97 .1 FM The Drive

0:02

presents the Behind The Song

0:04

podcast, taking you deeper

0:06

into Classic Rock's most timeless

0:08

tunes. Here's your host,

0:10

Janda. I'm Janda and it

0:12

is the season for love

0:14

songs. So I got together with

0:16

my husband Christian Lane to

0:18

talk about our top five classic

0:21

rock love songs. Hi, Christian. Hey,

0:23

Janda. So right off

0:25

the bat, I just have to mention

0:27

I gave myself a bit of a handicap

0:30

in thinking about classic rock love

0:32

songs because aren't like half

0:34

of classic rock songs about

0:36

love anyway. So sure, in

0:38

some way. Yeah. So I went with

0:40

classic rock love songs

0:42

about real people. OK, I

0:44

like that. Yeah. I mean, I'm

0:46

sure I could have picked many other

0:48

classic rock love songs, but this is the

0:51

parameters I gave myself. OK, I

0:53

did not necessarily go that

0:55

route. I picked songs based entirely

0:57

on how I felt about

0:59

them. OK, I mean, that's good.

1:01

That's I mean, that's really what music

1:03

is all about is your reaction and

1:05

relationship to it. So yeah, good, good. Well,

1:08

would you like to start with number

1:10

five on your list as a small

1:12

business owner? My favorite thing about posting

1:14

a job on LinkedIn is that when

1:16

I hit post, I clock out and

1:18

LinkedIn clocks in LinkedIn makes it easy

1:20

1:22

1:24

in one place. Plus, LinkedIn extends

1:26

the reach of your job post by

1:31

your network and hiring managers that add

1:33

a hiring frame to their LinkedIn

1:35

1:37

Go to LinkedIn.com/achieve to post your

1:39

job for free terms and conditions apply.

1:42

I'm going to go with the very

1:44

obvious. Maybe I'm amazed

1:46

by Mr. Paul McCartney, the

1:48

topic of our most recent

1:50

behind the song podcast. All

1:56

the time

1:58

is the passion. I mean, it's

2:00

first of all, I should mention

2:02

it's about his wife Linda. So

2:05

there's the real person. Yeah, you

2:07

can refer to the podcast for

2:09

the whole story, but you know,

2:11

he was down and out and

2:13

Linda propped him up and he

2:15

was saying basically I'm amazed. I

2:17

can't believe I found this person.

2:20

You mentioned the way it makes

2:22

you feel. I mean, it gives

2:24

me goosebumps when he's basically screaming

2:26

his love at the top of

2:28

his lungs for Linda. I just,

2:30

I can't get enough of the

2:32

performance. Either one, the one on

2:35

McCartney or the live one. Wings

2:37

over America, uh-huh. Wings over America?

2:39

Yeah, I just think it's one

2:41

of the best. So I'm sorry

2:43

that it's five, but I had

2:45

to put it somewhere. So five

2:47

it is. You know, I'm really

2:49

glad that you mentioned that one

2:52

because I think we would be

2:54

remiss if we didn't include, maybe

2:56

I'm amazed in this list of

2:58

top classic rock love songs. And

3:00

no doubt we will miss some

3:02

because we're talking about five each.

