65. "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders
Album Title: Last of the Independents
Year: 1994
Chrissie Hynde's voice is just gorgeous, whether she's belting out rock songs, chanting about being "special" or singing sweet love songs. The combination of that fantastic voice and the lyrics to this song has always made it my favorite Pretenders song.
64. "Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino
(Single)
Year: 1956
A lot of artists have recorded this song, but to me this is the only one that matters.
63. "Wig In A Box" by Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Album Title: Hedwig and the Angry Inch Soundtrack
Year: 2001
I love the whole soundtrack but to me this song is the most fun.
62. "Don't Come Around Here No More" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Album Title: Southern Accents
Year: 1985
Southern Accents is my favorite Tom Petty album. Every song on it is a gem. Sadly most of the studio versions of those songs aren't on youtube for me to share so I'll just stick with this fantastic single.
61. "El Matador" by The Kingston Trio
Album Title: Sold Out
Year: 1960
After finding out that The Kingston Trio were one of Lindsey Buckingham's biggest influences, I bought a compilation cd of the band's years with Capitol records. "El Matador" stood out as an instant favorite. I still love it the most, though I really like most of what I've heard from the Trio.
