A lot of people don’t remember the Danny Kirwan era of Fleetwood Mac. It was late 1960s and early 1970s, and his clashes with Peter Green eventually ended up with Green leaving the band.
ChatGPT never rates Psycho by Puddle of Mudd very highly, recommending other options, for purposes of my 500.
I found Salt-N-Pepa to be a decent listen in their heyday. But this isn’t them. This is the original “What A Man” by Linda Lyndell from the 1960s. Stax Records. Great version.
Ivo is a textured atmospheric song by the Cocteau Twins. I have listened to it with headphones or ear buds since I first discovered it . If you’re allowing background noise to filter in, you’re listening to it wrong.
The Mummers’ Dance was a decent hit for Loreena McKennitt in the late 1990s. But after the album it came from, The Book of Secrets, she kind of disappeared.
I like to think I’m pretty knowledgeable about 1970s rock music. But I first remember hearing “Lay Down” in 2025.
Thank You For Sending Me An Angel was originally created and done by one of my favorite bands, Talking Heads. This version is by Blondshell. Ethereal.
What’d I Say is the song that propelled Ray Charles to the music public. It came out in 1959, and lead to a dynamic decade for him in the 1960s.
