Any song that got me laid was a good song, as far as I’m concerned.

Come to think of it, though, none of those songs got me laid. Never mind.

Don’t think I can swing the $4.99 this month, but thanks for the info. ;o)

My wife has that song. It’s okay I guess.

Personally, I like music with flatted fifths much harder and faster!

But maybe I should listen carefully to it- I’ve been trying to figure out a way to sneak that note into the worship music at church.

I kinda like: Brandy you’re a fine girl, what a good wife you would be....

Odd you should mention that song.

You know, I have this theory that "Captain of her Heart" is about Brandy ten years on, after waiting in vain for her sailor to return.

"What a good wife you would be, but my life, my love and my lady is the sea"

"This night the dream was ending, she tried so hard to keep. And with a new day's dawning, she felt it slip away. Not only for a cruise, not only for a day."

No Crazy Love?

At least there's no "straight razor across the throat" songs from Carole King.

But you can spend countless hours pouring through record shops and searching on line for these timeless treasures....

What? No Buddy Holly or Roy Orbison?

THOSE guys knew how to write/play soft ROCK.

Van Morrison should have all 40 spots, as far as I’m concerned.

There was also one called Shannon about some sap’s dog, I think.

Ugh. I remember that "song." IIRC, Shannon drifted out to sea, or something....

Probably “Daybreak” by Barry Manilow. Or “I write the songs.” (Yes, that was a while ago).

When we were dating in 1985, my wife was big on “Wham” so of course I pretended to like them.

I think thye purposely started with the 1970s. No Beach Boys or Beatles.

Of course they left off Mexican Blackbird by ZZ Top yet again. The consumate love song.

And the singer had an irritating falsetto.
