Last month it was 1986 and 1976. The songwriter here was used in the 1986 countdown, and we talked about his dramatic change for the worse in songwriting. Today, in this song that’s now 60 years old, I’ll show you what I mean....

It's been a long, long time since I did one of these.
I am hoping to make a convert of some of you with this song. I'm sure you remember The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel? This is The Sound of Silence by the heavy...

Along with my 100 favorite country songs to have charted, I’m listing my 100 favorite songs that made the Billboard Hot 100 charts through the history of that chart (which began in 1955…which is why there are songs from the...

You cannot plan something like this. With today being the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, this is one of the perfect songs for solace and comfort…so much so that, if you remember my “Clear Channel Memo” countdown from last August...

The first two months have been sort of downers in the countdowns. @RasmaSandra recommended the notion to get to “living” songs, and that’s what March will bring.
Whether it comes in like a lion or a lamb, it’ll be songs that...

Oh, boy. As I’ve said all month long, there are songs that ended up on the Clear Channel Memorandum list that are understandable, and some that probably made it to the list because of the title or a line in the song. And then...

Monday Morning to everyone. There are terrible days at work. Most of them are the Monday after the four-day Thanksgiving break, a Tuesday after a three-day weekend, and the Monday after Daylight Saving Time starts....

And now, the end of the bridge. I started this countdown of songs with “bridge” in the title to celebrate my dental bridge. And here we are, at the conclusion. To absolutely no one on earth’s surprise, here’s the song that tops...

Oh, baby, is fall here! Nice and cool this morning! Perfect weather for a drive to look at the progress of the foliage. It’s also the perfect time for another song with “baby” in the title. Another one without much suspense as...

Time for a massage! But first, time for another song that is half a century old. We older folks joke about how our music was better. Today’s song pretty much will prove it. Here’s a song from 1970 that you dang well...

Continuing with my autumn songs I come to “Leaves That Are Green” by Simon and Garfunkel. The song was recorded in 1965 and is on the album Sounds of Silence which came out in 1966. I don’t know about the rest of you but my leaves...

It's time for another one of those widely-heralded classic movies that I saw and really didn't care for. I've been genuinely surprised over the past couple of days, mentioning movies that I didn't care for that I thought would...

Today's forecast here in Colorado Springs calls for 45° with rain and snow, so today's Play it Again, Sam seems appropriate. We are at #41a, the "original" song: "A Hazy Shade of Winter" by Simon and Garfunkel.
In 1966, Paul...

Back from a quick, fun, and most necessary trip to Nashville for a concert, and it's time to present another very well-known song as I look at #1 songs through the years. Today's selections -- both country and pop -- are,...

It was a nice day here, a little on the cool side but sunny. I walked two miles outside, which felt terrific. Before I head into the living room to continue spring cleaning I'll give you another song that has the word "town" in...

After picking up and running with @teamfreak16 's idea of songs that mention real people in the title, I also came up with a series of songs that have fictional people's names in the title. I'm closing with my favorite song,...

Even though it didn't fit, a late night listen to "Solitude" by Denver goth band Caustic Soul inspired this latest theme, my Favorite "Silent" Songs series, featuring songs with "silent," or "silence" in the title. We are at #9,...

It's time to mop up this water, or at least this series of discussions looking at my favorite songs that have the word "water" in the title. Here's the song at the top of the list, and it's probably no surprise.
