Best “tag” Ever

July is the perfect time for this. Hockey stories are slim. News is relegated to the Darren Garcias of the world and all we can do is wait for September. But, Phil Randolph has made my day. He’s tagged me with one of those top five deals. The topic, I think, is your five favorite songs.
Oh, I’ve got songs brother. I’ve got opinions and I’ve got songs, opinions about songs, songs about my opinion of songs.
The A2Y top 5:
5. Night Moves. Bob Seger’s best and the anthem for every middle aged man who spent his formative, pathetically awkward teenage years in Michigan.
4. Blinded By The Light. Manfred Mann’s remake of the Springsteen tune. Every time I listen to it I hear something better about that song. It could very well be the greatest classic rock song of all time. OF ALL TIME (Rocky reference).
3. Tuesday’s Gone. Skynyrd’s finest and a constant reminder that Ronnie Van Zant died way too young. Speaking of which, if you ever get the chance (and you’re a Skynyrd fan), find the song “Brickyard Road” from Ronnie’s little brother, Johnny. Great tribute.
2. Little Guitars. Diver Down, in my opinion, is Van Halen’s best effort. Every song is great, but this one will always stand out for me.
1. Overplayed, a cliche of a song, and I’m embarrassed that it’s in my top fifty much less my top ten. But, “I Want You To Want Me” holds the top spot. Cheap Trick is a horrible reminder of what can go wrong when a good rock band sells out. But that didn’t happen until later. Sentimental choice. My wife would kill me if it wasn’t my publicly professed number 1.
Feel free to list your own top five below if you’d like, and here are the bloggers I’ll return the favor to:
Acid Queen
Peklund
Truth Serum
Cason

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
