March 29, 201610 yr Hehehehe ... guilty pleasure ... it's just really fun to sing along to racing own the interstate with the top down ... <G> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJYSu2OVCGM....I confess, guilty as charged, hehe.
March 29, 201610 yr I can switch to Fire and Rain - JT if you want to change guilt-free.I didn't know there was any guilt involved ...
March 29, 201610 yr It appears Glunn has been too busy to take part in this thread, so I've taken the liberty of compiling his list for him. 1. Dancing Queen - ABBA2. Waterloo - ABBA3. SOS - ABBA4. Fernando - ABBA5. Mamma Mia - ABBA6. Knowing me Knowing you-ABBA7. I Have a Dream - ABBA8. Take a Chance on Me - ABBA9. One of Us - ABBA10. Winner Take All - ABBA
March 29, 201610 yr Yeah I can't top ABBA, it is pretty great though.My guiltiest top 5, after ABBA: 5. Eagle-Eye Cherry- Save Tonight4. Alanis Morissette- Thank You3. TLC- No Scrubs2. The Cranberries- Linger1. Journey- Don't Stop Believin
March 29, 201610 yr TLC was great! Don't go chasing waterfalls now, Willi. Don't Stop Believin' was ruined for me long ago.... Heard it enough to last a lifetime at sporting events and final call at the bars..
March 29, 201610 yr Anybody going to the Metallica concert at US Bank Stadium? That's a bucket list concert I'd love to attend...
March 29, 201610 yr Damn vanimal is old before his time (I know I already said that, old people repeat stuff, get over it). Picking songs is hard for me, I can never remember their names. Mayor of Simpleton by XTC is my favorite love song. I learned it on guitar last year as a surprise for my wife. Other than that, I'll have to give it some thought.
March 29, 201610 yr BTW, I would say it is an exaggeration to say I learned the whole song, or that I even played it well......
March 29, 201610 yr Nothing wrong with being an old soul! I think I would have really enjoyed the 80's if I was alive in that time period...
March 29, 201610 yr Author BTW, I would say it is an exaggeration to say I learned the whole song, or that I even played it well......It's the thought that counts.
March 29, 201610 yr It's the thought that counts. I only picked up a guitar for the first time 3 years ago or so, and am teaching myself, and have zero innate musical ability........it's been a real challenge. Oh, and I am a terrible singer too. And yet my super musical wife still likes me, so that's nice.
March 29, 201610 yr I'm reading a book called The Concerto: A Listener's Guide by Michael Steinberg, and he lists ChiTown in the acknowledgments.

March 29, 201610 yr I'm reading a book called The Concerto: A Listener's Guide by Michael Steinberg, and he lists ChiTown in the acknowledgments.Yeah. Michael Steinberg passed away several years ago ... cancer. He was a brilliant man. I actually haven't read the book, but I remember when he was working on it. We would lend him scores, and other source materials, from the library.
March 29, 201610 yr Yeah. Michael Steinberg passed away several years ago ... cancer. He was a brilliant man. I actually haven't read the book, but I remember when he was working on it. We would lend him scores, and other source materials, from the library.I actually saw him at a concert just a few months before he passed away.
March 29, 201610 yr I actually saw him at a concert just a few months before he passed away.I might be acknowledged in another book ... different author. I can't remember for sure.

March 31, 201610 yr I might be acknowledged in another book ... different author. I can't remember for sure.Some straight lines simply cannot be ignored. Best answer to this one gets a Kirby Puckett card from my collection, gratis.

March 31, 201610 yr Nothing wrong with being an old soul! I think I would have really enjoyed the 80's if I was alive in that time period...I'm sure I lived my first life in the 50's, way too much resonates with me from that decade but I'm only 46.
March 31, 201610 yr I'm sure I lived my first life in the 50's, way too much resonates with me from that decade but I'm only 46.Yeah, 'cuz you're such a greaser
March 31, 201610 yr I think Stephen King listed Chitown as inspiration for Annie Wilkes in the forward to Misery.
March 31, 201610 yr Currently listening to my favorite album of 2012https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr6RChJqwo0
March 31, 201610 yr Yeah, 'cuz you're such a greaserLol, ok maybe not everything 50's. Definitely 50's Blues culture though, music and style.
