Hey you music-lovers!

[Craig Arko]

A guilty pleasure. For nearly 40 years now. My first copy was on 8-track tape.

....I confess, guilty as charged, hehe.

I can switch to Fire and Rain - JT if you want to change guilt-free.

I didn't know there was any guilt involved ...

[twinsnorth49]

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 - ABBA

2. Waterloo - ABBA

3. SOS - ABBA

4. Fernando - ABBA

5. Mamma Mia - ABBA

6. Knowing me Knowing you-ABBA

7. I Have a Dream - ABBA

8. Take a Chance on Me - ABBA

9. One of Us - ABBA

10. Winner Take All - ABBA

[Willihammer]

Yeah I can't top ABBA, it is pretty great though.

My guiltiest top 5, after ABBA:

 

5. Eagle-Eye Cherry- Save Tonight

4. Alanis Morissette- Thank You

3. TLC- No Scrubs

2. The Cranberries- Linger

1. Journey- Don't Stop Believin

[Vanimal46]

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.. 

[Vanimal46]

Anybody going to the Metallica concert at US Bank Stadium? That's a bucket list concert I'd love to attend... 

[Mike Sixel]

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.

[Mike Sixel]

BTW, I would say it is an exaggeration to say I learned the whole song, or that I even played it well......

[Vanimal46]

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...

It's the thought that counts.

[Mike Sixel]

 

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.

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.

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.

[Vanimal46]

The working life of Vanimal, through songs...

New Quarter, new lofty sales goals! Bill Withers - Lovely Day plays in the background as I get a cup of coffee...

Start making business development and sales calls... Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In) 

Start getting objections from clients.... Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Sometimes clients get mad.... Sugarloaf - Don't Call Us, We'll Call You

Afternoon grind with more meetings and calls.... REO Speedwagon - Keep Pushin' On

Call with a long-time client.... Shania Twain - You're Still the One

Closing down a big account and getting the commission check!! Madonna - Material Girl, followed up by Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now!

End of the work day.... Cherub - Doses & Mimosas
 

[Craig Arko]

Well, that's better than Sunrise, Sunset all day long.

[Squirrel]

Okay ... thanks for putting that one into my head ...

[Craig Arko]

Some straight lines simply cannot be ignored.

 

Best answer to this one gets a Kirby Puckett card from my collection, gratis.

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

[Willihammer]

I think Stephen King listed Chitown as inspiration for Annie Wilkes in the forward to Misery.

[Willihammer]

Currently listening to my favorite album of 2012

Lol, ok maybe not everything 50's. Definitely 50's Blues culture though, music and style.

[Craig Arko]

What I suspect will be going on in Minneapolis for the foreseeable future.
