Counting Down my iTunes Play Count (VANITY) -- Day #31

AC’s iTunes Directory | 10/10/2024 | Alberta's Child

[Alberta's Child]

Day #31 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've been posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the course of several months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so this will probably be done by early November.

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 contributions for both the 3rd and 4th quarter fundraisers. I would encourage everyone on these threads to do the same! :-)

Have fun with this, folks!

Pinging to those from the previous threads. I'm pretty sure this one is so high on the list partly because I've had it in MP3 format for so long. Back in its day, it was considered too "country" for rock music stations, and too "rock" for country stations. At the end of the day, it's almost a genre unto itself!

"I'm the kind of man who likes to get away ... like to start dreaming about tomorrow, today."

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

You are more tolerant than I, there are couple/three on your list I flat refuse to listen to at all.

[Alberta's Child]

I understand. It's all in the "ears" of the beholder.

I'd be curious to know which of them are on your blacklist!

[Resolute Conservative]

Springsteen and Mellancamp for many, many years (music and politics)
Tim McGraw last few years (mainly politics)
A couple others are on the bubble.

Saw them in ‘76.................

Their greatest hits album is one of a few that I bought in all the formats: Vinyl, cassette, 8 track, CD, and now digital.

I think there were a great band, a precursor to the likes of 38 special. I love listening to them on long drives.
