Well, it's not really the meme of death, but I was threatened with death if I didn't do it! Since I don't particularly feel like dying yet, here it is...
And I would have had this posted yesterday had it not been for a certain person really ticking me off. You have no idea how much self control I exercised in yesterday's open letter!
On to the meme...
The last four decades....list 3 of your favorite songs from each:
1990's No Pain No Gain - The Scorpions Send Me An Angel - The Scorpions Freshly Squeezed - The Scorpions
1980's Passion Rules The Game - The Scorpions No One Like You - The Scorpions Walking On The Edge - The Scorpions
No surprises there, huh?
1970's Heart Of Gold - Neil Young Philadelphia Freedom - Elton John Do You Feel Like I Do - Peter Frampton
Some notes about these songs:
Heart Of Gold is always the first song I play upon picking up a guitar. Philadelphia Freedom was only released as a single. It never appeared on any of Elton's Albums. The flipside was a live duet with John Lennon, the song, I Saw Her Standing There! If you listen carefully to the album version of Frampton's song, you will get to hear him utter the words "I wanna fuck you" through the vocoder!
1960's Nights In White Satin/Late Lament - The Moody Blues Daydream Believer - The Monkees Young Girl - Gary Puckett And The Union Gap
Now, for the second part of the meme...

I've clumped these two decades together because most of my favorite bands from the 80's continued to have hits into the 90's and even to the present. They are:
