No cheating. Here's mine with some real time comments.
1)
AC/DC – Highway to Hell – When my friends were listening to AC/DC I was listening to Cheap Trick and Gary Numan, so I was a Johnny-come-lately to really embracing them. But now I love those giant guitar riffs, and this is one of my favorites (although I think they’re high water mark is the live version of “Whole Lotta Rosie”)
2)
JOHN LENNON – Oh Yoko – A song I never cared for until a year or two ago, and now I think it’s one of the sweetest throw-away Lennon ever did.
3)
BOYCE and HART – Teardrop City – One of my favorite Monkees songs, as done by the guys that wrote it.
4)
CHRIS MARS – Whining Horse – Yes, I know his voice isn’t that good, but I absolutely love every single minute of his first two solo albums.
5)
PRETENDERS – Up the Neck – Not one of my faves off the first album (or is the second – I don’t want to get up and look right now), but still a fine song. Actually, now that it’s playing, maybe this IS one of my faves.
6)
BEATLES – Little Child – Now I just want to rock out to the first few Beatles albums.
7)
BLOW-UP – Pool Valley – OK, I had to get up to see what this was. I threw about 20 songs onto the MP3 player from the Creation Records boxset, and this makes me realize that I need to hear more by these guys. This is great pop that brings to mind mid period Hoodoo Gurus and House of Love – which where I come from, is a good thing.
8)
the LIVING END – Nowhere Town – If Brian Setzer and Green Day had a baby, and it drank a lot of coffee, it’d sound like the Living End.
9)
the DEL ROYALS – Always Naggin (Grumblin Fussin Nag Nag) - Fun vintage R&B from the Mint Records box.
10)
ROD STEWART - You Wear It Well -When this started I had no clue why I put it on the MP3 player, but now that it's going I remember how good early Rod Stewart really was.
Once I got enough songs loaded onto my MP3 player to have constant variety I've stopped listening to radio and haven't looked back. Damn I love MP3 player shuffle when I don't know what CD or album to put on.
