261. Wild Thing: The Troggs- I am burnt out on this one.
262. I Can See For Miles: The Who- The Who do a love song. Naturally, it’s angry. Should be about 200 spots higher.
263. Oh, What a Night: The Dells- No it’s not the Four Seasons.
264. Hallelujah: Jeff Buckley- Buckley reworks Leonard Cohen with amazing effect.
265. Higher Ground: Stevie Wonder- Before the Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder…
266. Ooh Baby Baby: Smokey Robinson and the Miracles- Smokey and the Miracles wrote this on stage in the middle of a gig.
267. He’s a Rebel: The Crystals- More Phil Spector. He produced this at 21. Fine line between genius and psychosis.
268. Sail Away: Randy Newman- This is about being on a slave ship. Not sure why Newman’s version is on the list as opposed to Ray Charles.
269. Walking in the Rain: The Ronettes- Phil Spector answers the British Invasion.
270. Tighten Up: Archie Bell- This became a hit when Bell was in Vietnam. He had to convince people it was his song.
271. Personality Crisis: New York Dolls- They dressed like Poison but thrashed like the Sex Pistols.
272. Sunday Bloody Sunday: U2- About 200 spots too low.
273. Jesus Walks: Kanye West: Kanye? hahahahahaha
274. Roadrunners: The Modern Lovers- It’s about driving around with the radio on. Kind of a surprise entry...at least to me.
275. He Stopped Loving Her Today: George Jones- This is country. He stopped loving her because he died!
