Our Favorite Songs (66 – 70)

by Posted on

66. In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel

Year Released: 1986
Released On: So
Nominated by Rob of Chocolate Cake who says: So this might be Gabriel’s most overplayed song, but it’s still a stunner. The lyric blurs the line between the love for God and the love for a partner. Never one to shy away from adding non-western flavors to his musical palette, the song features a wonderful vocal cameo from Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour. And Hollywood taught us that this song is all you need to win someone back….

DJ MTSPEN of Storytime/Yma Sumac Radio Program nominated the version of this song found on 1994’s Secret World Live.

67. War Pigs by Black Sabbath

Year Released: 1970
Released On: Paranoid
Nominated by Big Bent of Dub Revolution who says: While the Christian right was quick to label these guys as “evil”, Black Sabbath was blowing minds with their positive messages. This anti war doom metal anthem sheds light on the true evildoers of our world.
Also nominated by Andy Chatfield of Center for the Arts Radio Hour.

68. She Loves You by The Beatles

Year Released: 1963
Released On: Swan
Nominated by Larry of Moondog Matinee who says: It’s The Beatles, after all. There are others, but this is the one that started it for me!
Also nominated by DJ McKenzie of The Beatles: A Week in the Life.

69. Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys

Year Released: 2007
Released On: Favourite Worst Nightmare
Nominated by DJ McKenzie of The Beatles: A Week in the Life and DJ Starling of Bump in the Night.

70. Linger by The Cranberries
