If it's Tuesday, this must be music.

#70. Lost Without Your Love, Bread (1977) -- #40 in 2018

#69. Every 1's a Winner, Hot Chocolate (1978) -- #58 in 2018

#68. Get Used to It, Roger Voudouris (1979) -- #43 in 2018

#67. She Did It, Eric Carmen (1976) -- #66 in 2018

#66. Old Days, Chicago (1975) -- #73 in 2018

#63. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Billy Joel (1977) -- NEW!

Another Billy Joel song that jumps into my list thanks to the Billy Joel Channel.

#62. Kiss and Say Goodbye, the Manhattans (1976) -- #33 in 2018

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sARlnKk23xw

#61. Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Meat Loaf (1977) -- #35 in 2018

Meat Loaf passed away since my first music list, but this song went down in my rankings. After he died, we learned that he was an anti-vaxxer and a Former Guy supporter... and died from the trumpvirus. So no sympathy for guys like him. This song is still a classic, but I just can't stomach listening to it as much anymore.

#60. Love Takes Time, Orleans (1979) -- #39 in 2018

#59. Shadows in the Moonlight, Anne Murray (1978) -- #45 in 2018

Yes, Anne Murray is still on my list. Get used to it. Wait, we already had "Get Used to It" a few spots back.

#58. Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now, McFadden & Whitehead (1979) -- #36 in 2018

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY0tsKCB4lc

#57. Telephone Line, Electric Light Orchestra (1976) -- #24 in 2018

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77R1Wp6Y_5Y

#56. Thank You for Being a Friend, Andrew Gold (1978) -- NEW!

Andrew Gold died in 2011--seven years before my first Fantastic 500--so it obviously wasn't his death that led to this song debuting on my Fantastic 500 in 2024. It was Betty White's death.
