Full disclosure: I probably wouldn't have found Journey again were it not for how prominenty this track was featured at the end of the Sopranos. Be that as it may, it caught my attention, and I spent the next Saturday at the office, transported to the early 80s, listening to Journey tracks.

Speaking of guitar solos, Eddie Van Halen made "Beat It" one of the most popular pop songs ever. Even before the famous solo, the guitar part during the verses is what makes this song so catchy. I would put it higher but the lyrics are too weak. The video is priceless with rival gangs dancing together, how the 80s were so innocent.

"Sweet Caroline" is a pop song written and performed by Neil Diamond and officially released on September 16, 1969, as a single. There are three distinct mixes of this song. The original mono 45 mix had a loud orchestra and glockenspiel compared to the stereo version on the Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show LP. The third version was a remix found only on the initial CD release of Neil Diamond's "His 12 Greatest Hits". This version has the orchestra mixed down very noticeably and has the background vocals mixed up. It has a longer fade as well. The song reached #4 on the Billboard chart and eventually went platinum for sales of one million singles. In the fall of 1969, Diamond performed "Sweet Caroline" on several television shows. It later reached #8 on the UK singles chart in 1971.

It was ranked fourth in the greatest guitar riffs of all time by Sync magazine[citation needed]. In 2006, VH1 named "Rock You Like a Hurricane" number 31 on their 40 Greatest Metal Songs and in 2009 it was named the 18th greatest hard rock song of all time also by VH1.

I know it's incredibly fashionable to not like Phil Collins, but I think he's great. In fact, I always have. His work with Genesis is amazing, and his 80s hits were all incredibly catchy. I rather loathe the Disney tracks he worked on in the 90's, but Face Value was such a brilliant record that I'll forgive his later blunders.

I can't say I'm a fan of any of her other songs, but I can't help but be transfixed on the video for this one.
