WOW!! This was SOOO good! You hit so many great ones. A couple songs from my youth - “Arthur’s Theme by Christopher Cross and “Up Where We Belong” by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes - would’ve made my list but purely for nostalgic reasons. I also think a case could be made for Adele’s “Skyfall”
Janet Jackson was robbed. ROBBED. "Again" is a timeless classic. Every time she performs it, the entire audience goes nuts and sings every word at the top of their lungs.
Now, "Streets of Philadelphia," does Bruce even perform it anymore unless he's actually in PA? I have questions (and feelings). lol Thanks for the read.
How can you list Over the Rainbow and omit the names of the songwriters, whom I believe were Yip Harburg and Harold Arlen. Yarburg also wrote Brother Can You Spare a Dime.

Thanks as always for commenting Mark! I do love a good Christopher Cross throwback. :)

Love the passion, as a Janet stan I love the song but the Bruce track is also quite powerful.

Another great one, thanks Sherman!
I think you've made good choices, I'd just suggest that "Que Será, Será" belongs in the conversation.
It was one of the last to get cut from the outline. Good pick!
