Hi Marti Great topic as you said try to remember back when you first heard those songs. Just yesterday i was feeling a little devilish. I began to sing "Sympathy for the devil" Rolling Stones. Not sure what was going on at the time but song seemed appropriate for that time

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis - Rolling Stones (my old hometown)

Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' You don't quit drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln! - Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

the intro (i think about 2 and a half minutes) of doctors of madness' "noises of the evening" is maybe the most perfect section of music ever.

lately, i've been feeling like the overall greatest recording is "cup of dreams" by thinking fellers union local 282 and that's got one hell of an intro too.

Yes...

but you SO need a Dan Danner spanner !!!   🎸🔧

There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold. And she's buying the stairway to heaven! (I can't believe nobody's brought this one up!)