3:04

But I'm really glad that you

3:07

came through with maybe I'm amazed

3:09

for this list. I mean if

3:11

you don't mention it what are

3:13

we doing here? Okay now you

3:15

go. Okay, so in position number

3:17

five on my list of classic

3:19

rock top love songs I'm going

3:22

with David Bowie because you know

3:24

I can't have any kind of

3:26

a list without David Bowie in

3:28

it So I'm gonna work him

3:30

in here no matter what I'm

3:32

gonna go with heroes by Bowie

3:34

And of course, I love the

3:37

song because I'm a Bowie nerd,

3:39

but it's also really interesting how

3:41

this song came about. You know,

3:43

they were recording the Heroes album,

3:45

the Berlin Trilogy over in Berlin,

3:47

and he spies out the window

3:49

of the studio, which was right

3:52

by the Berlin Wall. Tony Viscani,

3:54

who you know, Christian, kissing his

3:56

girlfriend as bullets were flying over

3:58

him. whether real or imaginary, you

4:00

know, for the purposes of the

4:02

song at that time. And that's

4:04

what Bowie took from the moment,

4:06

sort of a love rising up

4:09

in the face of oppression and,

4:11

you know, with the world against

4:13

you, if you will. And I

4:15

think that that's so much about what

4:17

the beginning of a lot of

4:19

love relationships feels like anyway. And

4:22

it's perfectly encapsulated, you know, against

4:24

a backdrop of world events. And

4:26

the song... became sort of like

4:28

an arc for Bowie, a fan

4:30

favorite for sure. And I just

4:32

think it's cool to think that,

4:34

you know, you can connect with

4:36

someone on such a level that

4:38

you can be heroes and overcome

4:40

whatever's going on, you know, in

4:42

your life, you know, with this

4:44

relationship and this love that

4:47

you feel for another person. So it

4:49

made it to number five on my

4:51

list. Yeah that studio that they're recording

4:53

it was called Hansa by the wall.

4:55

I mean it was literally by the

4:58

wall and I think it's a great

5:00

point Janda that you just made about

5:02

the beginnings of love and you know

5:05

teenagers especially if you tell them you

5:07

know don't see that person oh my

5:09

goodness are they gonna dig their heels

5:12

in even more if you give if

5:14

you give young love something to rebel

5:16

against. It gives me that feeling of,

5:19

you know, like, we're going to dig

5:21

in even more and love each other

5:23

even harder. And I love it. Great

5:26

picture. Great picture. I knew you would

5:28

approve of that one. What about you?

5:30

What's number four on your

5:32

list? Number four. Let's go with

5:34

something by George Harrison. Well, the

5:37

Beatles, but George Harrison wrote it

5:39

for Patty. for Patty Boyd, his

5:41

wife, soon-to-be not wife. Janda, you've

5:44

covered that with Layla, and you

5:46

know, there was, I don't know

5:48

if you call it a love

5:51

triangle going on with Eric Clapton,

5:53

but it got a little sticky

5:55

and messy, but this song, to

5:58

me, I love it because he's...

6:00

mystified. George seems very mystified by

6:02

this person and by this love

6:05

that he has for her. Something

6:07

in the way she moves. Something

6:09

in the way she moves. I

6:12

mean, it's just one of the

6:14

most beautiful. It's just so simple

6:16

and so beautiful. And about this

6:19

song, written by George Harrison, Frank

6:21

Sinatra said, something is the greatest

6:23

love song written by Lennon and

6:26

McCartney. He got that part wrong,

6:28

but he got the rest of

6:30

it right. Wow. So that's my

6:33

number four. I'm sure so much

6:35

has been said about it before,

6:37

but I like I said, I

6:40

like the sort of mystic quality

6:42

of it, you know, love as

6:44

a spirit, love is something that

6:46

in... you know, imbues your spirit

6:49

and raises you up above the

6:51

messy world. So something by George

6:53

Harrison. I think the reason that

6:56

something would land on a lot

6:58

of people's lists, I would be

7:00

willing to wager when you're talking

7:03

about love songs, is because he

7:05

was able to describe that feeling,

7:07

that sort of unfathomable feeling that

7:10

you have about why it is

7:12

that you feel love towards someone.

7:14

You know, sometimes... You don't know

7:17

what it is. You have no

7:19

idea. It's just something mystical and

7:21

magical. They say that the two

7:24

things that stay with you the

7:26

longest in terms of memories are

7:28

music and smells. So he really

7:31

got to the bottom of that

7:33

unknowable feeling when you know that

7:35

you're head over heels with someone.

7:38

I would just be interested to

7:40

see what anybody else thinks of

7:42

that. Drop us a line and

7:45

let us know. So that's my

7:47

wrap on that. Janda, I'm curious

7:49

now, throwing it back to you

7:51

for number four. Number four on

7:54

my list, this should be no

7:56

surprise to you Christian or to

7:58

anybody who listens. to my radio

8:01

show, you know, I love me

8:03

some dire straits. So for number

8:05

four, I chose dire straits so

8:08

far away. I love how

8:10

that song comes at you lyrically,

8:12

because you know, I'm a huge

8:15

lyrics person. It starts out,

8:17

here I am again in

8:19

this mean old town, and

8:21

you're so far away from me.

