Day 7: A song that deserves more credit
The Move were had a bit of success in England, but virtually unknown in the US.

This song is a killer.

Parts of The Move merged with parts of the Idle Race, and they became ELO.
The Move - I Can Hear The Grass Grow

Couldn’t agree more.

So many of their songs were just outstanding. (Even Schlesinger wrote for that thing that you do)

Yeah dude did that and so much more.

I'll say just about anything by The Monkees. Just because a lot of their music is loved, but maybe not respected because they're a made-for-tv band.
"Pleasant Valley Sunday" - The Monkees

 

[Wonderer67]

Yeah dude did that and so much more.

Was my wife’s and I first date. (FoW)

This song will get in your head and won’t leave…..and you don’t mind at all

Concrete Blonde overall doesn’t get the respect they deserve IMHO.

Johnette has one of the greatest rock n roll voices of all time!! She's up there with Ann Wilson and Debbie Harry

Day 7: A song that deserves more credit

Hard to say that a popular band deserves more credit. But they are seen as the softest of soft rock, talc on the harness scale, pablum for the masses. But the Carpenters were one of the most talented duo ever recorded. Richard Carpenter could play almost any instrument you put in front of him. He was a brilliant composer, and a very skilled sound engineer. Karen was a fantastic drummer with a voice angles would be envious of. (She really just wanted to drum. I love that.) Not only did she have a three-octave (!) contralto range with a very powerful low end, but her pitch control was beyond amazing. Not "perfect pitch," that is something else. There are videos you can find that isolate her vocals and run them through pitch analysis, and her control is just...beyond belief. Beyond the technical, her voice reached out and hugged you like a warm blanket on a cold day. Just remarkable. There hasn't been anyone like her since.

And they wanted to go beyond the soft rock ghetto they were locked into. But in the 70s, the label had all the power and the contracts were beyond Draconian. With everything else going on in her life, she couldn't fight it. And eventually, the "everything else" caught up to her, and she died far, far too early.

Incredibly talented, incredibly skilled, but seen as the worst of AM lite pop. They deserve far more credit.

"Rainy Days and Mondays," The Carpenters.

Part of me wanted to get some of the highlights of her drum solos. But honestly? Listen to that voice...

Day 8: A song you'd put on to clean
Since this was the first song I put on while I was cleaning the kitchen last night, I guess this is my answer.
"Work It" - Missy Elliott

Day 8: A song you’d put on to clean

I don’t really listen to music while I clean.
But this one is cleaning related. Well, more about the cleaner than the cleaning. Still, it’s an old song from an Aussie icon.

Sadie the Cleaning Lady - John Farnham

There was one that talked about bringing a bucket and a mop, but can’t recall the song. So:

This probably means "clean your house" but why not yourself?

Yesterday was an Olivia Rodrigo day

Not sure what today will be yet.

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

I know Taylor Swift is not universally loved here... But there are some songs that she's written that just hit me - and so many of her songs have such good bridges. She's a fabulous lyricist. Her songs are poetry set to a melody... She got me through my divorce years ago so I will always be a loyal fan girl.

Isn't she that lady who dates the football player?

Omg, I love that song!
