mott the hoople

Three days until April Fools Day, when I count down my favorites by Yoko Ono. Fear not: my music tastes are weird, but they ain’t that bad. Back to 1976 for another great song that doesn’t...

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Young Americans

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 12 Dec 24

Sandwiched in between two “mellow” singers at the end of this alphabetical list of my favorite charted singles is this. It makes an interesting switch between what came before it and what closes this out tomorrow. And, like...

100 favorite rock songs

Ah, the joys of simultaneous countdowns in two different genres when you’re alphabetizing everything. You get to days like this where you see just how different they are. From one classic country song to a...

100 favorite rock songs

You just can’t plan something like this. Yesterday’s song, as well as today’s, seem to fit the wildfire smoke in some way. As for today’s, the last “big hit” on the countdown (duh, there’s only two songs left! ),...

1972 Songs: Changes

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 4 Jul 22

Unlike the 1982 song today I had no problem finding this great 1972 song to post for you. Yes, you’ll probably hear this song on the “classic rock” satellite station today. And it’s fifty years old this year. How about...

Songs You May Not Know Were Covers Vol. 9: China Girl (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 20 Sep 21

Every now and then I run across one of these: cover songs that you might not know were cover songs that were written by the person doing the covering! Confused? Me too! Let’s take a look at what’s under the cover...

40-Year-Old Songs: Ashes to Ashes

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 3 Aug 20

Monday’s here! But the weather is terrific, so it’s not all bad. (And, before you ask, yes, even people who don’t work have “Monday syndrome.”) To start off the day it’s time for another song you may hear on the radio...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 13 Jul 20

Hopefully everyone knew this song would show up sooner or later in this list of my favorites that have “America” in the title, a countdown paying tribute to Independence Day earlier this month. I know there’s no way to leave this...

Rock Titles Not in the Songs: Space Oddity (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 20 Jun 20

One good thing about doing this three-pronged countdown of songs that don’t have the title mentioned in the lyrics the way that I am doing it: you don’t have to endure just country music on any one day. (Better yet,...

titles not in the songs

When I started these two countdowns of songs with “love” in the title, a “treat” (ha ha) for Valentines Day, I said they were the most difficult countdowns I’d ever done. You think of the millions of songs that have “love” in the...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 2 Mar 19

It’s time for another countdown. I looked at the list of things I’ve bored you with, ahem, things I’ve done as countdowns, and I’ve never danced through one. Wow. So, it’s time to dance! My ten favorite songs with “dance” or...

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43602) • Denver, Colorado 8 Nov 18

Glad I Saw 'Em. It's a musical series about musicians that I was lucky enough to see in concert, because they are now deceased. Thankfully, we are at the finish (I say "thankfully" because that means that a lot of musicians are...

Play it Again, Sam #26a - "Ziggy Stardust"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43602) • Denver, Colorado 19 May 18

It's a very late start for Play it Again, Sam today, because frankly, I've been really, really busy sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing. For the uninitiated, Play it Again, Sam is a two part discussion consisting of an...

The Way We Were

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98004) • Daytona Beach, Florida 11 Mar 18

In 1974 the biggest song of the year was “The Way We Were” sung by Barbara Streisand. It hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed there for three weeks. It was a song that could make people sentimental. It was on her fifteenth...
