Do you like how I put this post up right after the last two, so I wouldn't have the depressing stuff at the top of my blog? Me too.
By the way, I've been neglectful in responding to comments for the last month or so. I plan to rectify that soon. On to the 11th installment of the '80s and '90s countdown.
#250-226
250. "Express Yourself," Madonna (1989)
Getting this week's Madonna entry out of the way early, I guess.
249. "These Dreams," Heart (1986)
One of many great '80s Heart power ballads that are fun to karaoke to, and much less fun to hear overly ambitious "American Idol" contestants take a crack at.
248. "Dude Looks Like A Lady," Aerosmith (1987)
Perhaps this song was the inspiration for David Duchovny's brilliant cameo in "Twin Peaks."
247. "I Love Your Smile," Shanice (1992)
246. "Why Can't This Be Love," Van Halen (1986)
245. "I Swear," All 4 One (1994)
My youngest sister used to walk around the house singing "I don't swear" when this song was getting a lot of radio play.
244. "New Sensation," INXS (1988)
243. "Just Another Day," Jon Secada (1992)
242. "Brilliant Disguise," Bruce Springsteen (1987)
241. "Mysterious Ways," U2 (1991)
240. "You Learn," Alanis Morissette (1996)
239. "Sweet Child O' Mine," Guns N' Roses (1988)
238. "Can't Help Falling In Love," UB40 (1993)
237. "I Can't Make You Love Me," Bonnie Raitt (1991)
236. "My Prerogative," Bobby Brown (1988)
235. "Spiderwebs," No Doubt (1996)
I don't screen my phone calls. You never know...maybe it's someone calling to tell me I've won a contest! I don't want to miss that call.
234. "December '63 ('94 Mix)," Four Seasons (1994)
233. "Black Velvet," Alannah Myles (1990)
232. "The Promise," When In Rome (1988)
Already a great song, immortalized as the soundtrack of the signature tetherball scene in cinematic history.
231. "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," Elton John (1994)
230. "Holiday," Madonna (1983)
I guess we didn't finish with Madonna early this week. Personally, I would flip the order of her two entries in this segment.
229. "Hysteria," Def Leppard (1988)
228. "Would I Lie To You," Charles & Eddie (1992)
227. "Time," Hootie & the Blowfish (1995)
Perhaps Hootie's best song.
226. "When I'm With You," Sheriff (1989)
Talk about synergy...I remember my sister Julie telling me years ago that she would definitely play this song at her wedding (even though I thought she said it was a Cher song at first--oops)...and she got engaged over the weekend! Congrats, Julie!

The only song that feels comment-worthy to me this week is Spiderwebs, but I love No Doubt.
Wow, what does it say about my musical taste that I seem to like so many more songs at the bottom of the countdown than closer to the top?
I love your links.
Thanks, Jeff! That song is definitely gonna be on the playlist!
So when do we get the next installment?
