I like when the Edge does these countdowns. They go back into their archives to times when they just weren't a corporate rock station and pull out some gems. There were some serious emo kids listening to this countdown who had no idea what was going on when "Wicked Game" popped into #4.
That said, there are too many songs overtly about sex on there, and not enough good ones to have sex too. I mean, for cliche factor it's only missing 'Let's Get It On.' Do they expect people to be going at it during 'Closer' and when the "I want to fuck you like an animal" line comes on, the two partners turn to each other and say, "You know, that's not a bad idea; let's see how that feels."
I also think 'Heterosexual Man' will haunt Chris Northley and Stephen Drake until the day they die.
Cheers,
Pat
