van morrison - caravan (studio-1970) side 1 of moondance is one of the greatest sides EVER, period

Might be the greatest ending 2 minutes to a song that's ever been done (starting at 3:00) ... but every second of this song is f***ing brilliant.

'and the barefoot gypsy boy round the campfire sing and play ... and the woman tells us of her ways'

Of course, I have to recommend you TURN IT UP, TURN IT UP ... so ya know ... it's got soul!

kacey musgraves - burn one with john prine (live-2016) maybe this one'll show ya why i love kacey

dan fogelberg - the leader of the band (studio-1981) in case ya happen to be missing your pops ...

kacey musgraves - follow your arrow (2013) if you don't love kacey it's just cause you don't know

the call - i still believe (studio-1985) tell me this one don't take ya back :)

Pride of Santa Cruz, CA right here ... well, along with Camper Van Beethoven, of course

The album Reconciled featured Peter Gabriel, Jim Kerr, Garth Hudson and Robbie Robertson ... still a solid record to this day ... and this is still a powerful song ...

jellyfish - new mistake (studio-1993) baptized the baby in whiskey and licorice ...

no way I'm letting the jellyfish vibe go without a contribution ...

I saw 'em this tour at the Warfield, SF ... this fledgling act who didn't even have an album out yet were the openers ... some dudes ... I think they were called like 'Counting Crows' or something like that ... they were pretty friggin' killer too

The outro harmonies of this song were one of my all-time favorite concert moments ever ...

love and rockets - haunted when the minutes drag (studio-1985) now we're in a proper groove :)

and this for when you feeeeeeeel ... something ... when the minutes drag

perpetual groove-three weeks (studio-03) not a 'jam band' guy, but this song is friggin righteous

It's got such infectious guitar riffs it's ridiculous ... enjoy loudly

Anon-C ... are you trying to annoy me with circa 1983 crap music? LOL ;)

How about something that's actually good from right around then?

Ya know, what us kool kids were listening to

train - save me san francisco (studio-2011) yeah, it's a little cheesy, but when you're homesick ...

this one will always bring ya back, at least for a few minutes ... esp. when you know where every camera shot was taken from, including the theater where the show is ...

Besides all the great City shots, I'll always love this video's denouement ...

Also, my mom's name (who's back in The Bay) ... is Elaine

Best enjoyed LOUD
