Pinging to those from the previous threads. An iconic music figure from the 80s had this one great hit in the 90s. You may recognize a young Matthew McConaughey in the music video.

"This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon."

Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed from the ping list!

I will give a listen, but disregarding any politics, he was always a c list version of Springsteen.

I just watched the video & it was good. Loved seeing Mathew McC!

You are building a library of great songs there. John Mellencamp has quite a discography outside of the radio hits he is better known for. Everytime I drive through Indiana and start seeing cornfields, I get in the mood for his music! Haven't seen any Tastee-Freezes for a while.

My #29 song is by Al Stewart, his first big hit song from 1977 (released in 1976), "Year Of The Cat". It became popular as I was having my first crush on a girl from my biology class in high school. An unrequited crush at that but the first crush is always special nonetheless. So this song will alway remind me of...Teresa. I looked her up on the Internet a few years back and she is divorced. She should have gone with me but too late now, I'm already married and coming up on 40 years!

The saxophone break in this song is pretty incredible.
