#260 Elvis Costello "Veronica"
Have I mentioned that I'm a sucker for story songs? Have I also mentioned I'm a sucker for upbeat songs with a dark topic?

I'll be mentioning EC very soon. And for those who don't know, the song is about his grandmother.
#259 Nick Lowe "Cruel To Be Kind"
Have I mentioned I'm a sucker for upbeat songs with a dark topic? This one intrigued me as a kid. Still does. "I love you, honey"

#258 Genesis "Mama"
HA HA!! ha ha... eowwww.... This blew me away at 13. For a band getting more and more commercial at the time, releasing this as a lead single was absolutely nuts!!

Great album, and I agree with your assessment, but that doesn't mean I like the song.
#257 Korn "Daddy"
Difficult song to listen to. I don't listen to it often. Jonathan Davis couldn't even perform it live for like 20 years. Definitely would be on a list of most disturbing songs ever written (alongside Eminem "Kim"). The bawling at the end is real.

I agree with Scotch, but I like the song. I haven't thought about this one in a long time. What a cool, weird, jarring, song that is.
#256 Queen "We Will Rock You"
Anthem for the ages.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Yeah. And I do like "Champions" a whole lot, but not quite as much. It's on my 500+ list. While they blend quite well, I think each song can stand on its own merits.

Damn MLB rules about only 2:30 minute inning breaks.
True, those vocals are harsh. But to me, they're just another instrument (since I can barely understand what he's saying anyway).
The song was written about the guest vocalist's step-son who died. The line "walking through this world with your head up high" was something the step-son had written on a piece of paper to use as a lyric someday. So they included it in honor of him.

#254 Suzanne Vega "Luka"

I am really confused. You name Luka, but then you post a clip of Tom's Diner. And then Hectic comments on a different version of the song (by DNA).
Let me offer my own thoughts. I love Suzanne Vega, and Solitude Standing is a great album. However, as with many of sadchild's picks, while I respect the elements of the big hits that made them popular (in this case Luka), I tend not to favor the overplayed, commercialized songs from the album. I will probably cover this album at a later time.
