5. Circle of Life/ I Just Can't Wait To Be King/ Can You Feel The Love Tonight. They count as one because they all live on the same ancient Lion King tape that I still listened to long after CDs and MP3s ruled the music universe. Touches my heart, it really does.
4. Tiny Dancer. Ah so cliche right? But it's such a classic and I have a soft spot for songs that are longer than 6 minutes long. Do you think someone like the Jonas Brothers could handle a song of that magnitude?
3. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It's just fantastic.
2. I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues. This is what I rock out to alone in my underwear. I love the cheesy chorus of background singers in the later parts of the song.
1. I Want Love. I like to sing this song loudly and obnoxiously. Unfortunately I can never quite get the words right, but I bet Robert Downey Jr. wasn't mouthing the right words in the music video either.
As a note, midway through this list I realized I should have made this list 25 songs long because it was so hard to choose, but I just didn't have enough interesting commentary.
