CAFFE` LATTE`TOP 2000 TRACKS {EXPANDED EDITION}

#1713 SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALRIGHT FOR FIGHTING Elton John
The classic 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' album was rich with a diverse range of music. In 1973, "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" became a British Top 10 hit for Elton John, who co-wrote it with Bernie Taupin. On the track, John rocks out in a manner he rarely does.

#1714 BREAKDOWN Donna Summer
Harold Faltermeyer and Pete Bellotte wrote "Breakdown", an album track featured on Donna Summer's post-disco 1980 release 'The Wanderer'. Bellotte co-produced with Giorgio Moroder.

The list is a ranking made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice.This expanded section now includes songs from the last few years. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
Along with climbing among the remaining Top 100 each day, 2 new songs ranked in positions 1501-2000 will also be added daily.
