If you're over the age of 40 (arbitrary #)

**j2k4** · 07-14-2011, 06:19 PM

I've been making playlists of favorite songs from my accumulated crap, and I've always culled my personal favorites from those songs that others might regard as of less-than-stellar commercial value - minor hits, album gems, personal faves - stuff that never ever (EVER) plays on top-40 type radio.

I always wonder how others find these types of songs.

Anyway, I'm off to find a link that probably doesn't exist, a link to my first submission:

Fool (not The Fool and Me), by Robin Trower - with a fantastic blues vocal by James Dewar (an all-time great, to me).

i've no idea what you're asking for kevin. almost everything in my collection has been on the top 40 at some point--although most of it has been forgotten in the annals of time.

Really.

Do you buy top 40 compilations, or what?

i like what i like. there's no rhyme or reason to it. rhythm has a LOT to do with whether or not i like something.

pick a genre & i can share some of my favorites. my tastes are far too ecclectic to "fit" in any one area.

Now there's a good choice, Thadd.

My point would be (now that you've helped me out by using the word "eclectic" to refer to your musical tastes) that no one listens to 'only' Top 40 - that would almost be impossible.

Edit:

Athena (love the song), from the same album as Eminence Front, doesn't make the cut, because it got some big radio play.

So, are you looking for suggestions from us old guys? Try this one out...

You won't find too many people that remember that one when it got it's 2 weeks of radio play back in the early 80's, but it's a great song with some really good musicians.
