Driving rhythm and sharp witty lyrics make this a classic.

Cheeky Song by The Cheeky Girls
Overtly sexual but with a sensual hidden message in the lyrics.

Barbie Girl by Aqua
Clever condemnation of consumerism set to wonderfully rich melodies.

Ebony & Ivory by McCartney and Wonder
The song that single-handedly ended apart ...[text shortened]... ballad kept Ultravox's Vienna off the number 1 spot in 1981.

I heartily recommend them all.

Indeed, it's a wonder we haven't heard any of these at the Last Night of the Proms.

Traditionally Agadoo is played just after Land of Hope and Glory.

Di'anno was da man, too punk for Maiden and apparently too drunk as well, Dickenson was an opera singer, like AC/DC after the death of Bon Scott, they would never be the same, sadly 😀

i cried like a little baby...

a day in the life- the beatles
shelter from the storm- bob dylan
turn the page- bob seger
two hangmen- mason proffit
time has come today- the chambers brothers

angie, and sympathy for the devil would have made this list...
cinnamon girl and cowgirl in the sand would have made this list...

if you can find it, the album "remember the future", by nektar is most spectacular...

and that is quite enough from the olde fart...

Planet Rain - Devin Townsend
Everything - VNV Nation
Cross of Hatred - Angel Dust
We Are All That We Are - Angels & Airwaves
Beyond the Black Hole - Gamma Ray

Only "Planet Rain" is assured a place among the Top Five for all time, however.