8:23

And where are you when the

8:25

sun goes down? You're so

8:28

far away from me. Now obviously

8:30

this is Mark Knopfler who's on

8:32

the road touring and is away

8:35

from his person and is writing

8:37

about that boiled down to the

8:39

raw essence. of it, if you've

8:41

ever had to spend any time

8:43

from someone that you're in a

8:45

relationship with because of work basically,

8:48

or circumstance, you know, distance and

8:50

time apart, and how you don't

8:52

want to be there. And I

8:54

just, I love how he distilled

8:56

that down. And further, I love

8:58

in this song, he brings me

9:00

back in this day and age

9:02

to those times when you would

9:05

spend hours on the phone with

9:07

someone that you were in a

9:09

relationship with. You know, it was

9:11

all about the phone calls and,

9:13

you know, not ending the calls

9:15

and, you know, you hang up. No,

9:18

you hang up. No, you hang

9:20

up. He covers that when

9:22

the lyrics go, I'm tired

9:24

of making out on the

9:26

telephone because you're so far

9:28

away from me. You know, I

9:31

mean, that's something that if you

9:33

came up during a certain time,

9:35

you spent time on the phone

9:38

with someone that you... cared about.

9:40

It reminds me of that, of

9:42

like those simpler days in

9:44

general and not for nothing. I

9:46

love his guitar work on this

9:48

song too. I just think this

9:51

is a really great, I'm separated

9:53

from somebody that I care about

9:55

a whole lot song and it made

9:57

it to number four because you

9:59

know those contend to get a

10:01

little sappy, you know, but

10:03

somehow or another, this one's

10:05

still cool. You picked a

10:08

really good one as far

10:10

as, you know, that trick

10:12

right there of distilling things

10:14

down, and you're right. It's

10:16

a slippery slope. When you

10:18

were reading those lyrics, it

10:20

reminded me of a poet

10:22

named Delmore Schwartz, who actually

10:24

was a teacher of Lou

10:27

Reed, and the thing that

10:29

Lou Reed took from him

10:31

is take away. everything that's

10:33

superfluous. Get rid of everything

10:35

that doesn't matter. Boil it

10:37

down, get it down to,

10:39

you know, distill it down

10:41

to the least amount of

10:43

words possible. And that will

10:46

be the truest connection and

10:48

that will cut through the

10:50

most. And Nofler killed it

10:52

on this one. I mean,

10:54

you're so right. I really

10:56

can picture those things with

10:58

an economy of words. I

11:00

can picture every scene that

11:03

he's... laying out for us.

11:05

It's that's a really good

11:07

one, Janda. Nice one. Thank

11:09

you. All right, back to

11:11

you, song number three on

11:13

your list. Song number three

11:15

for me, I'm going with

11:17

the Rolling Stones classic written

11:19

by Keith Richards, Angie. It's

11:22

pretty well documented. It's about

11:24

Anita Palenberg, who I suppose

11:26

was his wife. It's always

11:28

been a little unclear to

11:30

me if they actually got

11:32

married. Someone, not me, someone

11:34

said at some point that

11:36

instead of saying, Angie, Angie,

11:38

you should have been saying,

11:41

Anita, Anidia, and that makes

11:43

perfect sense to me because

11:45

to me, this is a

11:47

love song, but it's also

11:49

commiseration. It's desperate. It's sort

11:51

of painting them as vagabonds,

11:53

which I think at the

11:55

time, they kind of were,

11:57

even from the Rolling Stones.

12:00

were a little bit on

12:02

the outside at that point.

12:04

Yeah, commiseration. That's what

12:06

I hear in Angie

12:08

and you know and

12:10

Mick Jagger channeling his

12:13

friend. He really channels

12:15

that clinging and how

12:17

they're clinging to each

12:19

other and you cling

12:21

to a love when

12:24

you're desperate. So yeah,

12:26

number three Angie or

12:28

Angie or Anita as it

12:30

were. So Janda, I just

12:32

talked about Desperate Love

12:34

for my number three.

12:36

What is your number

12:39

three? My number three is

12:41

a super sweet song. Thank

12:43

goodness. I am going

12:45

with Fleetwood Max Songbird

12:48

written by Miss Christine

12:50

McVee, a song that

12:52

will absolutely make me

12:54

cry almost quicker than

12:57

any other. This is true.

12:59

I find it so

13:01

lovely that Christine McVee's

13:04

maiden name was Christine

13:06

Perfect because I think

13:08

that her voice was

13:11

perfect. I loved how

13:13

she was the glue

13:15

in a very very

13:18

chaotic Fleetwood Mac, her

13:20

piano playing is excellent

13:22

or was excellent and

13:24

when she... wrote this song,

13:27

Song Bird, I mean, you know,

13:29

and the Songbirds are singing like

13:31

they know the score. And I

13:33

love you, I love you, I

13:36

love you, like never before. I

13:38

mean, something about the Songbirds are

13:40

singing like they know the score.

