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

Been watching an interesting documentary on Country Music called "Country Music". Watched the piece between 1968 - 1972. I did not know Kris Kristopherson wrote Me & Bobby McGee. My dad really likes Kris. I think he is a great songwriter but not a good singer.
 
Watched the next segment tonight. Turns out it is a Ken Burns documentary. I should have recognized his style.
 
Some things to come out of the Country Music documentary. I like some Hank Williams songs. Particularly this one:



I also liked his son's music. This one in particular. I always thought it was specially created for MNF.



Both have been added to my library and both will be ***** and somewhere in my top 4XX list.
 
Back to the **** list.

Be Good Johny - Men at Work
Another song my son hates because it uses his name.



Beast of Burden - The Rolling Stones



Beat It - Michael Jackson



Beautiful Loser - Bob Seger
Before the Silver Bullet Band



Bed of Roses - Bon Jovi
 
I like the first three ("Beat It" is just outside my 333, if I'd made it my 400 it woulda made it). First time hearing this Seger tune. Never got into the Jovi ballad (most of their ballads, actually).

I have to ask how you wound up with 333?
 
Before I started posting I had almost 300. I ran through them one more time thinking I've got to get to 300. I ended up continuing to 333 and thought "that's a catchy number, I'll leave it there".

IRBS you might have mentioned this, how did you have all the cassettes cataloged?
Did you write the song and artist in those little cards inserts that came with the cassette?

For the early ones, yes. Once I got a computer, I have little .txt files with the listings and recording dates. I have converted them all from either source to iTunes playlists.
 
I should add my [step] daughters hate that cassette (AZ). It was the most played when they were in the car with me. It became very familiar.

The first Stones song I can remember was the Start Me Up video. I remember thinking who is that creepy looking singer, and why do they allow him on TV.

When I first read this, I thought "how can this be?", because I remember Brown Sugar and Jumping Jack Flash. But then I recalled your no-music-before-17 story.
