Standard Music Monday Intro:
Let's say I have a CD player in my truck. And just for the sake of a blogable subject let's suppose that the CD player broke one day in such a way that the compilation CD currently in the player could not be ejected, the volume could not be changed from its position at medium loud and I cannot change over to the radio. If I'm in the truck and the key is in the ignition, then the CD is playing at medium high volume and it will continue to play until I exit the truck. It's music will span a trip to the corner convenience store for some Jumbo Juicy Love or across the entire nation. So I am stuck listening to this CD for all eternity. What 15 songs would I want the CD to contain and why?

My top 15 Songs in no particular order.


Previous Mondays:

#1 La Grange by ZZ Top from the album Tres Hombres.


Today's offering:

#2 Magic Man by Heart from the album Dreamboat Annie. The greatest concert I ever attended was Texas Jam 1979 which featured Boston, Heart, Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Nazareth, Blue Öyster Cult and TKO. (And as a side note: You youngsters out there may not believe it but the tickets were $15.00 for a day of concerts that started at 9:00am Saturday and ended about 1:00am on Sunday.)

The entire concert was tremendous but Heart stormed the stage, literally. They began their set and it started to rain lightly and the wind was cool and brisk. This storm helped cool down the crowd, who had been subjected to temperatures of over 120° on the floor of the bowl for the previous 6 hours. It also provided the perfect backdrop for the two hottest girls in rock to wow the crowd. Dresses and long hair pushed back by the winds singing their "hearts" out Ann and Nancy Wilson made it the most memorable concert ever.... at least for me. An example from today would be kinda like going to a concert and watching as Taylor Swift (or as my wife calls her "your crush") played to a sold out crowd as her "bear taming" locks and, peasant topped ankle length dress are blown back by a cool breeze, hugging her figure tightly.....  but I digress into the whole crush thing again.....

Lift those lighters high for Heart...