13:42

I mean, you assume that the

13:45

Songbirds are singing a happy

13:47

song, but you could almost

13:49

as easily turn that on

13:51

its head in your imagination,

13:53

and... hear the songbird singing

13:55

a sad song like if

13:57

it wasn't going to work

13:59

out. I fear that they're hearing

14:01

a sad song, but I like

14:04

that you hear a potentially a

14:06

happy song because I'd rather think

14:08

in that way. It's just so

14:11

sweet and it's heartbreaking actually. Yeah,

14:13

when she when she put those

14:15

lines together she covered off on

14:18

the entire range of emotions no

14:20

matter where you could be coming

14:23

from, you know, in a relationship

14:25

and that is the pure genius

14:27

of a great, great songwriter and

14:30

Christine McVie. certainly was one so

14:32

I had to put her at

14:34

number three on my list on

14:37

an album by the way that's

14:39

you know filled with all different

14:42

kinds of love songs I mean

14:44

you want to talk about running

14:46

the gambit you know in the

14:49

old Peyton place that was Fleetwood

14:51

Mac in in 1977 when rumors

14:53

was released I mean just about

14:56

every single song on that album

14:58

is about love in some way

15:01

or another to your point at

15:03

the beginning of this episode Christian

15:05

but songbird by Christine McVee stands

15:08

out so much in a sea

15:10

of really wonderful songs. She became

15:12

the songbird. It became her theme

15:15

song. You know, to the point

15:17

where she was known as Songbird,

15:19

that is incredibly effective. Yeah. Well,

15:22

coming out of your Fleetwood Mac,

15:24

I'm gonna go right into my

15:27

Fleetwood Mac. You make Levin fun.

15:29

Off the same album. Yeah. a

15:31

completely different take on love. And

15:34

in keeping with, you know, my

15:36

song's about real people, this is

15:38

a song about lighting director Curry

15:41

Grant. Yeah, wonderfully monitored Curry Grant.

15:43

Yeah. Her name was Christine Perfect.

15:46

She married John McVee. She was

15:48

Christine McVee. They were in the

15:50

band together. As you mentioned, quite

15:53

the Peyton Place over there. She

15:55

starts having an affair with the

15:57

lighting director. to the point where

16:00

she falls and they become an

16:02

item. And this song, You Make

16:05

Love and Fun, to me it's

16:07

a wonderful love song about the

16:09

first throws of love. It even

16:12

sounds like the, you know, the

16:14

music, everything sounds like the

16:16

first throws of love. It's

16:18

really, you know, it's exciting

16:20

and it's fun and it's

16:22

sexy, but then I think

16:25

about... Her saying this to Curry

16:27

Grant, while her husband, John

16:29

McVee, is playing bass. You,

16:31

Curry Grant, make love and

16:33

fun. John McVee, thanks for

16:35

playing bass on this song.

16:37

It was a very serviceable

16:39

bass part. I mean, that

16:41

man was harsh. They were

16:43

harsh. You know, singing disses

16:45

to each other on stage.

16:47

It's incredible. But it doesn't

16:50

take away from the fact

16:52

that it's a really fun

16:54

upbeat. Poppy love song about

16:56

new love and who doesn't love new

16:58

love. Everybody does. Yeah, I mean, what

17:00

a good point. I mean, God, you

17:02

had to be so tough to be

17:05

in Fleetwood Mac back in the day.

17:07

I'm sure that many a psychiatrist's couch

17:09

has been filled by the seat of

17:11

a Fleetwood Mac member, if I may.

17:14

I wonder if they just had

17:16

shrinks on speed dial. I think

17:18

they had something on speed dial,

17:20

but I don't know if it

17:22

was a psychiatrist. But yeah, what

17:25

a great song. And again, showing

17:27

the range on... Christine McVee's songwriting

17:29

talents in a band full of

17:31

great songwriters. Of course, Stevie Nix

17:33

was amazing as a songwriter and

17:35

had plenty of great songs from

17:37

that album and from those sessions

17:39

herself. I'll point out Silver Springs,

17:41

which is a great song that

17:44

didn't make it to the album.

17:46

And Lindsay, of course, a great

17:48

songwriter. it still stands out and

17:50

it still covers off on like

17:52

that that optimistic feeling of new

17:54

love. For sure. All right, number

17:57

two on my list is about

17:59

a song. that I would

18:01

defy anyone to come up

18:03

with a better tune a

18:05

love song about forgiveness and

18:07

that is the great Leon

18:09

Russell a song for you.

