There was a time I didn’t really appreciate Bruce Springsteen.
Begin the Begin is 3 minutes and 27 seconds of the best of R.E.M. They have songs that are its equal. They have no tracks that are better.
The title track of Roxy Music’s “Avalon” album is a dreamy mellow favorite of mine. Sadly, this came from Roxy Music’s last studio album.
John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, came up with a great song in Rise as part of his Public Image, Ltd., project. Of course, it came a decade after the Pistols. I think Lydon blinks ONCE in this whole video.
“So you feel like the gods are out to get you
You feel like you’ve fallen from grace
And you’d run again if they’d only let you
Welcome to the human race”
U2’s EP, Under A Blood Red Sky, was the first time I had ever heard of Red Rocks in Colorado. I knew then I wanted to go to a show there.
I’m not quite the fan as many people my age are of Prince’s music. There’s some I really like, and by far the one I like the most is U Got The Look (with Sheena Easton).
I have a love/ignore relationship with Blondie. There are 5 or 6 of their songs that are always welcome to my ears, including this one.
Misguided Angel is one of my favorites by the Cowboy Junkies. I absolutely love how Margo Timmins’ voice connects to the guitar playing.
Rolling Stones fans can tell this is mostly a Keith Richards song. From the album Tattoo You.
