September 18, 200619 yr We have our rock lists, but what about those pop tunes that aren't exactly rock? Abraham, Martin, and John - Dion Yesterday - Beatles Chicago My Kind of Town - Sinatra Rainy Days and Mondays - Carpenters Peaceful Easy Feeling - Eagles What's Going On - Gaye Ooh Child - The Five Stairsteps Carefree Highway - Gordon Lightfoot Please Come to Boston - Harry Chapin Sentimental Lady - Fleetwood Mac This list is actually more difficult for me. Buffet should be there somewhere.
September 18, 200619 yr You're old. I've got at least one album from every genre I know of, aside from hard-core gangsta rap. I try to avoid listening to anything labeled as "easy listening", "adult" or "smooth jazz". Anything that might be played in an elevator doesn't belong on my stereo. You can keep your Mannheim Steamroller and your Yanni and the rest of your Muzak.
September 18, 200619 yr 10 Amazing Pop-ish songs recorded before 1980. Fox - S-s-single Bed The Beatles - I'm A Loser Rose Royce - Ooo Boy Marvin Gaye - When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You? Otis Redding - Just Give Me One More Chance Pilot - Magic Plastic Bertrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi Serge Gainsbourg - Le Poinconneur Shorty Long - Function at the Junction Incredible Bongo Band - Apache
September 18, 200619 yr To beef up my adult easy listening offerings I now know not to raid Tex's collection for fear of inducing a coma. Maybe Tex's grandma's collection might have some more zip to it. That said, I scared myself a week or so in the car when a Bee Gees song came on the radio and I didn't immediately flip the channel like I have been conditioned to do. So this is what middle-age looks like, huh Tex?

September 18, 200619 yr No idea what they qualify under. Some say pop, I tend to say hard rock or maybe even glam rock.
September 19, 200619 yr I've recently rediscovered "Best of my Love" by The Eagles. What a beautiful song.
September 19, 200619 yr I don't do much easy listening at all, so it'd take me QUITE a while to list 10 "soft" songs I like. Most of my stuff is quite DIFFICULT to listen to....
