Notes:
This is the last post of 2010 as I am on vacation as of today.  I was hoping to get through the "I" songs before the end of the year, but I simply ran out of time.  I also finished the year 47 songs shy of 5,000.  Lots of great music finished out the year.  Here are my favorites:
  • "Is That All There Is?" by Peggy Lee
  • "Is This Love" by Bob Marley & The Wailers
  • "Island Girl" by Elton John
  • "Island of Lost Souls" by Blondie
  • "Isn't She Lovely?" by Stevie Wonder
  • "It's a Heartache" by Bonnie Tyler
  • "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" by James Brown
  • "It's a Shame" by The Spinners
  • "It's a Shame About Ray" by The Lemonheads
  • "It's All I Can Do" by The Cars
  • "It's All Too Much" by The Beatles
  • "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" by Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffett
  • "It's In The Way That You Use It" by Eric Clapton
  • "It's Late" by Ricky Nelson
  • "It's My Life" by The Animals
  • "It's My Party" by Leslie Gore
