#1,560: Sting – “Fields of Gold”

If these songs were being ranked by how pleasant they’d sound during oral surgery, “Fields of Gold” might come in at #1. But since they’re at least somewhat being judged by how “Modern Rock” they were, this one has a case for coming in dead last. Good luck finding a less rock n’ roll sentence than, “Sting was inspired to write the song by the sights he could see from his Wiltshire Manor House, which was surrounded by fields of barley.”
