Too many to list here but my favorite time period for music was the 1970’s and I think that was one of the best decades, if not the very best, in the history of music.

Visions of Johanna by Bob Dylan or I Know You Rider performed by almost anyone.

I am a sara Mclaughlin fan, somewhat. I like her 90’s songs like “Building a Mystery”, as well as New Milennium songs like “fallen” or something.

Cat Power’s covers of Wonderwall and How Can I tell you (that I love you). Super upsettingly, the second is only part of the song—90 seconds long for a commercial. It’s SO GOOD though.

This is from the ‘90’s. It is a real beauty ‘Kid’. I Wanna Sex You Up by Color Me Badd.

Anything huh? Listen to that crap above. It nearly topped the list of all time bad songs.

There are no absolutes in the world. This falls into the random selectiveness theory or Bell curve. A few outstandingly bad songs on the front end then mediocre then to great music to fabulous tunes on the downhill side of the curve to the best song ever preformed (in your opinion) at the bottom of the curve.

As for me, currently I like nearly anything by Hayley Westenra (one of the Celtic Women) and still love Do-Wop.

My favorite song for today is “Within You Without You” by The Beatles, written by Harrison.
Ask me tomorrow, it’ll be different.
