60. The Sign – Ace Of Base – 1994 – For one night only, they gave ABBA a run for their money – B+
59. Apologize – Onerepublic – 2007 – Has it been really six years since this lousy song stank on a lousy Timbaland album? – D
58. Gold Digger – Kanye West – 2005 – His first number one and it sounds as fresh today as eight years ago – A
57. I’m A Believer – The Monkees – Sure, it’s a great song because Neil Diamond wrote a great song, but it is a game changer and masterpiece because Mickey Dolenz sang the hell of it. Not just the coda (where you can hear Jones singing back up) but the build up has a deep and sexy undertow just below: it is a passionate vulnerability and it made the Monkees stars – A+
56. Tik Tok – Ke$ha – 2010 – Nah, she never equalled it but so what, it’s still here – A
55. Lady – Kenny Rogers – 1980- The definition of AOR, a sickening thud of a song – D+
54. Stayin’ Alive – Bee Gees – 1978 – Discos greatest crossover hit, not only a monster dance track with a bass line to die for but superb vocals and as New York as three Australians could possibly be – A+
53, Let Me Love You – Mario – 2005 – Pretty good r&b groove, co-written by Ne-Yo before he went in search of his mother – B+
52. Call me – Blondie – 1980- Debbie, Moroder, designer sheets, Gere and Hutton, disco, money, power, corruption, murder – A
51. Boom Boom Pow – Black Eyed Peas – 2009 – The entire BeP around this time was a coming of age from rock nyc. We were raving about the album months and months before the rest of the world noticed – A
