OK, the trip down memory lane-- anybody else want to admit to these?
"Hocus Pocus" by the band Focus
Deodato's rock version of "Also Sprach Zarathrusta" (the 2001 A Space Odyessy theme)
"Toccata and Funk in D minor"-- a real piece of "Classical" rock with a Bach beat.
The sound track from West Side Story (my Dad's copy)
Andy Williams (my sister would fall asleep to his records)
Walter Carlos's "Well Tempered Synthesizer"-- a follow up to "Switched on Bach" (Walter Carlos put a switch on himself when he became Wendy Carlos, so it's weird to his/her stuff now)
Tenesee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons"
The Lawrence Welk show
Perry Como
Spike Jones
"Inna Gada Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly (I still remember parts of the 17 minute drum solo)
Eddie Arnold
"Smoke on the Water"
Big band music
Tin Pan Alley songs ("Who's sorry now", etc.)
Sing Along with Mitch
Anything and everything on AM rock n roll in the 60s and 70s.
That's all I can think of now. It's a mix, but then so am I.
