That Dandy Classic Track of the Day #17
No one was sure what to expect when New Order came back in 2001 after an 8-year layoff. What we got was pure “Crystal” Bernard Sumner-sung goodness!

In 1986 Gregory Abbott took the Billboard charts by storm with his one-shot masterpiece “Shake You Down” and he had the world by the tail. His career didn’t work out the way he probably saw it going, but damn it, no one can take this awesome tune away from him.

CBGB and Max’s Kansas City were awesome places to be in 1976. The punk underground was beginning to peek out from obscurity and the Ramones were leading the pack for punk rock in America. From their debut album we’ve selected this little Dee Dee Ramone penned gem, 53rd & 3rd, as our track of the day.

How many great songs talk about hitting the bottle with Ronald McDonard? Just this one. “Down At McDonnelzzz” by the Electric 6 is a combination of Prince falsetto-meets-crazy-guitar-meets-dance-floor.

Back in the day Dan and Randy made cheesy, yet funny, videos. This is the theme song of their very first show “Justice”.

Early Bruce is a study in grasp exceeding reach at times. But young Bruce got it all right on this track that would definitely rank among my favorite Boss tunes. ‘Incident on 57th Street’ is a pocket symphony and Scorsese film set to music.

That Dandy Classic Track of the Day #11
Sam Cooke is often cited as one of the fathers of soul music, and rightly so. He had 30 Top 40 hits from 1957-1964, before he was tragically gunned down in the prime of his life. “Fool’s Paradise” wasn’t one of those songs, but featuring his excellent voice front-and-center, it’s a lost treasure worth hearing.
