The next 3 songs on my list are all pretty well-known...


332. FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME-FOREIGNER (1977)
Album: Foreigner

This should be one of those songs, overplayed on classic rock stations, that
I should be sick to death of. But I still love it. So many little things: the shimmery
harmonies, the guitar scratching under the second verse, the propulsive bass and
drum combo, and my favorite part, the simple yet golden drum fill at 1:37 of the song.




331. WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN-SEALS AND CROFTS (1973)
Album: Diamond Girl

Yeah, yeah, I know..many would consider this a wimpy, 7-years-too-late-for-the-
summer-of-love bit of fluff..and let's face it, this duo was never all that high
on the cool-o-meter, but I've always had a soft spot in my heart for it. Believe me,
there are worse things to be embarrassed about liking..and you'll see some of them as we
progress through this countdown lol..




330. TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT-EAGLES (1975)
Album: One Of These Nights

Randy Meisner has the lead vocal here, chock full of those famous
Eagles harmonies you get lost in.

These are three really good songs!

Here's an interesting entry from Randy Meisner's wiki page:
In 1988 a man named Lewis Peter "Buddy" Morgan started impersonating Meisner.[46] He had previously been charged with impersonating Don Henley in Las Vegas, but skipped on his bail.[47] Morgan's identity was not conclusively revealed until 1997.[46] In 1998 he was arrested and spent 16 months in jail, but upon his release continued his charade and was still doing so as of 2009.[48] In Reno, Nevada, he tried to use Meisner's identity to rent hotel rooms. He was not as successful as before with the ruse, since the city's hotels had notified each other of the impostor. Some people are not familiar with Meisner's appearance, and Morgan used that fact to con musical instrument manufacturers and retailers, casino owners, and women.

I always thought that Seals & Croft were way high on the cool-o-meter. I had evidence -- not much airplay from RadioDude.. .
