7 songs that should have been higher in the 1999 Hottest 100

ABC  

Hindsight can be a beautiful thing if you don't take things too seriously. But, geez, it's better than 'Good Day Ray', which rocketed into the 1999 Hottest 100 at number 68. Blur – 'Tender' Loading One of Blur's most enduring and beautiful songs couldn't even make the top half of the countdown. But what irks me more than this less than stellar showing from such a beautiful song is that 'Asleep In Perfection' was the only song from the band's brilliant debut album Sunset Studies that ever made a Hottest 100. It's sure as hell more impressive than 2007 single 'The Salmon Dance', which is the duo's highest placing Hottest 100 track.
