The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #800-751


We’re one quarter of the way through this monster list of the 1,000 biggest pop hits of my lifetime. If you’re roughly my age, this is basically your list, too!

I’ve got a few real favorites in this list. But if I had to pick one, I’d go with Boyz II Men’s “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” (#756), from the winter of 1991-92. Whatever happened to a cappella harmony? I’m ready for it to come back!

Just don’t make me listen to H-Town’s “Knockin’ Da Boots” (#790) from 1993 ever again. Boooooring—and the same goes for “I Can Love You Like That” by All-4-One (#794).

Best guilty pleasure in this list? Gotta be Joey Scarbury’s “Theme from ‘The Greatest American Hero’ (Believe It or Not)” (#764).
