237 Tonight I Celebrate My Playlist

  1.  VAN HALEN "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)"
  2. Beyoncé "BODYGUARD" Somehow Beyoncé has created a throwback 1980s rock/soul song!
  3. PEARL JAM "Corduroy" Eddie Vedder performed "Corduroy" live at the SNL 50 Concert at Radio City, I was reminded I never put it on a playlist back in the 1990s...
  4. MY MORNING JACKET "Time Waited" Never got into My Morning Jacket; this song with a great vibe popped up in my ears somehow...
  5. R.E.M. "You Are The Everything" leaning hard on R.E.M. thanks to the biography I just read.
  6. THE RUTLES "Living In Hope" somehow The Rutles tribute/parody of The Beatles got so close to the Fab Four, it's like they're looking at them from the inside. This song doesn't "sound like" a specific Ringo song- it sounds like all of them.
  7. LITTLE RICHARD "Tutti Frutti"
  8. JOE JACKSON "Another World" another song I heard during February's SNL 50th celebration, from Jackson performing live on SNL in 1982.
  9. THE CURE "Primary" I listened to Standing On A Beach last summer and it reminded me to load up on old Cure songs!
  10. GRACIE ABRAMS "Close To You"
  11. LILLY HIATT "Hidden Day" I am a big John Hiatt fan, so how is it that I only discovered his daughter's solo career now?
  12. JOSHUA DAVID THAYER "Bird Children" Josh is a former colleague and briefly, a bandmate in my old office rock band. A tremendously talented musician and steadfast, supportive bandmate.
  13. LED ZEPPELIN "Heartbreaker"
  14. THE BEATLES "Revolution" (single version) another iconic single that never made it onto one of my playlists before?
  15. DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS "Marry Me" could this song sound more like a lost-Exile On Main St Stones song?
  16. SOCCER MOMMY "Shotgun"
  17. eliora "ROSES" the other singer-songwriter on this playlist that I know personally- well, I've met her a few times. So talented!
  18. PEABO BRYSON & ROBERTA FLACK "Tonight I Celebrate My Love"
  19. AEROSMITH "Last Child"
  20. CREAM "White Room"
  21. boygenius "BLACK HOLE"
  22. U2 "Exit"
