[50s] Popular Western Music Rankings [By Generation] (21–30)
HimRupert Holmes29rank/position
Rupert Holmes is a singer who transitioned from band work to a solo career, and before he became successful, he also worked as a producer and songwriter.
Along with “Escape,” this song was one of his hits, and its theme is questioning a woman on whether she will choose him or the other man.
Take Me Home Country RoadsOlivia Newton-John30rank/position
Lots of musicians have sung it, but “Country Roads” sung by Olivia—like a spring breeze fairy before she released “Physical”—is especially refreshing.
No matter when you sing it, it’s a happy song that unfolds a grand springtime landscape of nature right before your eyes.
If everyone taps tambourines and castanets and rings some bells while singing, the vibe doubles.
[50s] Popular Western Music Ranking [By Generation] (31–40)
California GirlsDavid Lee Roth31rank/position
A Beach Boys cover sung by Van Halen’s vocalist, David Lee Roth.
You could even say this David version has made the song completely his own, surpassing the original! The music video was so Dave-like, packed with women in swimsuits.
It’s definitely a number you’ll want to sing on a hot summer day.
Upside DownDiana Ross32rank/position
This is an uplifting song by Diana Ross, where her expressive vocals stand out over a sound style steeped in disco-funk.
Despite its deep, moody atmosphere, it’s also very popular among women in their 40s, and its glamorous energy makes it a great choice for livening up karaoke.
Power Of LoveHuey Lewis & The News33rank/position
A representative song by Huey Lewis & The News, a very wholesome American hard rock band of middle-aged guys.
It’s the theme song of Back to the Future, a lively, high-energy track.
Let’s all raise our fists and have fun together.
VenusBananarama34rank/position
A cover of the Dutch rock band Shocking Blue.
Among the many covers, this Bananarama version might be the one most people first heard.
At the height of the bubble era, it was played a lot in discos.
In this MV, like Buruzon Chiemi with B, there are lots of half-naked men surrounding the queen (Venus).
It’s a track you can enjoy without overthinking it.
We Are The WorldUSA For Africa35rank/position
A charity song in which early-80s superstars gathered for a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration to help relieve famine and poverty in Africa, timed with the Grammy Awards.
Co-written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, it became a hit selling about 10 million copies worldwide.
