It's Listacular Tuesday!

Here at Grits and Gravy I've decided to institute Tuesday's list. I will make a list of five things under a category of my own choosing. I will encourage you, friends, to share your own list or berate (or compliment!) me about mine.

Here goes nuthin:

Top 5 (in no particular order) perfect songs in popular music

1. "The Weight" by the Band
2. "Wouldn't it be Nice" by the Beach Boys
3. "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones
4. "Son of a Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield
5. "Don't Stop 'til You get Enough" by MJ

Honorable Mention: "Tears of a Clown"; "Fat Bottomed Girls"; "Me and Bobby McGee"; "I Wanna Hold your Hand."

  2. I like your list, lady! I do kind of feel like Ms. Ross mIght find us and kick our shins for not including her, anywhere. "Reflections" is pretty close to perfection.
