I am not sure this is a good sign or a bad sign, but aside from a couple songs difference, our lists are almost identical.

Haha, except you probably didn't pick Evergreen. But yes, some of the sappy songs are actually classics. So that brings us on par.

Barbara Streisand is an incredibly talented singer with wonderful vocal range. But her vocal range is fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears particularly her 70s stuff. A few of her songs in the early 80s when she worked with the Gibbs I find good. Other than that, they would usually be marked as a channel changer. I didn't list my channel changers this week but she would be on it.
