IdRatherBeSkiing's Top 20 (Sunday, June 21st, 2020 version)

I dig those first three. There was a Savage Garden song I kinda got into back in the day but it wasn't that one. I think it was "Crash And Burn".
 
Continuing with the **** list. I am on page 16 of 18. #511 - #515 (ordered by song name) of 584.

Turn To Stone - Electric Light Orchestra



Tusk - Fleetwood Mac



Twice As Hard - The Black Crowes



Twisting by the Pool - Dire Straits



Two Princes - Spin Doctors
 
Today's **** (just under the wire)

U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer



Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks



Under My Thumb - Streetheart



Under the Bridge- Red Hot Chili Peppers



Union of the Snake - Duran Duran
 
That version of Thumb is kinda kooky. I like the Casiotone, 8 bit melody. It’s a little like a video game, but not quite fully Devo. Quirky version.
For me I heard this one first. The group was from Regina, SK so got a lot of airplay. For me the Stones version sounds funky (although I know it is the original). According to what I heard on Regina radio, Mick himself liked the remake.
 
Today a top 10 by Meat Loaf. A shout out to Jim Steinman whowrote all these songs. All songs from Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell albums (I & II). I note which are from II in brackets.

10. Good Girls Go to Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) *** (II)
9. Heaven Can Wait ***
8. I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) *** (II)
7. Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through *** (II)
I love Jim Steinman's version of this song which he released in 1981. I like the Meat Loaf version too but without Jim's version, this song would not be on this list.
6. All Revved Up With No Place to Go ***
5. Two Out of Three Ain't Bad ***
4. For Crying out Loud ****
3. You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) ****
2. Bat Out of Hell ***** (#96 on my 437)
1. Paradise by the Dashboard Light ***** (#82 on my 437)
