    I remember reading that the other Beach Boys urged him to change it, maybe along with the record label.

    I'm a big fan of the Etherial Wave music that came out when this hit Florida around 2000 (Mira, Lovespirals, Autumn's Grey Solace, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, so on). Can't really come up with 20, however.

    This thread made me realize that my musical taste is a mile wide and an inch deep.

    I really don't hate or even dislike any of these. I don't find them tacky, just sappy. They're a big part of what was on the radio at the time. I bring them up because IMO there isn't quite as much in the genre in subsequent decades (aside from That's What Friends are For and Heartlight and anything by James Ingram, neither of which reach the deepest levels of sap that Shannon and The Rose and Alone Again reach). I wouldn't give an exemption for Debby.

    Oh, and I'll throw in Longer by Dan Fogelberg at #21.

    Sorry seems to me Elton's least thought-out tune, and it's a borrowed progression, too. Can't recall the classical guy who did it first.

    Actually, I think that's a very good description of my own tastes.

    80's Country. I can't figure out what makes country country. Twangy fender telecaster? Twangy singing accent? Simple two tone/alternating bass notes? Singing about guns, trains or constantly having bad luck with women, the drink and jobs?

    The Devil’s Right Hand - Steve Earle
    Highwayman - The Highwaymen
    City of New Orleans - Willie Nelson
    Pancho & Lefty - Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard
    Passionate Kisses - Lucinda Williams
    Guitar, Cadillacs - Dwight Yoakum
    He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones
    Old Chunk of Coal - Billy Joe Shaver
    Roll on Mississippi - Charlie Pride
    That’s The Way Love Goes - Merle Haggard
    What I Like About Texas - Gary P. Nunn
    Texas Women - Hank Williams Jr.
    Fishin' In The Dark - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
    Amarillo By Morning - Amarillo By Morning
    Old Hippie - The Bellamy Brothers
    Nowhere Road - Steve Earle
    I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool - Barbara Mandrell
    You Just Can’t Beat Jesus Christ - Billy Joe Shaver

    oh yeah please do! I like stuff that sounds like Peter Tosh and Inner Circle but because my reggae knowledge doesn't go much beyond them and Bob Marley I don't even know where to start.

    "I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
    And I went to pick her up in the pouring rain
    But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
    She got runned over by a dammed old train!"

    You Never Even Called Me By My Name
    (Steve Goodman/John Prine, made famous by David Allen Coe)

    The bad luck with women, drink, and jobs came to country from the blues, the guns from folk, but the trains are from Jimmy Rogers...

    The bass notes are a good indicator after about 1975, but some distinctly country bassists-- Emory Gordy for example-- don't do that; and before John Entwhistle all the English Invaders except McCartney did.

    But anyways, your list can all be counted as country-- the closest to exceptions (IMO) are "City" which is a folk song, but is done by Ol' Willie, and "Passionate Kisses" which,well, I'd count Lucinda as a singer/ songwriter and probably will-- but the song was a hit on the country charts for Mary Chapin Carpenter, so...

    I mean y'know, Japan is a country-- and Hank Sasaki recorded "This Is Where The Cowboy Rides Away" over there, and he don't have no twang...

    Several years ago my kid and I were driving through a Central Valley town (basically California's Midwest) and at a light we stopped next to a huge pickup with a young white guy blasting a song that said, "Ah'm a good ol' country boy, ah read mah Bible every day...." My kid to this day thinks those lyrics are the archetype of country music. Though I did play him Merle Haggard's The Old Man from the Mountain several months back and he admitted that was way the hell better....

    I dunno 'bout yours, but mine was a farm girl from North Brookfield with a drunk and abusive father and a dog named Bucket... Oh, you mean in the songs?

    At a guess Steven Foster and Edwin Christy, though we don't know a whole lot about Christy's repertoire other than "Swanee River."

    Foster wrote a metric ton of mother songs, although none of them seen to be memorable today; and he did write the oldest dog song I know of-- "Old Dog Tray." One would guess that Christy and his imitators picked them up, and a few of those companies survived long enough to overlap with the birth of vaudeville. And vaudeville had considerable bleed through into the early Grand Old Opry. "Tray" itself was durable enough that Walt Kelly was familiar with it, as he has Beauregard Bugleboy singing it in one of the early "Pogo" strips, c. 1950

    80s music from movie soundtracks - has to be a song released in the 80s (sorry Mozart/Amadeus and Louis Armstrong/Good Morning Vietnam and La Bamba and both Big Chill soundtracks etc.) but not necessarily for/with the soundtrack originally. No concert films included (seems unfair) and no documentaries. And I had to see the movie in the 1980s too, so anything from July 1988 to the end of the decade is out (no movie viewing; long story). Also: only one song per movie, which was tough in some cases. In alphabetical order by song title with artist and movie included as well:

    "Big Bottom" - Spinal Tap - This Is Spinal Tap
    "Don't You Forget About Me" - Simple Minds - The Breakfast Club
    "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" - Tears for Fears - Real Genius
    "Footloose" - Kenny Loggins - Footloose
    "Holiday Road" - Lindsey Buckingham - Vacation
    "I'm Alright" - Kenny Loggins - Caddyshack
    "I Melt With You" - Modern English - Valley Girl
    "In Your Eyes" - Peter Gabriel - Say Anything
    "I've Had the Time of My Life" - Jennifer Warren and Bill Medley - Dirty Dancing
    "Love Will Turn You Around" - Kenny Rogers - Six Pack
    "Man in Motion (St. Elmo's Fire)" - John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire
    "On the Road Again" - Willie Nelson - Honeysuckle Rose
    "Power of Love" - Huey Lewis and the News - Back to the Future
    "Pretty in Pink" - The Psychedelic Furs - Pretty in Pink
    "Purple Rain" - Prince - Purple Rain
    "Say You, Say Me" - Lionel Richie - White Nights
    "Take a Look at Me Now" - Phil Collins - Against All Odds
    "Up Where We Belong" - Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warren - An Officer and a Gentleman
    "We Don't Need Another Hero" - Tina Turner - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
    "What a Feeling" - Irene Cara - Flashdance

    Awesome - not to mention how you put yourself in these Houdini-like situations with your criteria - and yet still come through with a great list of songs.

    Great list - really hard to do that genre without a ton of tracks involving Lee Perry - he basically defined the genre. Mine will likely involve multiple tracks from artists too.

    Jesus & Mary Chain, no order, roughly 1985 - 1995. An underappreciated band IMO who was much more than Psychocandy. As Jim Reid once said "we were shooting for the sound of Nancy Sinatra backed by Einsturzende Neubauten." How can that be a bad thing? :D

    - The Hardest Walk
    - Something Wrong
    - Just Like Honey
    - Never Understand
    - Some Candy Talking
    - Deep One Perfect Morning
    - Darklands
    - Bo Diddly is Jesus
    - April Skies
    - Head On (also covered nicely by The Pixies)
    - Blues From a Gun
    - Reverence
    - Far Gone and Out
    - Dirty Water
    - Sometimes Always
    - Take It Away
    - Black
    - I Hate Rock N Roll
    - 33 1/3
    - Something I Can't Have

    Video featuring the lovely Hope Sandoval



    And Something I Can't Have because I love William Reid's guitar here

    I thought I was the only person ever noticed the Jazz Butcher at all...

    Ever hear Jo-el Sonnier's zydeco cover of "So Long Baby Goodbye?" Makes a great accordion and rubboard tune.

    Huh! Did you know there's a second generation regimental competitor in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

    The Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart-- his father's regimental corps was his "gateway drug" to drumming IIRC...
