10. Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough – Michael Jackson

When I was a kid, my hockey coach asked us for song recommendations to play in the room before games. My mom told me to suggest this one, so I did.

It never got played. And we never won.

9. Lovely Day – Bill Withers

Since this appears to be the decade bringing back all my childhood memories, I’ll say that my first interaction with this song was watching a little girl sing it in a talent show.

15 years later, it grew on me.

8. Go Your Own Way (2004 Remaster)

Nothing from my past for this one, but my childhood self would be surprised (and probably a bit annoyed) by how much my sister’s taste has collided with my own.

2. Everybody Loves You Now

Refreshing youth.

6. Pink Moon – Nick Drake

After ‘ Cello Song, there was Pink Moon.

5. Vienna – Billy Joel

A letter probably meant for himself as much as anyone else.

4. Dreams (2004 Remaster) – Fleetwood Mac

A song that feels like it’s been holding something in for a while.

3. Ventura Highway – America

Feeling as though you’re on an adventure with no end in sight.

2. Place To Be – Nick Drake

After Pink Moon, there was Place To Be. I’d hardly call it better but rather more consistent.

1. Landslide – Fleetwood Mac

A song about growing pains with feminine energy emanating from every lyric, telling the world to listen.
