I Decided to Rank Every Song Called "Need Your Love" For No Reason!

So this is continuing, for lack of a better idea. No special reason, this was just the next song name I had prepared (seriously, I looked through like every artist in this list, no connection to late July - maybe the month Peter Green left John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers to start Fleetwood Mac?). Anyway, rules as usual: all songs are by professional artists, no X-Factor/bedroom covers, and they're in date order because I am insane or something. Let's learn which "Need Your Love" deserves our love the most...

George Romero: A Reflection

Confession time: I've never thought much of George A Romero's movies. To be fair, that's my own fault, as I seem to be watching them in reverse order. I like Land of the Dead well enough, although it felt a bit schlocky for my tastes, rather cheesy. And I've only seen the final act of Dawn of the Dead, so I can't really comment on it. I remember thinking what I saw was very B-movie, there was a lot of gore there and I couldn't see the reason.

That's because George Romero's movies only make sense in the context of the whole.

I Decided to Rank Every Song Called "Sparks" For No Reason!

As summer really gets going, let's take a look at a classic Coldplay song. "Sparks" was part of their debut album, an album that reached number 1 in the UK on its release in 2000 and won the Grammy award for Best Alternative Music Album two years later. And it was released on the 10th July 17 years ago.

Wow. I'm getting good at making these relevant.

I Decided To Rank Every Song Called "Thinking About You" For No Reason... PART 2!

Alright, last week was a list of amazing songs which were nearly impossible to rank because they all had great qualities, but in the end the top three went to the oldest, the newest, and the most like Lily Allen. Well I have good news for you guys today: this week, we're doing EVEN MORE SONGS WITH THE SAME DAMN NAME.

Fun fact: In 2016 alone there were over a dozen songs released called "Thinking About You" or some variation thereof. The shortest time between releases of songs called "Thinking About You" in 2016 was one day.

Usual rules apply: only originals and covers by professional, licensed artists, and any and all electronic remixes are fair game.

So let's think about "Thinking About You". Again...
