The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #600-551


Oh, so many good songs in this segment! I still adore Owl City’s recent hit “Fireflies.” Two from 1992 leap out at me: “Under the Bridge” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and En Vogue’s “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It).”

Guilty pleasures: Heatwave’s “Boogie Nights,” Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats,” and Miley Cyrus’s “Party in the U.S.A.” Yes, you heard me right. Yes, I’m guilty as sin.

But please don’t make me hear “Have You Ever?” by Brandy ever again. The grammatical errors alone drive me up a wall.

How about you? Which songs jump out at you, and why? Are there memories you associate with some of these songs, for good or ill?
