Top 100 Songs: #100-#91

I started pulling this together for a Facebook group I'm a part of... and realized that some of you might enjoy reading my musings and memories about music.

• # 100: Magic Power (Triumph - 1981)
• Very fond memories of driving around in my best friend's car with Triumph blaring through open windows.
• #99: Thunder Beach (Crumbächer - 1987)
• It was the summer of '87 and I was youth minister at a church in SE Texas… living in the "Elijah room" above the garage of one of the church families. They had an excellent stereo system - and I played this synth-pop/dance track over & over at full volume when no one else was home.
• #98: Still Know Your Number By Heart (Chagall Guevara - 1991)
• This is not the last time this band will appear in my top 100 list - nor the lead singer (Steve Taylor). As Steve put it, "Since most of us live in Nashville, we figured we needed to have a country song." (They are NOT a country band - but this one is delightful.)
• #97: Moving in Stereo (The Cars - 1978)
• Another high school driving memory - this time in Larry's ancient Dodge with various vocal and instrumental parts moving from speaker to speaker.
• #96: Sticks and Stones (Kings Kaleidoscope - 2017)
• I first heard of Kings Kaleidoscope thanks to "The Rise & Fall of Mars Hill" podcast - this song was the theme song and they were a band that was formed at Mars Hill. The struggle with the church they came out of and what it means to follow God... wow.
• #95: Do It For Love (The 77s - 1986)
• The 77s have recorded this a number of times - but my favorite is still the odd demo version off of their Sticks & Stones album.
• #94: Can You Picture That? (Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem - 1979)
• I love the Muppets. I love "The Muppet Movie". I love "The Muppet Show". And I love that "Muppet Mayhem" TV series on Disney+ made sure this song was a part of the show. "They don't look like Presbyterians to me."
• #93: She Rocked My World (What If - 1987)
• What If only released a single album… but it was a great album-oriented rock album - and "She Rocked My World" was the single. (Another song from '87… seems like there's a trend here.)
• #92: Free Love (The Stand - 1992)
• This also won't be the last time on this countdown I tap Mark Robertson (who also played bass in Rich Mullins' Ragamuffin Band and was the lead guy behind the rockabilly/punk band This Train).
• #91: Let's Talk About Me (Alan Parson Project - 1985)
• It's possible that having a narcissist-in-chief here in the U.S. makes this song resonate even more for me.

There's more to come - 90 more songs, to be exact!
