Hey Jude by The Beatles

Angela100, do you remember the Eric Burdon song "Spill the Wine"? That could be a favorite for you couldn't it? |
Albert, are you referencing a few of my posts where I am "spilling a little wine?" It is a great song :-) |
Yes, and stomping your feet, wanting the + vote (remember?). That really makes me laugh. |
"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. Granted I am young only 24 but, I doubt anyone will disagree. |
Free Bird by Skynard of course, reminds me of my good old single days. Ahhhhh! Me and the fellas and joyriding night on the town. Many nights cruising the strips, looking for woman, but mostly hanging out having fun. It's all a distant memory now, got teenagers of my own now. But when I hear Free Bird, I still want to put the windows down, kick the old lady out, grab a six-pack and cruise. |
There was an AM underground station in Charlotte NC back in the early 70's and one of the DJ's played Free Bird for 2 straight DAYS! He was so tired of getting requests, he tried his own Therapy on his audience. It was hillarious! Over and Over and Over and Over again.... Of course the station's motto was "the station with balls" |

"If I Needed You" by Townes Van Zandt.....the "best damn songwriter in America", according to Steve Earle, and "I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee-table and say so" The wonderful medodies and poetry of TVZ continue to enthrall me...I have almost all of his stuff on both CD and vinyl. Covered by a multitude of major artists. Another who passed on too soon @ 51 years of age. |
"Desperado" by the Eagles. |
