The Old Man Down The Road
John Fogerty

Remember the thrill of having swamp music back? He sounded just like he did with CCR. So much so that he was sued for ripping off their old song - Run Through The Jungle. He won!

Jazz OTD: Cannonball Adderley and his band recorded this album "live" at Capitol's Hollywood studio in front of an audience with an open bar on October 20, 1966, leading to the title track's becoming one of the most popular singles ever recorded by a jazz star. #jazzsky

Abe Simpson saying to a young Homer & Moe, "I used to be "with it". But then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it" and what's"it" seems weird and scary to me.

Rockin’ in the Free World
Neil Young

The 80s were a lost decade for Neil. He got sued by Geffen Records for not making his normal music.

1989 he was back with Reprise & made Freedom - outstanding

My ranking is random but when I see this live it’s probably #1
