The 2007 Top 77 All-Time Favorite Hits (Tenth Edition) Commentary and analysis by Mike Riccio. Compilation by Tom Natoli and Mike Riccio. Technical assistance from Craig Harris and Chad Olszyk. Web support from Bob Shannon and Ron Kovacs. Thanks to link postings by Pat St. John, Bill Danning, and other supporters. Wow, is it 2007 already? Huh, what?...you say it's almost 2008! Well, time really DOES fly! So then, we guess that means it's time to reveal ANOTHER Top 77 All-Time Favorite List! Yup, it's just as you guys voted for them! After many, many, many, many, many (did we make our point yet?) sleepless nights by Tom (throughout the calculation of the numbers) and me (doing the writing and scripting once the final tabulations were in, as in from right now through next week), we have in our grimy little fingers...the BRAND NEW results of the biggest hits of all-time as voted by you. AND as a bonus for you, we'll start off with the "extras"...the songs that just missed the top 77 on the list that we usually don't reveal. We'll do that on day one, and then go from #77 to #1 in groups of about 20 songs a day until we get to #1 on the weekend. Here are the results of YOUR tenth annual All-Time Top 77!
