America – “Sandman”
Genre: generationally conscious folk rock
Feeling: it’s the early 70s, white working-class Americans still have a semblance of purchasing power, and by golly, they are gonna spend it on a 6 pack of Milwaukee’s best and front row at an America concert.
Lyric Sample:
“Funny, I’ve been there
And you’ve been here
And we ain’t had no time to drink that beer’
Cause I understand you’ve been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman“
The Eagles – “Rocky Mountain Way”
Genre: 102.9 WBLM Fan Favorites
Feeling: the anthem for uprooting your life and driving across 70 or 80 to Colorado/Utah
Lyric Sample:
“Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had
Hey, hey, hey, hey“
STRFKR – “Nite Rite”
Genre: songs that your local Indy rock station thinks it found first (I’m looking at you, KRCL)
Feeling: getting out of work in a trance state on an unseasonably warm late-spring evening.
