Tonight’s Friday Music Thread: Tunes that in a more just world would be better known than what’s played on oldies’ radio. No order. Just #SongsIWishMorePeopleKnew. Feel free to share your own. 1st up, Bob Mould, from Husker Du, with See a Little Light.
Here’s one I post a lot because I can’t believe it’s not a classic. The Monkees, written by Ben Gibbard. It’s Me & Magdalena. #SongsIWishMorePeopleKnew
Big in UK, nothing here. A new wave classic. The Only Ones-Another Girl, Another Planet. #SongsIWishMorePeopleKnew
Opening track on my favorite album.
