Day #9 of the Top 50 songs on my iTunes playlist -- ranked in reverse order by play frequency from #50 to #1 and presented here on a series of FR threads. I'm posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the next couple of months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so it will take at least ten weeks to do this.
And to show my gratitude to the FR management for giving us all a forum to post vanity threads like this, I'll be making a contribution for the current quarterly fundraiser. I would encourage everyone on these threads to do the same! :-)
Have fun with this, folks!
(One thing I noticed when I started is that there was a tie at the end of the list for #50, so there will actually be 51 songs on 51 threads here.)
#43 -- "Like A Rock" by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band ... Click Here (Rumble version)
Let me know if you’d like to be added or removed from the ping list!
A perfectly suitable thread for cluster B’s on the book-o-faces.
...where it belongs
Don’t mind the gloomy folks, I like the thread. Not crazy about all of the tunes…but mine is just as eclectic.
List to Date:

#50T -- "Fly Over States" by Jason Aldean

#43 -- “Like A Rock” by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
I don’t listen to my ITunes much these days. But when I did, it was to play music in my car for my then pre-teen daughters. There is way, way too much N’Sync and Backstreet Boys on my list to publish. LOL
I feel your pain. LOL.
?????
You can NEVER go wrong with Seger.
I have no idea what you just posted there. LOL.
I agree. He comes up a few times in this list!
His songs are truly stories. Regret never seeing him live.
Bob Seger is a mixed bag for me. I love his softer side such as "Shame On The Moon" which is written by Rodney Crowell - one of my alltime favorite artists. Or his "Fire Lake" from his 1980 album "The Distance." Of course, "Night Moves" put Bob Seger on the map is one of the rock classics of all time.
Most of his rockers however grate on my nerves, such as "Shakedown" and "Old Time Rock And Roll". They just seem sort of overly contrived and cliche to me. Just my opinion.
My #43 song is from that same period, an out-of-nowhere hit for Rocky Burnette from 1980 called "Tired Of Toein' The Line".
Rocky Burnette - Tired Of Toein' The Line
It was a big radio hit around the time I was graduating high school in June of that year. The song always puts me in a great mood and reminds me of that carefree summer between high school and Marine Corps boot camp.
My list so far...
