It's the return of the real music.

#55. Who Loves You, the Four Seasons (1975) -- #44 in 2018

#54. Alive Again, Chicago (1979) -- #38 in 2018

#53. Stiletto, Billy Joel (1978) -- #50 in 2018

#52. Songbird, Fleetwood Mac (1977) -- NEW!

Probably no surprise this one made my list after Christine McVie's passing, as many consider this one of her best vocal performances--if not her best.

#51. We've Got Tonight, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band (1978) -- #70 in 2018

#50. Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue, Crystal Gayle (1977) -- #64 in 2018

#49. Promises, Eric Clapton (1978) -- #60 in 2018

#48. Southern Nights, Glen Campbell (1977) -- #34 in 2018

#47. We Don't Talk Anymore, Cliff Richard (1979) -- #23 in 2018

#46. Vienna, Billy Joel (1977) -- #62 in 2018

#45. Werewolves of London, Warren Zevon (1978) -- #65 in 2018

#44. It Hurts So Bad, Kim Carnes (1979) -- NEW!

Another one of my trademark unorthodox picks for favorite songs of all-time. This song came from Kim's fourth album, St Vincent's Court--not Mistaken Identity, as the YouTube video suggests. This marked Kim's solo Hot 100 debut, peaking at #56. (Her actual Hot 100 debut was a year earlier, as a duet with Gene Cotton made it up to #36.)

#42. That's the Way of the World, Earth, Wind & Fire (1975) -- NEW!
