Forgot about this thread, quite fun to read the songs....
How about a change of pace, some classical?
On a summer evening, as it is starting to slightly cool down after a blazing hot day, I like some grandiose opera, either at the Hollywood Bowl, or on an evening drive along the ocean:
Maria Callas “Signore, Ascolta!” Turandot
Pavarotti “Nessun Dorma“ Turandot


Not expecting too much agreement but maybe some lol

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

As a drummer I've always enjoyed that song!

Lido Shuffle - Boz Scaggs. Listen to it and you'll remember! Great driving song... the rhythm gives me the image of galloping a horse!

Thinking I may need to go through these 10 pages and consolidate all the songs into one current list...

Lately I've been using YouTube to revisit music from my early days, listening to full albums of some favorite bands, hearing songs that didn't get much airplay or have been forgotten. I'm 61, been playing drums since 13, started "seriously" listening to music in the mid '70's... man, what a great time for rock music. Frankly, they just don't make stuff like this anymore. I've messed around in studios well enough to know that ANYONE can be made to sound good. Talent? Not really needed anymore, it's more about "the show."

Think I'll see what else Boz Scaggs put out...

P.s. Cult of Personality - Living Color. Perfect for times these days...
