Today is Rod Stewart’s 79th birthday and today’s music video of the day is One More Time, taken from his 32nd studio album, The Tears of Hercules. Appearing with Stewart in this video are his actual backup singers, Amanda Miller, Holly Brewer, and Becca Kotte.
Rod Stewart, incidentally, holds the record for being the artist featured most frequently during MTV’s first day of broadcast. On August 1st, 1981, MTV featured eleven of his videos.
As I point out every January, these are my ten favorite songs of the previous year. Other people who have written for TSL over the years may have very different favorite songs of the year. In fact, check out Necromoonyeti’s list of his 35 top albums!
Anyway, here are my ten favorite songs of the previous year. For the most part, my musical tastes tend to run the gamut from EDM to More EDM. That said, I think there’s perhaps a bit of variety to this year’s list as opposed to previous years. Or maybe not. Who knows? I’m typing this up at one in the morning so, to be honest, I’m lucky that I can even keep straight which year I’m writing about.
