Wow! I graduated High School way back in 1984. That was twenty-five years ago. That sounds like a long time, but it seems like yesterday. Maybe that's why I chose Foreigner's "That Was Yesterday" over "I Want To Know What Love Is", which was a much bigger hit. There are two songs on this playlist that I can't hear today without immediately thinking of 1984. First and foremost would be Van Halen's "Jump". Of course, it was from the album "1984". I also cheated a little on this one and included th… Continue

I was sitting around the other day, thinking about making a good playlist. Several things came to mind but I decided to do a playlist consisting of songs that mention a color in the title. Out of 14,000 songs in my iTunes library, I could only come up with about 25 or so rock songs that fit this playlist. That was surprising to me. I would have thought there would be more. I may have missed some based on other colors that are less known. I culled my playlist to 23 very worthy songs. The color bl… Continue

A quick word about the 1981 playlist. This is an edited blog entry. I originally did a 1981 playlist before I decided to do playlists for all of the 70’s and 80’s, so here I have just changed a few songs and created this new playlist. I have 2 debuts on the list. The first is Stevie Nicks solo debut, “Bella Donna”. The second is Motley Crue’s “Too Fast For Love”. One of the songs I added was “Live Wire”, which is taken from that album. That’s a good song. I also added “On The Loose” by Saga. Kis… Continue

My playlist for 1980 only features one true debut, and that is by Loverboy. There was a debut of a new singer for an established band. That would be Black Sabbath, who released their first album with Ronnie James Dio. I didn’t know this way back in 1980. I have just recently developed an interest in this era of Sabbath. Of course, my favorite band Kiss released yet another classic called Unmasked (just kidding about the classic part). I remember listening to REO’s “Hi Infidelity” about a million… Continue

Tragedy struck in 1977. We lost several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in a plane crash only 3 days after the release of Street Survivors. I can only imagine how much more great music we would have gotten out of this great, classic line-up. On a happier note, my favorite band Kiss gave me two more albums (Love Gun and Alive II). Alive II had a 5 studio songs, and I included one of those (Rocket Ride) on this playlist. Meatloaf released Bat Out Of Hell, which is one of my all-time favorite albums. Fle… Continue

No, not the cheesy love songs you might hear on the Delilah show. These are all very good songs that just happen to have the word love (or one of it's derivatives) in it's title. They are all classic rock songs except maybe the Neil Diamond song (you might actually hear that one on Delilah). The playlist starts out with a great rocker from AC/DC and closes out with another great rocker from Night Ranger. I'm not a huge fan of Motley Crue, but I included what I think is their best song on this pl… Continue
