Along with staying at a great little hotel downtown, my wife Melissa and I stayed with our friends Debbie and Joel, who live in the wonderfully named suburb of Harrow on the Hill. Joel asked me at one point to list and email him my top twenty songs. At first I balked, but Joel can be a very convincing guy!
This list represents what felt like an honest attempt. My main criterion was: "what songs can I recall that I've either played obsessively or can listen to at any time?"
I hope this list will reignite my long-ignored music writing blog.

That heavy gtr downstroke that drops when Paul Rodgers sings "that's why they call me . . . . Bad Company" will to me forever be known as The Bad Company Chord. Total genius.
