MindCrime Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 "Sick Of Myself" - Matthew Sweet This song has been covered by such acts as Bowling For Soup and Death Cab For Cutie. Reached #2 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and #58 on the regular US chart in the summer of 1995. Lou Reed's former guitarist Robert Quine played guitar on this track and most of it's album "100% Fun". This song is about being infatuated with someone to the point of becoming self-effacingly disoriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 "Don't Ask Me Why" Billy Joel Written by Billy Joel A track from his 1980 album "Glass Houses" Released as a single on July 24th, B-sided by "Through the Long Night", it made #1 on Billboard Adult Contemporary and #19 on Billboard Hot 100. ...about the oddities of life that have become obvious over time. It is more characteristic of a track that would have appeared on Joel's earlier albums in that it has a lighter folk sound as compared to the harder, more rock oriented tracks found throughout the album. The background track contains all acoustic and Latin percussion instruments performing in an Afro-Cuban rhythmic style. An eclectic, instrumental "Latin Ballroom" piano solo, played over the bridge section after the second verse, is also featured in part of the song.

edna Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thank you, Brad. Sorry, I did something strange... I posted the previous Top ten list in the wrong place somehow... I don't know how to fix it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 " Way I Walk, The" Robert Gordon and Link Wray Written by Jack Scott. From their album "Robert Gordon with Link Wray: A Fresh ish Special" Released in 1978 as a single B-sided by "Sea Cruise". Gordon's stunning re-working of The Way I Walk - complete with crashing guitar work from the Linkster - became an instant 'radio' hit in the summer of '78 but failed to bother the charts.
