Well, I figure that since I’ve already exposed my musical soul here, I decided that I would repost my list & invite the rest of you to chip in with the Top 5-10 (or more if you’d like) songs in YOUR music collection (whether iTunes or old-school) that you’re embarrassed to say are there, but you just can’t get enough of.

To start things off (& to get the conversation flowing), here are Top 5 (with some explanation):

“Lead Me On” – Amy Grant: I’ve always carried a torch for Mrs. Gill (or is Vince now Mr. Grant??), and this is simply my favorite song off her best album. I make no apologies for my love for Amy Grant. It’s too bad that Christians hated her for so many years — this woman actually knows how to write a honest song about her faith without watering it down for radio play and easy record sales.

“Toxic” – Britney Spears: This is simply a killer track with a driving beat. Even if the girl has gone wacko, it doesn’t diminish how great this song is as a single. The dark, minor key string swells mixed with a solid guitar riff mixed with a vinyl airline stewardess outfit — is there anything wrong with that?

“Somebody Told Me” – The Killers: This band is the definition of hipster guilty pleasure: ’80s synth lines, emo-style lyrics filled with whiny jealousy, tons of radio play, and it’s STILL a song that you can’t shake from your head. Mr. Flowers — leave Jersey to The Boss and return to Las Vegas while you still can.

“Fix You” – Coldplay: Admit it folks. Just go ahead and admit it. We’ve all sung along with Mr. Martin when he launches into the big vamp at the end of the song. In fact, if you’re too afraid to do it yourself, I’ll sing with you this time. “Tears stream down your face….”

“Kiss Me” – Sixpence None The Richer: Forget all of those worthless teen movies & how overplayed this song became on the radio and high school proms for about 2-3 years around the turn of the millennium. This was always a fun, breezy, lighthearted song about idealistic young lovers from a deep and talented band that too many people didn’t appreciate because they only know this song. But still, I love this song….

Anyone else?!? Who wants to expose themselves for the whole world to see? Who will join me in liberating their musical libraries!
