IdRatherBeSkiing's Top 20 (Sunday, June 21st, 2020 version)

A break from my **** list today to give a top 10 list. I am jumping on the same band wagon as others have this past couple of days: The Beatles. While I don't hold them in the same reverence as others on here I have enough songs I like that are *** or better to make a top 10 list. I can't tell you which original album these came off in the most part. I think I downloaded or borrowed a greatest hits CD of some sort for most of these.

10. I Want To Hold Your Hand ***
9. We Can Work It Out ***
8. A Hard Day's Night ***
7. The Long And Winding Road ***
6. Come Together ***
5. Yesterday ***
4. Hey Jude ***
3. Here Comes the Sun ****
2. Twist and Shout ***** (#414 on my 436)
1, Let It Be ***** (#310 on my 436)
 
Listening to the radio today they played "Revolution" by the Beatles. I didn't recall it in my top 10. And it wasn't because I guess it never hit #1 so was not on my Beatles CDs which only had #1s. So put that at #6 and shuffle everything else down one.

"We're not just another Southern rock band. We've been working at escaping that categorization. There's a difference between a Southern rock band and a band from the South."

If readers are unable to make that distinction, Barnes, the band's busiest songwriter and most recognizable voice, put it another way: "You can't sing about whiskey and alligators forever.

SUMMER ROCK .38 SPECIAL IS LIKE NO OTHER ROCK BAND FROM THE SOUTH

A ragged group of long-haired guys from Jacksonville, Fla., get together with their guitars and two sets of drums in 1975. They churn out a bunch of albums and, riding the crest of the Southern-rock wave, hit it big with a 1981 LP,…

They keep showing my hands
And not my face on TV"
