Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2018 3:46 pm
It's Gaming Eve for me. Less than twenty hours to go until the 2018 CinCityCon opens. Without further ado, let's get closer to the top!
#30. Kiss from a Rose, Seal (1994)
Boney Hall of Fame: #198
The Batman Forever soundtrack gave us this beautiful Grammy-winning #1 hit.

#29. Close to You, Maxi Priest (1990)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mJ0zCD3tdA
#28. Famous Last Words, Billy Joel (1993)
Appropriate title and prescient lyrics, as this was the closing track on the Piano Man's last pop album. Every original song he has written since then has been in the classical genre.

#27. Downtown Train, Rod Stewart (1990)
Tom Waits's 1985 song finally got its due five years later with Rod's legendary and massively successful cover version.

#26. Hero, David Crosby f/ Phil Collins (1993)
Yes, David Crosby released a song in 1993, and I'm willing to bet that fewer than two other Bored Buddies know about this one. David and Phil co-wrote this beautiful track that peaked at #44 on the Hot 100 and #3 on the AC chart.

#25. Place in This World, Michael W. Smith (1991)
And now a triple threat of contemporary Christian musicians begins with this Top 10 hit from the West Virginia-born Grammy winner.

#24. Every Heartbeat, Amy Grant (1991)
Here's one of the biggest hits from the most successful contemporary Christian artist of all time.

#23. Everything Changes, Kathy Troccoli (1991)
And topping the Christian trio is this native Brooklynite's biggest pop hit.

#22. Love Sneakin' Up on You, Bonnie Raitt (1994)

#21. The First Time, Surface (1990)

The next installment will also be a Thursday afternoon post. Until then, I'm resting up from tomorrow.
