Concrete & Clay – Unit 4 + 2

[Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon. (I always sing the "awwwrooooooo"s)
[/QUOTE]

People who don’t howl along with Zevon have no soul. :slight_smile:

Instead of making a list, allow me to nominate the one song that leaps to mind: Lola, by the Kinks. They play the shit out of it on the stations I listen to, and I still stop for it every day.

Feelin’ Alright – the live version from Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Piece of My Heart - Janis Joplin
(That whole album captures the late 60’s San Francisco sound)

When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge
(Quintessential R&B song)

**I Can’t Win ** - Ry Cooder
(White ?? R&B)

**Angel From Montgomery ** - Bonnie Raitt
(As close as I want to get to Country & Western)

**Born in the USA ** - Bruce Springsteen
(The end of Old Goat’s rebellion stage)

**A Case of You ** - Diana Krall
(Old Goat slides into the maudlin stage)

Thinking of songs that get TONS of airplay and still sound good to me, I’m going with:

“Rebel, Rebel” by David Bowie
Another vote for “Boys of Summer” by Don Henly

Joe Walsh’s All Night Long

Bonus: Vampires, coffee, and pinball machines (two of my favorite things)

*Are the two guys at the 1:07 mark famous? The red head on the right looks familiar. Last name rhymes with prick.

Us – Regina Spektor

More, I’m sure…

Monkey - September is an excellent choice.

Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way

In these type of threads I think listing 20-30 songs becomes counter-productive. Anyone can do that, and they all end up getting lost in the sauce.

So, for now, I’ll just offer these few:

Everybody Knows - Concrete Blonde
Things Have Changed - Bob Dylan
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty
Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
