Song I should have but don’t, part 1: “He Stopped Loving Her Today”, George Jones (#275). I should have more George Jones, full stop.
Song I should have but don’t, part 2: “Wild Thing”, The Troggs (#261). The MOB has a great version of this. We should play it more often.
Song the girls would probably like if I played it for them: “Heart of Glass”, Blondie #259). More Blondie. And why not?
Again, to be clear, it’s the Buckley version of “Hallelujah” that’s on the list here. It won’t surprise me if there are other versions of it later on. I’m still a little stunned that “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”, which I consider one of the greatest songs of all time, didn’t crack the top half of this list. Whatever, Rolling Stone.
