Soulful Stevie at his best:

 

[Woof 101]

A theme song in my younger days....

 

[uconnell]

I’d Like to Give The World A Coke And Keep It Company. This has been playing in my head all morning. I know it’s a commercial but I think it fits the bill.
Imagine by Lennon.

For some reason that made me think of this. Pretty much everybody from the 80s was involved.

Mr. Jeffrey, the voice.

Mr. Michael. Another voice.

 

[JordyG]

One of my favorite break up songs. There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys.

 

[JordyG]

If anyone has, as I have,. been in this position then you'll understand.

 

[JordyG]

How a song can be a warning, and an uplifting spiritual at the same time.

This is a great category. I bet we can come up with thousands of songs if we think it through.

RIP Walter Becker



If you're into Steely Dan go to Youtube and check out their Letterman appearance from the '90s. I loved it because it features Walter Becker predominantly on guitar. In concert (and I've seen them 8-9 times) he rarely played lead. In reality, he is not a great guitarist. I'm not saying he's bad, he's just not great. They usually leave the solo guitar work to the hired hands. In fact, on the first few albums he played bass - not that that's easy. He didn't play guitar for Steely Dan until Pretzel Logic. Okay, back to listening.
