Jay's Top Picks

This must have been the hardest blog to write about. What are my favourite songs of the decades? I have so many – and choosing specific ones was hard. But really, the hardest thing was choosing what to write my last blog post on. And so here I am, 5/5 posts – listing my favourite songs of the decades!

60’s

Song: Son of a Preacher Man

Artist: Dusty Springfield

About this song: Not written by Dusty herself, but recorded by her in 1968 for her album. A classic song of the 60’s and a well-known one by most!

70’s

Song: Let’s Stay Together

Artist: Al Green

About this song: A song from 1971, and one of my favourite songs ever. (even though I actually prefer the Tina Turner version) This song, believe it or not, was ranked the 16^th greatest song of all time.

80’s

Song: Hold Me Now

Artist: Thompson Twins

About this song: Every time I am in my car – I have this song on. What a tune! Released in 1983. This is one of my favourite songs ever.

90’s

Song: Nothing Compares 2U

Artist: Sinead O’Connor

About this song: This song was written and composed by Prince. Released in 1990 by Sinead O’Connor (great name by the way), and became a worldwide hit – and so it should have.

00’s

Song: Falling Slowly

Artist: Glen Hansard & Marketa Iglova

About this song: A beautiful song from Once, released in 2008. A classic love song, sweet and soft. You could listen to this song all day.

All I have left to say is… go listen to these songs. And thanks for reading my blog posts. 5/5, done!
