Now we are more toward the pop side. I did a little research and I will post a list soon that will blow peoples minds. Most of them are top 5 chart songs. So if anybody wants to make a compilation CD stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Megadon Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Totally my wheelhouse too! Off the top of my head from what I see here "The Most Beautiful Girl" Charlie Rich...makes me think of my mom! She used to play that all the time when I was little. "Run Joey Run"...love that song! oh so dramatic! "Hot Child in the City"...makes me feel just as good today as it ever did "I love you"...such a treat when I hear it on the radio oh I could go on and on, I sure am enjoying this thread!

GeddyRulz Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Love this stuff!!! (Great list from Presto123; HE pretty much covered everything, eh?) This stuff takes me right back to being a little kid, right back to a much simpler time. Listening to these songs, I can go back, I can stay awhile... The soft stuff by the Carpenters, Seals & Crofts, and Simon & Garfunkel... great! Also Three Dog Night, America, early stuff by Chicago, Jim Croce, those sappy songs by Bread, England Dan & John Ford Coley, Firefall, Ambrosia, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Pablo Cruise, Poco, Player, and 10cc... And oh yeah, these songs, too: Brand New Key - Melanie Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill One Tin Soldier - Coven Ooh Child - The Five Stairsteps Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty Right Down the Line - Gerry Rafferty Magic - Pilot Sentimental Lady - Bob Welch Hooked on a Feeling - Blue Swede Sky High - Jigsaw Play That Funky Music White Boy - Wild Cherry Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas Indian Reservation - Paul Revere and the Raiders Jack and Jill - Raydio I also like the perky optimism of late 60/early 70s stuff which is now labeled "sunshine pop." Talk about taking me back to simpler times! What about "Up Up and Away" by the Fifth Dimension, "Sing" by the Carpenters, "Windy" by the Association, "Like to Get to Know You" by Spanky and Our Gang, "Georgy Girl" by the Seekers, "Red Rubber Ball" by the Cyrkle, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" by the Hillside Singers, etc.? It's HAPPY music, it's of a SIMPLER TIME, it's almost CHILDISH and NAIVELY free of darkness and irony... and yet I'm almost haunted by this stuff!
