The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #100-71

As we get closer to finishing this amazingly huge countdown, of course, we can’t keep going in 50-song segments. Let’s cut it to 30 … you know, to keep the suspense up.

Entering the top 100 of my lifetime (and perhaps something like yours too), I’m reminded that Mariah Carey was at her very best on her first single, “Vision of Love.” No matter how many times she has hit #1 over the past 20 years, she just hasn't matched her phenomenal debut offering.

Also in this segment, we have my very first favorite pop song: "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor. It's not very original, I'm afraid; "Eye of the Tiger" was EVERY nine-year-old boy's favorite song at the time.

Believe it or not, one of my favorite songs here is a very recent one: “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga. And my least favorite? “Promiscous” by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland.

How about yours?
