TODAY'S ADDITION TO THE LIST:

#43 -- "Like A Rock" by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band ... Click Here (Rumble version)

[Alberta's Child]

Pinging to those from the previous threads. Business travel for the summer has been completed. This song was made famous by the Chevrolet truck commercials since the 1980s, but it's an awesome tune on its own merit. Epic slide guitar starting around the 2:11 mark, and an iconic video anthem to all that was once great about America.

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.

You can NEVER go wrong with Seger.

Thanks for keeping this thread going and I totally understand about work schedules interfering, I can't wait until I can retire and devote all of my time to my hobbies, which includes music.

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".

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.
