I know I've forgotton something & it makes me feel like I left my dog outside all day! I had to think of what I could listen to two, three or four times in a row. I didn't take into account what was influential or essential, just a bunch of songs I like, cool or not, what has good memories attached, great dance songs, etc. I'm a sucker for a great pop song & a great single, and I'm not embarrassed that there's a Toni Basil song in my top ten!
