Welcome to Wayne’s Top 500 Songs You Don’t Listen to Enough. Give these tunes a shot, I’m sure you find some you really like that you don’t remember.

  • Song 371: What Is Hip?
    So I was a kid in California when Tower of Power came out with the album that gave us “What is Hip”.  Tower of Power was from Oakland, and back in those days I’d listen to AM radio from San Francisco and they played this song quite a bit. 
  • Song 372: Other Side
    “Other Side” should be a hit at any time.  This version has so many enjoyable artists participating (Illenium & Said The Sky & Vera Blue).
  • Song 373: Joan of Arc
    In 1987, Jennifer Warnes released an album of Leonard Cohen songs entitled Famous Blue Raincoat.  At the time, I remembered Warnes from a 1977 hit, but I was just starting to get into Leonard Cohen.
  • Song 374: Cissy Strut
    You can find music all sorts of different ways.  Sometimes you find them as background music of commercials.  I *think* that’s how I tuned into “Cissy Strut” by The Meters.
  • Song 377: Wild Fire Woman
    Bad Company can bring me back to the summer after high school graduation very easily.  “The Cruise” on First Street in Livermore was big, and everyone had their car stereos blaring music, and Bad Company was very often on ours.
  • Song 378: Let’s Have A War
    Have you ever heard the song “Let’s Have A War” by Fear?  (I wish it didn’t fit as part of a soundtrack of our time’s news cycle, but it does.) Well then, you probably aren’t a giant fan of the cult classic movie “Repo Man” in the mid 1980s.
