My Favorite "Rock" Titled Songs- #2

Tweet

We have had some really nice warm and sunny days here in my area which has put me in a "Rock N' Roll Mood." You may not recognize this Loggins & Messina song if you're not familiar with this duo, but you may have heard "Your Mama Don't Dance." This was perhaps their most popular song among casual listeners. So, give it a listen and see if this tune doesn't make any "Daddy Rock n' Roll!" Your comments, musings, and your own favorite rock titled songs and trivia always welcome. 1. "Your Mama Don't Dance"- Loggins & Messina -Although this song was considered a throwaway by the artists, it was the Country Rock duo's highest charting tune at #4. 2. "Rocky Mountain Way"- Joe Walsh -This ode to Colorado and the Rocky Mountains was released in 1973 charting at #23. This was Joe's first solo album after quitting the James Gang at the height of their popularity. If you ever heard this tune it's like a "juiced up" steroid version of John Denver's popular "Rocky Mountain High" which was released the previous year. You Tube it, the song rocks! Let me know what you think... TRIVIA CHALLENGE ***Now for our trivia music challenge for those who like to play along. See if you can guess these selections. Words in "quote marks" provide valuable clues! Name this week's tune, artist or facts: 1. This band might have been named after "a card from a deck of cards." Not the King, but the "female equivalent." This song was written as an "audience participation number" to get the "crowd to stamp their feet and clap their hands." It was almost always followed by their other classic "We are the Champions" with both songs being their encore numbers. The tune has become a "popular stadium anthem at sports events"around the world. -Can you name this band and their rock-titled song? 2. This tune by Bob Seger was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001. Released in 1979, the song gained renewed popularity after being featured in the "1983 film Risky Business." That was the movie where "Tom Cruise danced around" to this song in his "underwear." A great song that "reminisces about the days of old" where they wrote rock songs that "soothes the soul." -Do you know the name of this rock titled Seger song? So, let's "not get caught between a rock and a hard place" when answering these trivia questions. If you're stuck and need additional hints just let me know in your response. I'll be glad to supply one. Or, as Billy Swan would say, "I Can Help." Thanks for reading and responding to my music post!!! I will return with a new edition soon. Hope you can wait till then, lol.
