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

I hadn't heard it in about a dozen years. Just before COVID times, I was going somewhere with my bass player in his car and Destroyer came on. We were both shocked that I remembered all of the words for the Lola part.
 
Today more ****

Devil Inside - INXS



Diamond Sun - Glass Tiger



Dirty White Boy - Foreigner



Disco 2000 - Pulp
This song's meldoy sounds simular to Gloria by Laura Branigan to me.



Do You Really Want to Hurt Me - Culture Club
 
It may sound odd that I'm not a fan of Heart's stuff pre-1983, and especially don't like "Barracuda", "Crazy On You" and "Magic Man" (probably another "Rock Lobster" thing) but I do really like "Dog & Butterfly" a lot.

That's almost the opposite of me. I thought they became too popish in the 80s. Anything after Even It Up is not my cup of tea (not actively dislike just not like). I do also like Dog & Butterfly obviously which is why not an exact opposite. I like all the songs you list.

I think Barracuda is one of the most perfect rock songs ever, followed closely by Magic Man. While I know it's futile to argue about personal taste, I can't imagine what rubs you the wrong way.

I like those too.

Music is so subjective. I know I like a lot of stuff that most people can't stand.
 
More ****.

Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac



Double Vision - Foreigner



Downtown Train - Rod Stewart
Up until March of this year, I could relate to this song.



Dreamboat Anne - Heart
Sorry @sadchild



Dreamin' - Cliff Richard
I liked his sound in his flash of fame in the late 70s and early 80s.
 
LOL I do like the other four though.

Not sure Cliff Richard had just a "flash of flame" at the turn of one decade. Though that's probably true in North America (though he had at least one top 40 in the 1950s 1960s 1970s and 1980s). But in the UK...

[Cliff Richard is] the first artist to score a Top 5 album in eight consecutive decades. The 80-year-old singer's latest album Music… The Air That I Breathe bowed at No. 3 on latest Official U.K. Albums Chart, for a unique record. Richard’s first appearance in the chart’s top-tier was in April 1959 with Cliff by Cliff Richards And The Drifters, which dropped at No. 7. The album would drift to the chart summit. Across his career, Richard has bagged 14 No. 1 singles, 68 Top 10s and a whopping 124 Top 40 hits.
 
More ****

Dreams - The Cranberries



Drinking in LA - Ban Van 3000
This song is weird which is why it has appeal to me.



Drive - R.E.M.



East Bound and Down - Jerry Reed
Great movie. Great song.



Eat It - "Weird Al" Yankovic
 
More ****

Echo Beach - Martha & the Muffins
Makes me think of being at my parent's cabin as a youngster.



Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks



The next entry in the **** list was an alternate version of El Paso "El Paso(2)". It was originally ****. However, in reviewing I have bumped it to the 432 and placed it next to the original version of El Paso. So only 4 today.

Elvira - The Oak Ridge Boys
This song is made by the deep voice guy. Watching the video, the one with the low voice surprised me. He looks like he should have a sissy high voice.



Emotional Rescue - The Rolling Stones
I know some here don't like this one or the ones from this era but I do and this is my list. :)
