Chicago-what a band. I saw them in Las Vegas in 2001 and again this summer at the New Jersey Arts Center and with one exception was the exact same band. Still 3 original members and still a great band through the years. This is 1st of 12 Chicago songs on my list.
"You're giving me a heart attack but its the kind of like""--there are not many funk bands better than Cameo although they only show up twice in my countdown. This hit in 1986-- the band was perhaps the best funk band I've seen since that great band from Dayton Ohio--the Ohio Players.
Both the Beatles and Stones pop up here--both place 12 songs on my list--good but not the most by far.
Michael Jackson who I am a huge music fan of hits 7 times alone, 6 with the Jackson 5. His best song--Billy Jean--which is way up the charts.

  1. Glad to see Michael Jackson on the list so many times. You should start focusing your dance efforts on mastering the moonwalk before moving onto the dougie, though.

  2. Wow- Great concept and awesome blog! I like the Sultans of Swing inclusion, though it has come too early in my humble and irrelevant opinion! Keep up the good work
