From 1968, still one of my favorite live performances ever. Steve Marriott before Humble Pie, accompanied by maybe the best looking gal of the era.

Another two great songs I've been hearing on the radio a lot recently. 
Don't know why I'm hearing X's and O's on the radio everyday. It looks like it's 7 years old. Maybe it just got popular now??? I'd never heard it until about a month ago myself.
They've both got AMAZING voices, IMO.

Not a favorite or anything, but I heard a song that I haven't heard since I was a kid and got some good nostalgia vibes from it.
Took me a while to find it because I had forgotten the lyrics and everything by the time I got home. Super cool that music stations keep a daily history of songs they play online these days.
I figured it was Paula Abdul, so that made the search even harder.
Feel good jam. Music was a lot happier back in those days.
Maybe if we went back to happy music people would be happier?

Speaking of happier music, I saw this great video about Don't Worry, Be Happy the other day and thought I should share it.
I could totally see how some people could absolutely hate this song because of the reasons brought up in the video, but me and my brothers freakin' loved this song when it was played every 5 minutes on the radio. It didn't matter that we were being carted around between 3 houses after the divorce and my youngest brother was still in a wheelchair after the brain hemorrhage at the time. We really loved just listening to the happier tunes on the radio back then.
Things probably would have been tougher for us if we didn't have 80's music to escape with.
What a great jam.
And it wasn't until I saw that retrospective video a week or so ago that I realized that there wasn't a single instrument, and it was all Bobby McFerrin doing the entire thing acapella. It's easy to hear that when it's pointed out to you, but I guess like the guy who made the analysis video it just never occurred to me before. It's the only acapella song in history that ever topped the Billboard charts.

I was a real little kid when Girls Just Wanna Have Fun came out. Didn't matter that I was a boy, I loved when that song was on the radio. It didn't make me want to play with Barbie dolls or put on a skirt. It was just a fun song.
My favorite Lauper song was always "Good Enough". Even though I love the movie The Goonies, I refuse to call it by the full title. I'm sure from a marketing standpoint that it was a great idea to intertwine the song so deeply with the movie and the music video in the days where MTV was new and everything was experimental, but I think in the long term that's really hurt the longevity of the song and made most people not take it very seriously going on 40 years later.

... and the fact this thread started with two Pentatonix songs.
I always felt that Pentatonix kind of got a raw deal. On one hand, if it weren't for YouTube and social media, it's a pretty good chance that nobody would have even heard of them. But on the other, I don't think they're ever going to really get the recognition they deserve.
They seem to be happy enough with how things have gone for them though. I'm fairly confident that if they are good stewards of their money that they shouldn't have any worries for the rest of their lives.
