Day 16: A song that would come first on your party playlist

That's a tough call but imagine this being the one that everyone to the floor..it was Korea, the 90s, and a disco bar but this..

Brooks and Dunn, "Neon Moon"

Day 16: A song that would come first on your party playlist
I know I just posted Haim last week but oh well. I think this song has a good vibe for when the party is just starting and people are showing up and saying hi and grabbing a drink.

Haim - Honey & I

Day 17: A song you found way later than the band existed
I think I know what this prompt is asking? There's a couple ways it could be interpreted. But I'll go with this song from The National, a band that I wasn't aware of until @LadyLascivious1 turned me on to them a couple years ago. But they've been making music for decades. This particular song from 2010 talks about the fear of growing polarization in America. 15 years later, that fear is ever-so-much-more-so.
"Afraid of Everyone" - The National

I of course knew of the Pixies. They got a lot of local radio play in my HS years. But they weren’t a band I was really into until much later. It was Fight Club that cemented this song into my playlist.

Day 17: A song you found way later than the band existed

I consider myself a big fan of the right type of 80s music. How I just discovered this song within the last year or two is simply beyond me.

Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way

Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way

It’s so funny the random gaps I find in my memory of this type of music. I don’t have a second song pass but there’s a certain theme song from a certain high grossing movie about a prostitute and a Venture Capitalist that I had no memory of until it came up in a YouTube list a few years back

Day 17 A song you found way later than the band existed

So, this is a weird one, because ELO proper ceased to exist in 1986 or so. I didn't even know who they were until I saw the movie Kingpin on VHS (or maybe HBO or something) in 1997. And it wasn't probably until sometime after that that I became aware of some of the other non-'Showdown' tunes that were as melodic and hook-heavy as anything else the 70s produced.

And of course ELO sort of reformed a couple times, and 'Jeff Lynne's ELO' tours now, but I'm still counting it.

Edit: Picked a wrong one first. KC and the Sunshine Band still exist. Who knew?

Day 17 A song you found way later than the band existed

I have chosen to interpret the prompt this way:

Growing up, I had the Natalie Merchant/10,000 Maniacs version of this song shoved down my throat. It wasn't until many, many years later that I heard the original and realized that I actually liked the song.

Day 17: A song you found way later than the band existed

I will show my age here but "found" this in high school, late 70s. It resonated with me for so many reasons later but at the time, a girlfriend (dare I say first real love) played it and ever after I catch my breath. But I smile. Bands whole story is crazy but this....

The Zombies, "Time of the Season"

Day 17: A song you found way later than the band existed:

I was just randomly letting the Youtube play, communing with the universe and it popped up. I find most of their work to be absolutely beautiful.

“Holy shit! When did Dusty Springfield play with Hendrix?”

Well neither was true, but it’s how I discovered Les Fleur de Lys and at the same time, Sharon Tandy.

I only really found freak beat (60s garage music from England) in the late 2000s when I got out of the army. A friend that I met at work, let me borrow and rip a bunch of freaky compilations.

Shit blew me away! It

Reminds me of some of Bon Iver's work.

Day 17: A song you found way later than the band existed:

I had to laugh at myself. As I started listening, I thought that reminds me of the song at the end of Oceans 11. I looked it up to see if it was the same artist....it is the same song.

Day 17: A song you found way later than the band existed:

This band was formed in the early/mid 70s. I don't think I discovered them until the 90s. The first time I heard this song, I loved it. Still do.

Skin Deep - The Stranglers

I’ve actually never watched, now I will have to.

This song makes my wife cry (in a good way) every time she hears it. Her mother used to play it on the piano when she was a young girl.

It will always be a reminder of her mom.

It’s such a beautiful piece of music.
