Counting Down my iTunes Play Count (VANITY) -- Day #27

[Alberta's Child]

Day #27 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've been posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the course of several months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so this will probably be done by early November.

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 contributions for both the 3rd and 4th quarter fundraisers. I would encourage everyone on these threads to do the same! :-)

Have fun with this, folks!

Great song. The Pretenders were never the same after they lost James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon.

It’s funny, I don’t recognize the names of a lot of these. But the second they start playing, I am “Oh yeah, I like that one.”

[DallasBiff]

I notice an 80’s vibe here.:)

[Alberta's Child]

Pinging to those from the previous threads. Another one from the 1980s -- which is odd because I didn't like many of these songs back in those days. They've grown on me, I guess.

I've come to like songs with interesting stories behind them, and this is one of them. James Honeyman-Scott has that distinctive sound on the lead guitar, too.

We're officially past the halfway point!

"Oh, but it's hard to live by the rules; I never could and still never do."

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

Oops ... I didn’t include the recipient list in my last post.

And I just realized a few months ago that the 2009 remastered version is slightly different (longer) than the original. I need to get the updated track for my iPod!

[Alberta's Child]

You’re probably right. That’s a bit surprising to me, as I would have sworn that the period from 1965 to 1980 was THE best for modern music.

[MtnClimber]

I think that is one of the best songs by The Pretenders.

[BigFreakinToad]

pretty good list

Hey the 80's were times of Reagan, and the music not that bad.

Great song. Amazing band.
