Hmmm, interesting and pretty good list. I especially like 14 and 88. :D I am VERY VERY surprised not to see anything from Chicago. I looked over the list twice to make sure and dont believe I saw a thing. C'mon!!!

Interesting list. Don't agree with the #1 selection though. Can think of much better songs to go there.

In my personal opinion, "Open Arms" by Journey should have been #1. That song is so powerful and emotional. I'm very dissapointed at how far down the list "Faithfully" was as well. Some songs I didn't see on the list that should have made it were:

Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes
Waiting For A Girl Like You - Foreigner
Some Chicago songs besides just the one
Even a lot more Air Supply songs

What no Culture Club?:mad:
I like 33 out the 100 songs.
I think open arms should of been #1
And I think that Time (clock of the heart) by culture club should have made on .
