No longer a big fan of these songs (they're ok) but they have huge nostalgia value to me. I think it's because I heard them a lot back then, and then I didn't hear them AT ALL for DECADES. So when I stumbled on them later in life, it was like finding an old middle school love letter or a photo of your best friend from 3rd grade that you'd forgotten existed.

Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones

More ****
Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run) - Billy Ocean
One of the songs which takes me to Barbados in my mind.



Cat's in the Cradle - Ugly Kid Joe
A remake which is pretty good.



Caught Up in You - .38 Special



Centerfold - J. Geils Band



Charmless Man - Blur
 
Cat's in the Cradle - Ugly Kid Joe

I saw a live clip of them doing this and it turned me off. Whitfield snarling these lyrics into a mic like he was singing "Neighbor" or "Everything About You" didn't work for me.

Caught Up in You - .38 Special
Centerfold - J. Geils Band

Classics

Charmless Man - Blur

First time hearing this one. Video is a hoot!

This one and "Love Stinks" are great! I don't hear them enough.

Not what I was expecting from a Meat Puppets song. But I think the only song of theirs I've heard before this is "Backwater".
 
Today the last top 10 list I have not shared. I may make some more over time and will share. This one is a top 9. Alanis Morissette. Most are from Jagged Little Pill which is a fantastic album. * indicates one which is. Interestingly all these songs are rated as ***.
