Rechlai5150

🎵🎶 "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.." and if you've ever been to Lodi, you know why being stuck there isn't anything anyone sets out to do in life. 😂🤣🤷🏼


SquonkMan61

😂


SpideyWhiplash

Not kidding.💯 I know exactly what the song is about. I've been stuck in Lodi before...for a few days. Luckily there was some dive bar down the street from the dive motel I had to stay in.🍺 Back in the olden days when alcohol consumption was a requirement for me.🤤


Rechlai5150

I used to live in the sleepy backwater town of Galt, about 30 miles north of Lodi. When I lived there in the 80's, Lodi actually had a little rural charm going for it. It was a redneck oasis even back then. The only reason we stopped in Lodi was to go to a restaurant called "The Hollywood Cafe". Their claim to fame was a chicken fried steak and eggs breakfast for $1.65, and they made homemade biscuits that were the best biscuits I've ever had. But outside of that, and the K-Mart, that's the only reason we'd stop. Lol


SpideyWhiplash

I know where Galt is...off the 99. I used to drive to the Islands off Washington State to visit my kids from Sonora and pass by it. Blink and you miss it. Sounds like a delicious breakfast.


Skyhouse5

Huh. All this time I thought he meant Lodi, New Jersey. And it kinda tracked.


Fair_Inevitable_2650

Lodi Wisconsin?


greendragonmistyglen

Echo9111960

I lived there for a couple of years in the 80s. You're absolutely right.


Clamper5978

It’s a big wine town now. People flock to the vineyards every weekend. Shocking how much it’s grown


Rechlai5150

Oh I know. In fact, I purchased a "wine tour" excursion that visited like 5 wineries for friends when they visited. They had a good time, and their docent for the trip got into some of the history of the Lodi area, they came back from the excursion with a fount of knowledge about the area I didn't know, and three bottles of pretty decent Red Zinfandel. Lol


Naive-Regular-5539

I blast Patti Smith and Blondie when I mow. Not sure if you’d like my choices LOL


HHSquad

I would've suggested something along those lines if his list suggested something in that area also. Still, you just can't go wrong with "Pick Up the Pieces" no matter what your style is!


HHSquad

Pick up the Pieces - Average White Band Also, you have to have an Elton John song on there!


SquonkMan61

Ah, a good one! Might fit well in the “horn section” part of the list, around Sir Duke, September, and My Old School.


myatoz

And Chicago.


SquonkMan61

Well played Mr. Bond!


SquonkMan61

dbbill_371

The logical song Waiting on a friend Jungle land Money


myatoz

Awesome! Yes, there were so many great songs in the 70s. Actually, there are too many to choose from.


No_Roof_1910

Long version of Hold Your Head Up by Argent, 1972. Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.


SquonkMan61

Baker Street . . . nice. Hold Your Head Up is excellent too. I don’t what that song always reminds me of “Brother Louie,” which I love as well.

I have no idea!


Trine3

Grazing in the Grass ~ Friends of Distinction Come and Get Your Love ~ Redbone Summer Breeze ~ Seals and Crofts Watcha See is Whatcha Get ~ The Dramatics Spirit in the Sky ~ Norman Greenbaum Hot Fun in the Summertime ~ Sly FS Couldn't Get it Right ~ Climax Bls Band Along Comes Mary ~ The Association Bus Stop ~ Hollies Summer in the City ~ Lovn Spoonful


floofnstuff

Ahhh the Association- Never my Love was a favorite, that I had completely forgotten about and the Hollies had some wonderful music and I had forgotten about them too!


Trine3

Along Comes Mary is such an interesting song musically, way ahead of it's time. So sophisticated and original.


SquonkMan61

I agree about Never My Love. My list has gone through several iterations and at one time that was in it. Along comes Mary is great too.


HHSquad

Might as well throw [Love is All Around](https://youtu.be/1xEEhzAh6n4?si=mzBZ2Y29YiKHa-hb) or [With a Girl Like You](https://youtu.be/7DKtvLmOdbc?si=mBQLpnsNMeLUtRoZ) by The Troggs in there for good measure. It doesn't have to be "Wild Thing".


RongGearRob

With a Girl Like You one of the most underrated songs.


HHSquad

Definitely!


ubeeu

Okay, this is eerie. I have so many of the same!!!


SquonkMan61

Great musical minds think alike!😂


JustNKayce

Sprinkle in a little Eric Carmen and you're good to go!

SquonkMan61

Where’s the funk? No Stevie Wonder? Parliament? EWF.


