My Top Ten Songs

These are my (current) top ten favorite songs. What are yours?
(Songs link to the videos when I could find them) :)


Honorary Mention:
 "Movin' On"  by Rascal Flatts I loved country very much once upon a time, and still like many country songs...and I think even an non country fan can appreciate this song.

10. "Goodbye to Love" by The Carpenters-- So sad, soulful, and unlike their normal bubbly tunes.

9. "Woman in Chains" by Tears for Fears--Hard to pick just one, but this one is the best.

8. "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor Yes, I know Prince wrote and originally performed this song. He is a rock God. But her version is such a symbol of my pre-teen--teenage years. That video is burned in my brain. And she's so raw in this song.

7. "Tears" by Rush My husband LOVES Rush. Like the way I love Amos Lee. And most of their songs are eh for me because I don't so much care for hair rock. But this song is amazing.

6. "And So It Goes" by Billy Joel Really? Pick one Billy Joel song? Too hard.

5. "Wait" by Benjy Davis Project This band is so young, yet so wise, and the lyrics to this song is a fantastic story.

4. "Vultures" by John Mayer. Not one of his more popular songs but awesome.

3. "Must be the Water" by Marc Broussard. A very Louisiana song with soul and booty shaking.

2. "Black River" by Amos Lee. Song writing at it's finest.

1. "Imagine" by John Lennon. Does it really get better than that?
1. (1st place Tie) "Oh My Love" by John Lennon. He is and always will be the best songwriter ever.

What are YOUR top ten favorite songs?

Hope you enjoy mine!

Respect Yourself
Songwriters Luther Ingram, Mack Rice
Sung by: Marc Broussard, S.O.S. Album

If you disrespect anybody that you run into
Then how in the world do you think anybody's
S'posed to respect you?

If you don't give a heck about the man with the bible in his hand
Then just get out the way and let the gentleman
do his thing.

You're the kind of gentleman that always wanted everything his way
Take the sheet off your face boy,
it's a brand new day.

Come on, come on,
You've got to respect yourself.
Come on Respect yourself

Respect Yourself
Respect Yourself

If you don't respect yourself,
ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot.
Respect yourself, hey hey, respect yourself.
Respect yourself. Respect yourself

If you walk around thinking that the world
owes you something cause you're here, well,
you're going out the world backwards
like you did when you first come here.

Keep talking about the president
won't stop air pollution.
Put your hand over your mouth when you cough,
that'll help the solution.

You cuss around women and you don't even know their names.
And your dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol' man.

Respect Yourself.
Respect Yourself.
You gotta respect yourself.
Respect Yourself.

If you don't respect yourself, ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot.
Respect yourself.
You gotta respect yourself.
Respect yourself.
Nobody's gonna do it for you!

Respect Yourself
