SONGS THAT HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME???..
What songs do think are timeless hits? I mean songs that are still hot decades later and will continue to influence, inspire and please generations to come.
I have a few in mind.
BEE GEES - Stayin' Alive FUNKADELIC - One Nation Under A Groove AEROSMITH - Dream On JACKSON 5 - Can You Feel It RUN DMC - It's Like That STEVIE WONDER - I Wish THE EAGLES - Hotel California I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
