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 378: Let’s Have A WarHave 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.
- Song 379: I & IIf you had asked me in 1999 who was new and going to be a big star, I might have said Taja Seville. She’s had a good music career but I don’t think she’d claim she was a big star.
- Song 380: I’m Not Your ManI lived in Sacramento in the late 1980s and I don’t ever remember hearing of Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers back then. In 1991 we moved to Pennsylvania and all of a sudden they were on the radio. I know they were from Pennsylvania but they deserved better exposure than that.
- Song 381: Suspicious MindsElvis Presley is not a performer from my generation. Sure, I was alive during some of his hits, but I have always considered him to be of my parents’ generation. As such, most of his recordings don’t really capture my attention. Suspicious Minds is the exception.
- Song 382: Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)How can you not love Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) by Sly & The Family Stone? Funk riffs, plenty of horns delicately placed in the background, and that fantastic slap of the bass.
- Song 383: Rainy, Windy, Sunshine (Rodeo Road)I know this is a simple country pop song from the 1970s, but the vocals work well. I’ve always liked the first album by The Bellamy Brothers (and I will admit, I have no others). It’s where their biggest hit, Let Your Love Flow, came from as well.
