Two more songs to round out the week. On Monday we enter the Top Twenty!

Our first entry today comes a day after the 36th anniversary of John's passing. I can only "imagine" what he'd think of the state of the world today. About the same, I suspect, as he did when he wrote this.

The second is one of Brian Wilson's sweetest melodies.



22. IMAGINE-JOHN LENNON (1971)
Album: Imagine

Words cannot do this song justice. Its message still is relevant 45 years later...maybe even more so.




21. DON'T WORRY BABY-THE BEACH BOYS (1964)
Album: Shut Down Vol. 2

Modeled after group leader Brian Wilson's favorite record, "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes, the opening drums lead directly into those
unparalleled lush harmonies and Brian's melancholy falsetto lead vocal. The creativity really started picking up steam around this
time..Wilson was just getting started...

This song came out before I was listening to a lot of music. It was then "lost" behind many more popular Beach Boys' songs.

In an odd coincidence, it never really hit my radar until Keith Moon did a cover of it on a solo album. Yes, Keith Moon. I was a huge fan of The Who, and, thus, had all of their various solo projects, too. This ties one of today's Boney songs to the Boney album (for me).
