Ninety Minutes of Hard Hitting Oldies
OK. OK. I finally got around to putting together a new podcast. This one is about 90 minutes long. I forgot how much fun it is to do a little announcing between the tunes. So -- who knows? -- maybe I'll do some more in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy the podcast, enjoy my 24/7 stream...

A Sample of an Automated Lex
Hey, folks. I know its been quite a while since I published a new show. I guess I got a little distracted with life -- or something. Anyway, I recently started playing around with creating a full time, streaming oldies service. I've assembled an initial collection of over 2,100 of my favorite…

Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 100 Songs -- Part 1
In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine poled a select group of 172 musicians, critics and industry figures to compile the 500 greatest songs of all time. Not all of these songs were hit singles, and a high percentage were released in the 50s, 60s and 70s. I have collected the top 100 songs from this…

Back to School Hits
Labor Day: The traditional end of summer; and the start of school. Those first few days and weeks of schools were always fun; old friends, new friends, football games; and, lots of great music. I worked my way through the 60s and came up with some great "Back to School" musical memories. Enjoy!
-
More Summertime Hits

The Summer of Rock
Did you miss me?! We cruised the Mediterranean during much of June. Great time and great weather. But, it was sure nice getting home. Roaming around out in the sun reminded me of tons of summertime hits, and I just had to compile a bunch of my favorites once I finally got back home. Here's the...

Top 50 Hits of the '50s -- Vol. 1

The British Invasion
One hundred and fifty years after the War of 1812 ended, the British again invaded the USA. This time it was an army of musicians, and they captured the country's rock and roll heart. I know America invented Rock 'n Roll, along with Soul, Doo Wop, Rock-a-billy and Beach Music. But the folks from...

Hits of 1965
Even though I still think '66 had the best music of the decade, 1965 was rockin'! I tried pulling together 20 tunes from that year, but I couldn't stop until I had assembled 31 songs; and I wouldn't have stopped there except for server limits. Enjoy this one, gang.
-
Late 60s Hits
I was in college during the late 60s and enjoyed the introduction of, what was called at the time as, "psychedelic" music into main stream rock 'n roll. But, just because a band was "heavy" didn't mean it wouldn't be a one hit wonder. Iron Butterfly's In-A-Godda-Da-Vida was the first album ever…

Mid 70s Hits
I graduated from college in '72 and finally made it to California in 1974. It sure wasn't quite the way I had imagined it: The water was cold, as were the summers -- altho I did manage to go surfing once in December. That was sweet. But the music -- Fantastic. Here's a collection of mid 70s tunes…