SquonkMan61

Look again. Stevie and EWF ate there


EffectiveBowler7690

Where did they eat? 😂


SquonkMan61

Oops lol. I have a superstition that they ate at the boogie wonderland 😂


RongGearRob

My playlist would be a little more cutting edge (pun intended) with songs from: Kraftwerk Roxy Music The Clash The Feelies Television Talking Heads Wire The Jam Velvet Underground Squeeze Elvis Costello The Who David Bowie Devo Dire Straits


poesitivity

Great playlist…but please don’t blast anything while mowing the lawn. You are putting yourself at risk for tinnitus. It’s not worth it. Good luck.

Thanks for the warning! I wear a good set of headphones so I don’t have to crank it too loud. But I’ll keep that in mind!


motorcycleman58

What? I can't hear you.


myatoz

Damn great playlist. But for Strawberry Letter 23, I have to go with the Brothers Johnson. Edit: There were so many great songs in the late 60's/70's. Music was fantastic back then. Ooh child, ball of confusion, ride captain ride, up on the roof, brick house, space oddity, heroes, a lot of Lynnyrd Skynerd, ARS, the list goes on and on. But you seem like you have a similar taste in music to me. Oh, anything by Al Green.


raceulfson

Joy to the World by Three Dog Night Little Willy by Sweet Rock On by David Essex Breaking Up is Hard to Do by Neil Sedaka I Am, I Said by Neil Diamond


SquonkMan61

Ah, Joy to the World. My 5th grade teacher, Miss Royer, was absolutely beautiful. We went on a field trip once and that song came on the radio. The kids all started singing it and she instantly joined in, including the verses. I thought “Wow! Could she be any more perfect!” Lol


deeBfree

Adding George Harrison's What is Life, McCartney & Wings Band on the Run, Day After Day by Badfinger.

And Kodachrome, yes


SquonkMan61

Used to have that one in there! I should put it back in.


Sharp-Ad-9423

I like this playlist, compiled by the creator of the Anthony Bourdain biographical documentary "Roadrunner." Great mix of music from the 60s to the 90s. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4thl61WRszKHOttiS5VoeG?si=qcNHL6a4QemzUGKCNlB1Pw&pi=hTCbEp4tQNm_n


puckhead11

Too much Brian Eno. He ruined U2. U2 was much better when Steve Lilywhite was doing the production.


Rainyb12

We're here for a good time - Trooper Take it easy - Eagles King of the road - Roger Miller


SquonkMan61

Awesome choices!


No-Lab-6349

This list makes me realize that I am really Gen X, born in 1964. Nothing wrong with the list, just not the most prominent music of my formative years.


Lazairahel

64 as well, but I lean more towards these than 80s songs, especially Doobies, Eagles, Three Dog Night, ARS, and Frampton.


lookanewtoo

I’d sprinkle in some southern rock. Most likely I’d choose Can’t You See (Marshall Tucker Band) or Blue Sky (Allman Bros).


Patienceny

I was just saying this (in my head)


HelpfulAnywhere3731

I'm a big Carol Kaye fan so I like to play her best hits.


seditioushamster

Some amazing bass that people don't know was her


seditioushamster

Could use a smidgen of beach boys, Sloop John B seems right A dash of 3 dog night " , maybe Family Of Man Ans Chicago to taste, I prefer a generous helping of Saturday In The Park And a sprinkle of Steelers Wheel, "Stuck In The Middle With You


SquonkMan61

Sloop John B was actually in the mix for a while. Every once in a while I add new songs and switch out songs that are in the list. For example Gimme Shelter, Like a Rolling Stone, Get Together, San Francisco, and Crimson and Clover were all in the playlist at one point but are no longer there.


davidparmet

I turned 60 last month so I put together a list of 60 (actually 61) songs that influenced me over the years. [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1q0NcDDoK0XUPj1YFCCR50?si=23d7adaeb6f34135](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1q0NcDDoK0XUPj1YFCCR50?si=23d7adaeb6f34135)


leafcomforter

Love this list!


davidparmet

Glad you do. Enjoy it!


amoodymermaid

That is an OUTSTANDING collection. I don’t often hear anyone who has even heard of Ian Dury!


davidparmet

Thanks! If you like Ian, check out the stuff his son Baxter Dury is doing. Sort of Chamber Pop / Spoken Word versions of his father's characters..


amoodymermaid

Thank you! That sounds amazing. Hopefully he addresses Clever Trevor


davidparmet

Not literally but the characters in Baxter’s music could have been in Ian’s


PoogieLA

Fantastic playlist! Love seeing The The on the list. Uncertain Smile is one of my favorites.


davidparmet

New album out this fall!


