Doc, I offer this from Rush as a Tune of the Day. Not the group's most iconic song but I think it goes along perfectly with your thoughts on MLB's newest committee... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnC88xBPkkc
Very cool music tangent yesterday, Doc. I had to give the dog a bath this morning so I had Siri play Little River Band’s greatest hits. Yeah…if you want mellow…it’s pretty good.
I agree with your song picks. Very entertaining. I would posit that the Beatles and Beach Boys don’t have just one song. I mean, how you disqualify Hey Jude, Something, etc., etc. ad finitum. Same for Beach Boys...I Get Around, Abigail Beecher, or Surfin Safari. What Fun!
True story July 5th, 1984. I woke groggy from holiday festivities, made some coffee, grabbed the sports page (yes, the paper) and stepped into the bathroom for my morning routine. On cue, the phone rang and I figured it was my girlfriend so I waddled out to the hall, grabbed the phone (yes, a corded dial phone), carried it back into the bathroom and resumed my position. It was Jan, she was calling from work, a downtown hotel where she helped run workouts in the fitness facility. "You'll never guess who I'm leading through workouts ..." "No, you're right, I probably won't ..." "Hold on a sec ..." The next thing I hear is a man's vaguely familiar croaky voice, "Hey man, how you doin?" "Uh, good, how 'bout you?" "I'm great! Jan is killin' me, but it's good! So what are you up to?" It clicks, she just put The Boss on the phone and, well, that's pretty insane. I decide to be honest, "Uh, well I'm sitting on the shitter, smoking a cigarette and reading the sports page." Maniacal laughter erupts through the phone, I don't think he was expecting that. "Ahhhhhh, man, that's great, so who won the Yankees game?" So I look and tell him the Yankees lost, again, and we talk sports for a bit before he says, "So you two wanna come to the show tonite?" Well hell yeah, it's the first tour I hadn't bought tix for, not being as hot on the Born In The USA stuff as I'd been on everything earlier, had seen them three times before this .... "You serious? I mean hell yeah, that'd be great." "Alright, man, I got ya - and I'll see you there!" Jan's back on the phone now, excitedly says "I gotta go, call ya in awhile." And that's how I ended up in the 2nd row courtesy of Springsteen himself on the very cusp of his world domination / coronation.

Van rules. Check out his latest. He calls it as he sees it. Met the Big O a few times. He seems to be the same on and off camera.
Al Sleet - Mexican High

Beethoven - Symphony #5
And the 1976 disco re-issue. Put on your best threads and LET’S GET DOWN…or as low as most of us OG’s can go.

Agree on Bruce.
Smithereens?
The Who- Won’t Get Fooled Again.
Kinda follows the sports idol admiration gig. Dee N.
Agree with youn on Jungleland. A very under rated tune on a great album.

Agree with all your band songs EXCEPT
Beatles--tie between Let It Be and Yesterday
Bruce Springsteen--Born to Run
Lost if Love would be my number one. It's haunting. They are all good.
“Search the parks in all your cities
You'll find no statues of committees.”
Coin flip on Jungleland or Thunder Road for me.
