#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.

#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.)