18:11

He's a musical genius I

18:13

would think. Absolutely. On his

18:15

debut album that a song

18:17

for you is from who

18:20

wasn't on it, Eric Clapton

18:22

played on it, George Harrison

18:24

played on it, Ringo Starr

18:26

played on it. Everybody admired

18:28

Leon Russell because he was

18:30

so musical, I think, you

18:32

know, and other musicians would

18:34

sort of like chime with

18:36

that and like moth to

18:38

a flame, you know, around

18:40

his musical light and... just

18:42

a quirky dude and somehow

18:45

or another he could wrestle

18:47

the lyrics out of something

18:49

in a completely different way

18:51

and say something all the

18:53

while playing this beautiful piano

18:55

that was different. Maybe it's

18:57

a piano player thing. I

18:59

think Warren Zivon had those

19:01

qualities too. But the lines

19:03

that kill me on Leon

19:05

Russell's A Song for You,

19:07

when he sings... I love

19:10

you in a place where

19:12

there's no space or time.

19:14

I love you for my

19:16

life. You're a friend of

19:18

mine. And when my life

19:20

is over, remember when we

19:22

were together. We were alone

19:24

and I was singing this

19:26

song to you. Wow. I

19:28

would just say to anyone,

19:30

just keep this song handy.

19:32

When you need to feel

19:35

feelings or when you need

19:37

to touch something. You know,

19:39

that's hard to get to.

19:41

Whether you have a person

19:43

in mind or not, just

19:45

this song is such a

19:47

behemoth in terms of putting

19:49

into words something that we

19:51

mere mortals, you know, I

19:53

find trouble saying. I would

19:55

say, yeah, that's why it's

19:57

my number two. song of

20:00

all time. Leon Russell, a

20:02

song for you. Oh, that is so

20:04

strong. I almost don't have anything

20:06

to say about it. It's just

20:08

listen to it. It's just like

20:10

you said, if you need to

20:12

feel something, put it on.

20:14

And it'll do it. It'll take

20:17

you there. He's incredibly underrated. Made

20:19

everyone around him look good, which

20:21

I think is part of why

20:23

people wanted to be around him.

20:26

And yeah. What a great pick,

20:28

Janda. I hope people, I envy

20:30

people who may be going to

20:32

listen to it for the first

20:34

time. Yeah, great pick. Me too.

20:37

I have that same envy. Okay,

20:39

what about you? Song number one

20:41

from Christian. Okay, song number

20:43

one by one of my

20:45

favorite singer songwriters. It's funny

20:47

to call them that by

20:49

John Lennon. The ultimate song about

20:52

real person and name checked in

20:54

the title. Oh Yoko. by John

20:56

Lennon about Yoko Ono. You know,

20:59

when you're in the biggest band,

21:01

you know, we talked about the

21:03

Stones being the biggest band, the

21:06

Beatles had broken up at that

21:08

point. That's why. The Beatles

21:10

were the biggest band in

21:12

the world. And rather than

21:14

continue being a beetle, John

21:16

wanted some autonomy and he fell

21:19

in love with an artist named

21:21

Yoko Ono. And that was

21:23

what he was doing from

21:25

that point on. he was

21:28

loving Yoko and he expresses

21:30

it to the world so

21:32

it's in no uncertain terms

21:34

and I think that's bold

21:36

and courageous and also really

21:39

sweet. And the song sounds

21:41

like a daydream, you know?

21:43

It sounds like you're laying

21:45

in a grassy field with

21:48

a cool breeze and you're

21:50

having a daydream about the

21:52

person you love. So for

21:54

those reasons, it is my

21:57

number one love song. People

22:00

have trashed on Yoko Ono for

22:03

a long long time, but the

22:05

fact is she was the love

22:07

and the center of his life.

22:09

I think that he understood her

22:11

and that's all that matters. And

22:13

so the rest of us, it

22:16

doesn't really matter, you know, if

22:18

we could understand why John Lennon

22:20

loves Yoko Ono or not. because

22:22

he could and and he and

22:24

he a hundred percent did. It

22:27

must have felt like a daydream

22:29

to him to meet her and

22:31

to have felt that you know

22:33

artistic freedom from her when he'd

22:35

been in the the constraints of

22:37

the Beatles and and so on

22:40

and so forth you know when

22:42

they first got together anyway so

22:44

I like it I like it

22:46

so we gotta get to your

22:48

number one pick Janda. All right

22:51

my top number one love song

22:53

of all time is by the

22:55

Beach Boys by the Beach Boys.

