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.
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.
The older I get, the more fitting and relieving the song “Nature’s Way” by Spirit becomes to me.
Somewhere in my basement are a few old 45s that I have had since the 1960s. Two of them are recordings of the Lemon Pipers, including “Green Tambourine”. The term “psychedelic pop” was invented for bands like the Lemon Pipers.
Yes, it’s pretty obvious, Alanis Morissette is underrated as a recording artist. She was a dominant voice in the late 1990s, and I enjoy several of her albums, but I really do like how she put together “Thank U” as a slow but uplifting call for personal enlightenment.
I know I said before that I’m not a big Clash fan, but maybe I don’t know myself. I’ve already posted a Joe Strummer song, and now here’s a great tune from The Clash’s second album, “Give ‘Em Enough Rope”.
You *might* know Garland’s version of Wild in the Streets, or 96 Tears, but Mystery Kids was always my favorite.
Torn and Frayed is one of the severely underplayed songs from The Rolling Stones’ catalog.
I will admit I was never the biggest fan of The Clash. I liked them fine, and saw them as one of the acts on a Day on the Green in the Bay Area, but I own one album by them.
I’ve always liked Roxy Music, it was just different than the rest of the stuff out there, with some curious lyrics. And I love the late albums by the group, but maybe my favorite song by them is “Do The Strand”.
