#99 Only the Lonely -- The Motels (1982)



The more senior among you may remember that "Only the Lonely" was the first big hit for Roy Orbison, way back in 1960. This is a completely different (although equally great) song, although the last repetition of the title by Martha Davis near the very end has always brought back memories of Roy. 

For a great short set of related tunes, throw in "When You’re Only Lonely" by J. D. Souther. (And of course "Thunder Road.")
