I'm old enough to remember when marching bands did halftime at the Super Bowl.

Speaking of marching bands on football fields, "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac is very underrated.

Tusk - Fleetwood Mac (1979)

It's a very good song I'd remembered listening to as a kid, but had largely forgotten about for years, until it was used in the pilot episode of The Americans in 2013.

It really helped set the tone of the show as a late 70s/early 80s period piece, and was used to excellent effect to build the tension and the action. Now anytime I hear it, my mind associates it with that show.

Heh, I was not a big Stevie Nicks fan after the drugs started really taking their toll, but, there IS something about the way she twirls that baton...
