MUSIC BLOGFEST - THE TOP TEN SONGS OF ALL TIME (according to moi!)

I panicked when I saw some of the Music Countdown lists posted and published mine just to realise I'm a day early. *shrug*. At least it's here.

Oh, we only get 10 choices! This is hard! So thanks to music freak Alex J Cavanaugh for this blogfest which gives us the chance to nominate our top 10 best songs of all time. It will be interesting to see across the spectrum of differenct countries and different cultures which songs will be common amongst us.


My Top 10 Songs

Seeing I'm on my Paris blog (it's too crowded over at L'Aussie) I'll use French numbers. Good to keep up.


  Un:          I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2


Deux:       Fernando - Abba

Trois:       Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

Quatre:    The Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams

Cinq:        Love me tender - Elvis Presley
Six:          Gotta be somebody - Nickleback


Sept:        Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen

Huit:         In the name of love - U2


Neuf:        Lost and Running - Powderfinger


Dix:          Sounds of Silence - Simon and Garfunkle

There you go. It was tres difficile to choose only 10. There are many more I like equally, but the man said 10. Enough!

    You'll be all set for tomorrow then!
    And looks like you're a bit of an 80's girl.

    In general I don't like pop music, but there is one grand exception; ABBA >:)

    Some great picks! I love Bryan Adams - Summer of 69 would have made my list if I'd had more than 10 slots. U2 - lots to choose from there. And I'm seeing Bon Jovi in concert in March - woo hoo! Thanks for sharing ~ :)

    Great list, Denise. Brought back lots of memories. And I'm glad only the numbers were in French, otherwise I'd have been in serious trouble.

    OMG: Abba! My sister and I knew every song and created our own dances. My parents wanted to send us to therapy, I'm sure (LOL).

    I love them all Denise. Way cool.

    Ooh, I'm glad you guys like these songs. It's nice when you hit songs you actually know isn't it? I actually owned an Abba jumpsuit in red and cream satin. Go Wow! Tres elegant!

    Such great choices. There have been a few artists I thought would have a much larger presence around this fest - U2 is one of them.

  36. Karen M. PetersonJanuary 26, 2011 at 9:53 AM

    Really good choices. And it's official. Summer of '69 is my #11. I have seen it on so many lists, mocking me for not including it.

    Excellent choices! Hard to go wrong with U2. :)

    Yay for Bryan Adams - a Canadian! (Of course, U2 and Springsteen are great choices, too [g])

  39. Denise Covey January 26, 2011 at 3:23 PM

    Obviously I think they're all pretty good, no matter what nationality!

    And I didn't know Bryan Adams was Canadian!

    Yup! I started thinking about nationalities afterward, when I realised how many UK bands I had in my list...

    I stopped by for the hot mug blogfest and was pleasantly surprised to see another one happening with Alex's blogfest! Great choice in music! I'll be back later on to see your favorite mug!
