The Marshall Tucker Band – Can’t You See: 8
It seems that my vote for this was missing for some reason. Great playing on this one.

Electric Light Orchestra – Do Ya: 10
There is no need to be philosophical about this one, as the reason I love this one is very straightforward. This song gives me great energy! There is something in the build with the violins and the powerful guitar riffs that just makes it impossible not to move. When I saw the placement of this song on my list I wondered if I had been a little too generous. The song was on rotation when I compiled the top 1000. But no, this is still irresistible to me.

Today’s song is a bit of an enigma to me. Apparently very popular in Egypt, but not very known outside of it, there is very little I can find about it in a language I speak. Discogs is the only place that has any form of date, so I went with that. I can’t tell you if it was only a single or was also on an album. Neither do I know if the live recording that I find on Spotify is the only one that exists. If Cetamol or anyone else knows more, please tell me.

352. Abdel Halim Hafez – Ala Haseb Widad
Year: 1966
Album: ?
Biggest Fan: cetamol (#945)

Abdel Halim Hafez – Ala Haseb Widad: 7
The recording of the live show is rough, but despite this and the big length it is consistently a captivating. I know too little about this type of music to put it into any kind of context, but hey, I liked it.

Today we actually get a song that was one of the most acclaimed songs of it’s year. It ranks as #6 of 2017, with an all-time placement of #1098. On this forum though, did it only really click with Holden?

Always been legitimately shocked this one doesn’t have more of a following here. I love it!

After all that art pop and Egyptian music, I guess it was inevitable we would now get a country #1 song. It’s just the way this game works. The song is bubblin’ under on AM. At least Toni is a man of hers.

354. Shania Twain – Any Man of Mine
Year: 1995
Album: The Woman in Me
Biggest Fan: Toni (#966)

King Krule – Dum Surfer: 8
I must have heard it back then, but I don't remember it. Strange, as it is a very cool sounding song with it's own sound.

Shania Twain – Any Man of Mine: 5
Inoffensive in a conservative way, but hardly something that grabs me.

A very typical Vampire Weekend song. The good thing about that is that is fun. The downside is that this is not one I would personally chose for a list, but to each their own.

Year: 2010
Album: Reflector
Biggest Fan: CupOfDreams (#852)

After yesterday’s obscure pick we go back to something more classic, a bubblin’ under song from a highly acclaimed album. Leave it to fasbjd to go glam in the most trashy way possible.

357. New York Dolls - Trash
Year: 1973
Album: New York Dolls
Biggest Fan: fasbjd (#650)

Billy Joel appeared no less than five time during the first edition of Biggest Fan, but this time we have only found him in the lyrics of deja vu by Olivia Rodrigo. That all changes today, thanks to Listyguy.

358. Billy Joel – Don’t Ask Me Why
Year: 1980
Album: Glass Houses
Biggest Fan: listyguy (#620)