22:57

God only knows. Incredible. That's a

22:59

number one. This song almost doesn't

23:01

even seem like it's from the

23:04

earth. You know, I mean, here

23:06

you have Brian Wilson and Tony

23:08

Asher, which Tony Asher was basically

23:10

like a copywriter and a jingle

23:12

writer, who got together with Brian

23:15

Wilson and ended up collaborating on

23:17

this song and many other Beach

23:19

Boy songs. you know, Carl Wilson

23:21

sang it, but it's the music

23:23

of Brian Wilson, you know, those

23:25

those intricate, you know, patterns that

23:28

he put together out of his

23:30

very musical mind, along with these

23:32

lyrics. I mean, who in the

23:34

world comes up with lyrics like

23:36

this, especially back in 1966, when

23:38

at the time it was taboo

23:41

to even have the word God

23:43

in a song. Like you just

23:45

didn't do that, you know, unless

23:47

it was a religious song or

23:49

something like that. But here's the

23:52

beach boys, you know, coming out

23:54

with this song God only knows

23:56

on pet sounds. When the lyrics

23:58

go, I may not all... love

24:00

you but long as there

24:03

are stars above you

24:05

you never need to

24:07

doubt it I'll make you

24:09

so sure about it God

24:12

only knows what I'd

24:14

be without you I

24:16

mean get chills just

24:18

from that I got

24:21

chills yeah it's incredible

24:23

you know, cavemen would sit around

24:25

and think about, you know, abstract

24:28

concepts and stuff before we had

24:30

names for things. They only had

24:32

their feelings and what they were

24:34

seeing in the world around them,

24:37

the environment, the sun, the moon,

24:39

the stars, and so on. And

24:41

it was very simple and it

24:44

all... equaled into the same channel

24:46

of a higher plane somehow when

24:48

you were elevated by a spirit

24:51

or elevated by a feeling of

24:53

something. And in this somehow

24:55

there's also like comfort, you

24:57

know, in these lines, in

24:59

this song, there's like the

25:01

comfort of knowing that you

25:03

can rest assured that this

25:06

person's going to be there

25:08

for you. even though they

25:10

may not always love you,

25:12

there's so much going on

25:14

lyrically in the song. Incredible

25:17

dedication that they would always be

25:19

there for you, even if they

25:21

might not always love you. Like

25:23

that sort of, it's like a pact.

25:26

I think it's interesting

25:28

to note that when Brian

25:30

Wilson was writing pet sounds,

25:32

he said that every day

25:34

before writing, he sat down

25:36

and he sat down and

25:38

prayed. And he said he prayed

25:41

to God to let him

25:43

make a spiritual album for

25:45

people. And God only knows,

25:47

is surely evidence of it,

25:49

that those prayers were answered,

25:52

I think. The comparison you

25:54

made to the cavemen, it's

25:56

so apt and such a

25:59

lovely comparison. And so thank

26:01

you for that one, Janet. That

26:03

was really good. No, it's really

26:05

making me think about that in

26:08

those terms of if you didn't

26:10

have even words to use to

26:12

explain it. Yeah, you really touched

26:15

something there. I love that. Well,

26:17

thank you. Well, you know, this

26:19

song really touched something in me

26:22

and I bet a lot of

26:24

other people. So there you have

26:26

it. There's our top five each.

26:29

I mean, recapping from five to

26:31

one for me. It was David

26:33

Bowie Heroes, Dyer Straits, so far

26:36

away. Number three, Songbird Fleetwood Mac,

26:38

number two. Leon Russell, a song

26:40

for you and number one for

26:42

me Beach Boys God only knows.

26:45

Christian. Maybe I'm amazed by Paul

26:47

McCartney, something by the Beatles, George

26:49

Harrison, Angie, by the Rolling Stones.

26:52

You Make Love and Fun. written

26:54

by Miss Christine McVee for Fleetwood

26:56

Mac and number one Oh Yoko

26:59

by John Lennon. There you have

27:01

it. Ten classic rock love songs

27:03

that you can't go wrong with

27:06

in our humble opinion. Drop us

27:08

a note in the comments and

27:10

let us know yours. Thanks Christian.

27:13

Thanks Chanda. Happy Valentine's Day. You

27:15

too. And on the way, much

27:17

more classic rock and wrong.
