1976 Songs: Somebody to Love

Four Walls @FourWalls (86755) • United States 20 Mar

NO, not the Jefferson Airplane song (that was 1967, so you’ll have to wait until next year for that one ). But you’ll remember this great tune from 1976. And, as I reiterate, this isn’t meant to make you feel old...

Not to make you feel old or anything, but… I say that a lot when it comes to music. Every year I do those anniversary songs (50, 60 and now 70 year old songs) in conjunction with my birthday (to make ME feel old...

Sunny Songs: Tequila Sunrise

Four Walls @FourWalls (86755) • United States 17 Jul

What can I say? I suppose the only shock is that this song isn’t in the top ten, right? Yes, the sun shines on one of my favorite bands and my absolute favorite album of theirs. Everyone except The Dude Lebowski can sing along!...

50-Year-Old Songs: Radar Love

Four Walls @FourWalls (86755) • United States 15 May 24

It’s time to hop in the car and drive back 50 years to 1974! One thing I’ve noticed as we’re at the halfway point of the month: I’ve used a lot of these songs in other top ten lists. That shows you what a great year 1974 was for...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86755) • United States 8 May 24

Last night we had an EF-0 tornado just north of the metro area, out of a storm that wasn’t 20,000 feet tall. No injuries, thank God. The meteorologist on TV said that it goes to show you that storms in this kind of soupy...

1973 Songs: Rocky Mountain Way

Four Walls @FourWalls (86755) • United States 14 May 23

So….was yesterday’s song too obscure? Too pop? Too…whatever? This should fix that. Again, all of this strange mix just shows the wild and wonderful diversity we had in 1973. So, if you haven’t heard it on the radio...