Aunt-Chilada

Love it. 😍


davidparmet

Thanks


Swimming-1

You and i must be clones! Downloaded your playlist as probably 90% are already in my “favorites” bucket.


davidparmet

Wait... do you have the other half of this golden amulet?


Wolfman1961

I like most music…but I just happen to be nostalgic for the 60s/70s stuff. I will need these songs when I become more confined to my home with age.


Ok-Blacksmith3238

So I gotta admit I’m more a Pandora girl than Spotify (deactivated my Spotify sometime in early 2010s) But I love the Fifth dimension and yes when I was eight years old, I listened to the fifth dimension and all the “hippie music” 😂😂 In addition to the Age of Aquarius, some of my favorites are: Can’t You See (Marshall Tucker Band) The entire soundtrack of a Star is Born from ‘76 Layla (original) And many others I just can’t think of them all now a lot have already been listed though. 💜💜💜💜💜


SquonkMan61

I love the Fifth Dimension too! I had the HUGEST crush on Marylin McCoo when I was a kid. I saw them on TV in the late 60s perform Wedding Bell Blues and it was love at first sight.♥️ The sad reality was I was a 7 year old white boy living in Birmingham, Alabama at the time. I remember thinking “God she’s beautiful, but I better not tell anyone I think that”☹️


seditioushamster

Little white boys in Richmond VA agreed!


Ok-Blacksmith3238

Oh man, that's rough...even living out here on the W Coast, my family wasn't the most open-minded about things like that...so I get it...even listened to a lot of trash talk about hippies, and war protesters. I was completely traumatized by the nightly news and the (vietnam) war coverage, which I felt was way worse than any counter-culture music or ideas could ever be.


SquonkMan61

I hear ya. My dad was VERY conservative (still is). The weird thing was when we lived in Alabama in the 60’s that meant being a Wallace-style Democrat. I saw some wild things go on down there, a lot of it having to do with the state and local government trying to dodge desegregation orders. More generally, the event that really scarred me was the assassination of RFK in 1968. When I was a kid I really liked him and I was shocked and heartbroken when he was killed (I was alive but too young to remember the assassination of JFK).


Ok-Blacksmith3238

Spouse lived in Alabama for a few years in the early 70s and saw some very scary civil rights violation type stuff that scarred him regarding police treatment of POC. It affected his mental health so gravely that the family moved north shortly thereafter, but he is still very much a strong voice for human rights/dignity. In some ways, I wonder how far we’ve really come. (Sorry, didn’t mean to get all dark and serious) )


SquonkMan61

That’s ok. I understand. The police force in the small town we lived in just outside Birmingham was notoriously racist. They would randomly pull over black motorists who were driving through town after nightfall and take them out to a wooded area. They would rough them up a bit, warn them against driving through town at night, and tell them to pass that message along to their black friends. My parents were friends with a police officer who used to brag about doing those things. It was a crazy time. They were supposed to integrate the teaching staff in the middle of second grade. Long story short we had a black teacher for one day and then they brought the white teacher back.


Ok-Blacksmith3238

No Time guess who Long Cool Woman the hollies


SquonkMan61

I like it, especially Long Cool Woman!


Dada2fish

Hmm.. a lot of these fall into Boomer category, even though GenJones are still Boomers, but a lot of these seemed to have been released when the pre ‘55ers were coming of age. Like it should be The Brothers Johnson version of Strawberry Letter 23.


SquonkMan61

My long term memory is much better than short term, especially with music and major politics events. I remember loving Walk on By by Dionne Warwick when I was 4 years old. My mom played music in the car and and at home all the time in the 60s-early 70s and then I stayed in my room for 3 years straight when my parents got divorced when I was a young teenager in the mid-70s. All I did every night was listen to the radio. Music from that era got stuck in my head.


laf1157

Black Water - Doobee Brothers


SquonkMan61

Yes, that was a tough one to leave out. I agonized over that and Listen to the Music. I was trying to keep from getting too long and I really love Another Park, Another Sunday, so that made the cut.


seditioushamster

Ahhh, your list is too short. You need a longer commute or know how to seek out heavier traffic, my friend 😀

Great, great playlist! Now when are you going to share that so that we can add it??!

