Counting Down my iTunes Play Count (VANITY) – Day #10

Day #10 of the Top 50 songs on my iTunes playlist -- ranked in reverse order by play frequency from #50 to #1 and presented here on a series of FR threads. I'm posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the next couple of months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so it will take at least ten weeks to do this.

And to show my gratitude to the FR management for giving us all a forum to post vanity threads like this, I'll be making a contribution for the current quarterly fundraiser. I would encourage everyone on these threads to do the same! :-)

Have fun with this, folks!

(One thing I noticed when I started is that there was a tie at the end of the list for #50, so there will actually be 51 songs on 51 threads here.)

Pinging to those from the previous threads. I'm still not sure how this one ended so high on this list, though it was big on the airwaves back in my hockey playing days.

Let me know if you’d like to be added or removed from the ping list!

That is a great song. I don’t have a play list, but if I did, that song would be on it.

I’ll toss one in:
You and l (when we were young) - The Strawbs

I see I missed a couple of threads, allow me to catch up.

Keeping pace with your countdown, my #42 most played iTunes song is "Pancho And Lefty" by Emmylou Harris. This is from her Luxury Liner album in 1976, quite possibly her finest album (and she has had quite a few).

Emmylou Harris - Pancho & Lefty (1976)

A few years after this album, Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson would record their own version of "Pancho & Lefty" which is highly recommended. However, Emmylou has the best version in my opinion. This song was written by Townes Van Zandt by the way.

My countdown so far...

• #50 - Jack's Mannequin - The Lights And Buzz (2005)
• #49 - The Cars - It's All I Can Do (1979)
• #48 - Lobo - Me And You And A Dog Named Boo (1971)
• #47 - Zach Bryan - Oklahoma Smokeshow (2022)
• #46 - Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky (1970)
• #45 - Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (1989)
• #44 - Night - Hot Summer Nights (1979)
• #43 - Rocky Burnette - Tired Of Toein' The Line (1980)
• #42 - Emmylou Harris - Pancho And Lefty (1976)

No worries about missing threads. That is an excellent example of a great tune that can make its way into the Top 50 on any given list of MP3/MP4 songs!

Today's update will be coming out shortly!

Back in the day, I thought she was one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

[SamAdams76]

Still is today. Pretty crazy to think she's in her late 70s.
