that the songs are getting better as the hits get bigger. It doesn’t usually work that way.

But this segment does feature some truly fabulous R&B songs, such as “Try Again” by Aaliyah, “Weak” by SWV (despite the obvious derivative influence of “Knocks Me Off My Feet” by Stevie Wonder), “I Wanna Know” by Joe, and “Again” by Janet Jackson.

Unfortunately, we are also subjected to “Right Thurr” by Chingy and “Always” by Bon Jovi …

Additionally, perhaps you might feel guilty to find yourself singing along to “Karma Chameleon,” "Funkytown," or “I Am Woman”!
