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 380: I’m Not Your Man
    I 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 Minds
    Elvis 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.
  • Song 384: It Don’t Come Easy
    This isn’t the first solo Beatles’ song to be listed and it won’t be the last, but it is likely to be the only Ringo Starr song. It feels like this song primarily came from the mind of George Harrison, and Starr admitted that Harrison co-wrote it, but nevertheless it is well performed by Starr.
  • Song 385: Nature’s Way
    The older I get, the more fitting and relieving the song “Nature’s Way” by Spirit becomes to me.
