[50s] Popular Western Music Rankings [By Generation] (91–100)

With or Without YouU296rank/position

U2 – With Or Without You (U2 At The BBC)
With or Without YouU2

U2, the legendary band from Ireland.

I’ve seen them live myself, and I think there are still plenty of hardcore fans in their 50s.

This was the first single cut from their massively successful album The Joshua Tree, and the way the song builds from the intro and then explodes makes it a track that stirs you from the heart, from the soul.

Céline Dion – That’s The Way It Is (Official HD Video)
That's The Way It IsCéline Dion

This is a cheer song by Celine Dion, where the smooth melodic line and pleasant pop sound create a luxurious, high-end finish.

It has a presence that makes you want to sing it at karaoke, and it comfortably suits women in their 30s as well.

Madonna – Like A Prayer (Official Video)

This is an uplifting anthem by Madonna, whose masterful pop skills and exquisitely dance-like sound create a dazzling, high-energy track.

Its fresh, feel-good vibe makes it perfect for karaoke and especially approachable for women in their 30s.

Daryl Hall & John Oates – Maneater (Official Video)

Among Hall & Oates’ classics, this one has a catchy rhythm and a slightly thrilling vibe about a bad woman who preys on men, making it great for the two of us to harmonize to.

There’s a part that, no matter how many times I listen, sounds like Japanese saying “Ore komaranai” (“I’m not bothered”), and singing it that way is hilarious.

We could probably amp things up by doing some light dancing and an air impression of Daryl and John.

Rod Stewart – Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? (Official HD Remastered Video)
Da ya think I'm sexy?Rod Stewart

What Bay City Rollers fans were equally obsessed with was Rod Stewart.

I imagine women in their 50s have a lot of truly nostalgic memories.

Come to think of it, Masanori Sera was like a Japanese-style Rod, wasn’t he…? I think this is the song that’s guaranteed to get former Rod fans fired up.

You can’t help but start moving to it.