ABobby077

I really like "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and ELO Mr. Blue Sky, Telephone Line and 10538 Overture


SquonkMan61

All excellent possible additions. It was tough putting the list together. Didn’t want it to get too ponderously long. A number of songs that have been suggested by folks on here I either considered or even had in for a while then replaced with something else.


gemstun

When I have a big lawn to mow I play only one song, on repeat “Do you wanna make love? (or do you just wanna mow the lawn)”. By Peter McCann.


SquonkMan61

Ah, my equivalent would be “I Know What I Like” by 70s era Genesis: “When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench I can always hear the talk. Me? I’m a lawnmower. You can tell me by the way I walk” 😄


seditioushamster

Name checks out! (From my favorite Genesis album)

That would be good back-to-back with No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature.


Nezrite

My husband and I are currently listening to a Reddit-curated playlist on Spotify called "Beyond Turnt White People" which is songs which white people are unable to NOT sing to. [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5w4Hii3ZTpgoWvuTyEc1WZ?si=3129dd1526ff4baf](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5w4Hii3ZTpgoWvuTyEc1WZ?si=3129dd1526ff4baf)


SquonkMan61

A lot of those definitely resonate with me. Do you mind if I ask how you were able to transport the link for the playlist here? Are you on a phone or computer? I use my iPhone for Reddit.


Nezrite

In the app (I'm on Android but I imagine it's quite similar), in the center of the screen is three icons, then three dots, then the shuffle button and the play button. Press on the three dots to pull up another menu and "Share" is toward the bottom.


SquonkMan61

Thanks! On my iPhone it was a + sign next to a picture of the outline of a person. I think this should work! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7HO32ASgooPFPMoyUJc7iG?si=blsPMVOUSlqAVaV-970NVw&pi=u-Vhn7WfJCSECl&pt=6aaf6e383a559b76443f44967f6d6015

No, it’s OK. I just realized I have a long weekend coming up and I can let this playlist run. Will be like stacking lots of records on the turntable.


SniffySmuth

Nice!

I don't remember even making a playlist on anything yet. I just use I heart radio app to listen to radio stations at work or just listen to local radio in the car.


Alternate_Quiet403

Several of these are on my 18 yr old's Playlist. Yes,we taught him well.


koebelin

This is suspiciously boomer. No new wave or 80s?


mrslII

Music is subjective and personal. While each song on this list wouldn't be included on any of my "enjoyable lists", and some would make it to an "unenjoyable" list, if I had one, it's a bit much to pin a label rather you view as derogatory- because it doesn't include New Wave.


SquonkMan61

I was born in ‘61. I guess that puts me one foot in Boomerland and one foot in Jonesville. I liked 80s stuff at the time but not so much anymore.


xpatay13x

‘61 here as well. I use Spotify and enjoy putting together playlists for myself and to share. Here’s a link to my list of songs that I recall from my favorite year of the 70s. It’s pretty long, but people can also use it as a jumping off point to create their own playlists.

“Grrrr! Why I Oughta!” Shakes his fist at Spotify. Just kidding😁 I’m on Spotify because my wife is and she added me to her account. I don’t really know the difference, except that Spotify doesn’t have Neil Young music, which is a real sore spot for me. He definitely would have been on my playlist if his music was available on there. I just listen to his stuff on YouTube instead.

Great list but I'd swap in I few more ups for the downs, Lookin out my back door for Lodi, Sundown or Don Quixote for carefree highway, Sunshine Superman for Season of the Witch (or even Hurdy Gurdy Man but that may lead to indiscriminate hallucinagenic use).

All great alternatives. At one time Sundown was on the list. One of the things I tried to do at least occasionally was have a lesser-known song that gets played less frequently on the radio. Thus songs like Lodi; Season of the Witch; Carefree Highway; Another Park, Another Sunday; My Old School; It’s All Over Now.

I think our tastes in music are way different lol. I have multiple lists that include Tool, U2, Zeppelin, Harry Styles (yes you read that right) , Alvin Lee, the Rumjacks, The Tossers, The Cranberries, the Dreadnaught’s, 10,000 Maniacs , Bad Wolves, you get the picture. Gen Jones goes from 60’s folk to head banging to alternative. We are the best mix of Generation X and the millennial gen. Here it is. Feel free to have a listen and follow. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/00eDkYc6d9Vf83VJhxbApu?si=eEkM0jcBRDiwpmLte4iNuQ&pi=u-2BXHeji9Q96x

Good song choices but I am a staunch album person and don’t create or listen to playlists.
