Fugazzi Grand (740-721)

740. "Feeling Alright" (Joe Cocker, Joe Cocker!, 1969)
I love this song whether Cocker or Belushi sing it.

739. "Summer, Highland Falls" (Billy Joel, Turnstiles, 1976)
"it's either sadness or euphoria"

738. "I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford)" (Elton John, Rock of the Westies, 1975)
I try so hard to hit the high notes, and I fail every time.

737. "Scare Easy" (Mudcrutch, Mudcrutch, 2008)
I pretty much like anything Tom Petty does.

736. "Relator" (Yorn & Johansson, Break Up, 2009)
When I heard about this project, I rolled my eyes, but I genuinely like the album.

735. "Charlotte's Web" (Annie and the Beekeepers, Annie and the Beekeepers, 2007)
Remember the name.

734. "Walls (Circus)" (Tom Petty, She's the One, 1996)
The song that plays for the opening and closing credits of one of my all time favorite movies.

733. "Have Mercy on the Criminal" (Elton John, Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, 1973)
This is one of my favorite Elton albums, and this is a really good recording.

732. "Come Out and Play" (The Offspring, Smash, 1994)
16 years later, still a fun song.

731. "Swingin' Party" (The Replacements, Tim, 1985)
By far, my favorite Mats album.

730. "Casino Queen" (Wilco, A.M. , 1995)
I'm hot and cold with Wilco (didn't like the self titled one), but this is still a favorite.

729. "Big Shot" (Billy Joel, 52nd Street, 1978)
One of the many concert staples at a Billy Joel show.

728. "Rags to Riches" (Tony Bennett, Fifty Years, 2004)
Used perfectly in Good Fellas.

727. "Out of Touch" (Hall & Oates, The Very Best, 80's)
I still remember the "World Premier" for the video.

726. "You Might Think" (The Cars, Heartbeat City, 1984)
One of my earlier MTV memories.

725. "Turn off the Light" (Nelly Furtado, Whoa Nelly, 2000)
"follow me, follow me, follow me down down down down"

724. "Here Comes a Regular" (The Replacements, Tim, 1985)
Watch out for "Tim" when I eventually rank my all time favorite albums.

723. "Your House" (Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, 2005)
The "hidden track", re-recorded 10 years later.

722. "I'm Losing You" (Corinne Bailey Rae, Instant Karma, 2007)
This is a live recording of a Lennon cover. Great vocalist. My sister would "switch teams" for her.

721. "Hide and Seek" (Imogen Heap, Speak For Yourself, 2005)
I'm not gonna lie to you. This made the list because of SNL. And because of it, my daughter knows all the words.
