Being the fan of Pete Doherty that I am, his music that is, not his lifestyle, what more is there to say except "I'd be a liar if I said I'd never do drugs again."

Song Of The Week - Reflections Of My Life
If you like this video, please download it before youtube removes it for some silly reason. I use ZamZar. I insert the url, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79NiN7ISW7E and select mpg as the file format, and give them my email address, and then wait a few minutes for them to send me an email with the download link.
Lyrics:
The changing
Of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
The greetings
Of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
All my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my crying
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
I'm changing, arranging
I'm changing, I'm changing everything
Well, everything around me
The world is a bad place
A bad place, a terrible place to live
Well, but I don't wanna die
All my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my crying
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
All my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my crying
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back, take me back.

Ahhh....The Seventies
So who here remembers the seventies? The 1970's that is, I'm not talking about age here. I would've remembered the seventies better if I was older, but since I was born in 1972, I was a little too young to remember much of it. I think it was about having lots of free unprotected sex, and avoiding commitments in relationships at all costs, and Watergate and Nixon and the end of the Vietnam War and the end of the draft. The Bee Gees and disco and Welcome Back Kotter, and the movie Car Wash, definitely.
Afro's and bell bottoms and pet rocks and Have Nice Day! Jimmy Carter and his peanuts. He sent one to us in the mail back in 1975 I believe, and I ate it and it was dry. Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta and Vinnie Barbarino and Happy Days, and for me kindergarten in 1978. I don't remember it all but I do remember the music, and that's what's important to me is the music.
So without further ado, here is the best of the Seventies thus far, according to me. I'll be adding more, most definitely.

Time Life Soul Story
This Is The Time Life Soul Story Collection in all it's glory, more or less, a few songs just were not available, and of course there's a 3 song per group limit, which put a little bit of a damper on things, but not much. Great music. 150 songs in the original collection, I added a couple extra songs to make up for the ones that were not available.

Northing Matters And What If It Did?
From John Cougar's 2 best albums American Fool and Nothing Matters and What If It Did?
I always enjoyed saying the title of the second album, nothing matters and what if it did? simply because it's true to most of life's circumstances. But the songs that bring back alot of memories for me are Jack and Diane, the best line being..."Life goes on, (and on and on and on) long after the thrill of living is gone." How true that is. I never realized this truth when I listened to this song as a little kid. I thought life would be fun forever.
And I remember the time when Jack and Diane was one of my favorite songs, and couldn't wait to hear it any chance I could, and once when I was at a campground with my parents, I went to the recreation room and put a dime in the jukebox to play the song. So many years have gone by since then and I haven't played a jukebox in years, and won't unless the prices go back to 10 cents a song. But it wouldn't be the same anyway.
Other songs I enjoyed, even though they don't hold any real memories, are Hurt so Good, and Ain't Even Done With the Night and Hand to Hold on To. All good songs meant to be listened to over and over again.

1981
I'm not really sure what happened to 1981 but I do remember it very well, even though I was only 8 years old for most of the year. The songs still bring back a lot of memories.

Kid Charlemagne - Karaoke
Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan
using singshot.com
While the music played you worked by candle light.
Those San Francisco nights
You were the best in town.
Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl.
You turned it on the world.
That's when you turned the world around.
Did you feel like Jesus?
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene,
But yours was kitchen clean.
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motorhome.
Every A-frame had your number on the wall.
You must've had it all.
You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone.
Could you live forever?
Could you see the day?
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?
Get along
Get along Kid Charlemagne
Get along Kid Charlemagne
Now your patrons have all left you in the red.
Your low-rent friends are dead.
Life can be very strange.
All those day-glo freaks who used to paint the face,
They've joined the human race.
Some things will never change.
Son you were mistaken.
You are obsolete.
Look at all the white men on the street.
Get along
Get along Kid Charlemagne
Get along Kid Charlemagne
Clean this mess up, else we'll all end up in jail.
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get it all out of here.
Is there gas in the car?
Yes, there's gas in the car.
I think the people down the hall know who you are.
Careful what you carry.
'Cause the man is wise;
You are still an outlaw in their eyes.
Get along
Get along Kid Charlemagne
Get along Kid Charlemagne

Greatest Songs From 1968 - Part 1
Since Finetune was acting up something fierce when I compiled this play list, I only got as far as part 1 on the greatest recordings from 1968 But no Beatles were available, and probably never will be, this is a quote I found on the Beatles
"You can still listen to the beatles on Artist Radio, and their tracks can still be added when using the I'm Lazy button. However the owners demand more money if we allow people to add them at will."
So no Beatles. And also the audio quality may not be quite up to par on some of these songs, I haven't really had the time to listen to it yet.

After watching The Girl Can't Help It and getting a taste of some vintage Rock n Roll music from 1956, I was on a quest for more golden oldies from 1956 when I stumbled across this site listing the Greatest Recordings From 1956 And so I created a play list using these songs, the ones that were available that is, divided into two parts, and there is some damn good music in there, some songs you rarely, if ever, hear on the radio.
Part 1
