Pop Music, Easy Listening, Adult

Recommended Posts

We have our rock lists, but what about those pop tunes that aren't exactly rock?

 

Abraham, Martin, and John - Dion

Yesterday - Beatles

Chicago My Kind of Town - Sinatra

Rainy Days and Mondays - Carpenters

Peaceful Easy Feeling - Eagles

What's Going On - Gaye

Ooh Child - The Five Stairsteps

Carefree Highway - Gordon Lightfoot

Please Come to Boston - Harry Chapin

Sentimental Lady - Fleetwood Mac

 

This list is actually more difficult for me. Buffet should be there somewhere.

You're old. :P

 

I've got at least one album from every genre I know of, aside from hard-core gangsta rap.

 

I try to avoid listening to anything labeled as "easy listening", "adult" or "smooth jazz". Anything that might be played in an elevator doesn't belong on my stereo. You can keep your Mannheim Steamroller and your Yanni and the rest of your Muzak.

To beef up my adult easy listening offerings I now know not to raid Tex's collection for fear of inducing a coma. Maybe Tex's grandma's collection might have some more zip to it.

 

:D

 

That said, I scared myself a week or so in the car when a Bee Gees song came on the radio and I didn't immediately flip the channel like I have been conditioned to do. :huh:

 

So this is what middle-age looks like, huh Tex? :crying :crying

I was trying to stay as far away from Rock as I could. I would have added tunes like Tangled Up In Blue, but then some would claim that as rock.
