705 - Love them; excellent track and parent album.
704 - Fun song, holds up well; good for happy-type vibes.
703 - Some of her songs are overwrought to the point of excruciation, but this is one that manages to take heavy content and treat it well.
702 - In most circles, this band is underrated.
701 - So many great Bee Gees songs out there. Can't say I'd call this one of them, but I'm in the minority there.
700 - Hard to believe we're now in a Ramones-less world, but the legacy will always live. Excellent selection.
699 - Ah, back when she used to seem interesting. Nice pick.
698 - One of many perfect songs from the Ronettes catalogue.
697 - Will never tire of this track. Still as great as when it first dropped.
696 - Interesting to see you choose this. Unexpected; lovely. Can't go wrong with Simone attached to a track.
695 - A piece that defines its period and style well. Another fun track.
694 - Good track. Like many of their others better now, but this one still did the work of grabbing attention when it was released. Well placed.
693 - Excellent song and a rare demonstration of proper use of the subjunctive tense.
692 - Very nice track from a band that is sometimes overrated, sometimes wildly underrated, sometimes mystifying, and, as a result of these swirling contradictions, undeniably legendary.
691 - Lovely melancholy piece.
690 - As you say, a non-single that has rightfully stood the test of time.
689 - What's that word? For when your brain can't process something due to the elements seeming too disconnected? I can't remember it, but that's what's always prevented me from being able to enjoy it. Overthinking would be a way to simplify the idea, I guess.
688 - Awesome. Glad to see it. Way back when, I remember this also used to soundtrack local weather forecasts, haha.
687 - Yep, was a welcome success.
686 - It does have a certain charm to it, no?
685 - Sheer amazingness. Love this song and always will.
684 - Another perfect selection, this time from an amazing band and penned by brilliant songwriters.
683 - Yep, great song indeed. I'll hold on further commentary for another month or four.
682 - Certainly one of their better '70s selections as a group. Nice pick.
681 - One of my favorites of his, perhaps just lagging behind "You Never Can Tell". Glad to see it represented.
680 - Agreed on the surprisingly not overrated despite what it managed to achieve element of your commentary.
679 - Very nice song; smooth. Not necessarily something I could hear daily, but a track with undeniable artistry and soul, and one which is important.
678 - Don't remember this song, but first impression is positive.
677 - Will never, ever age. Love it so much.
676 - Classic. Glad it made the cut.
675 - Oh how I love this band. One of a handful of tracks of theirs that I could repeat all day errday.
674 - Never too much Nancy. Good song.
673 - It took me way too long to appreciate this album as a whole as opposed to select tracks, but I eventually came around. Nice pick.
672 - Nat "King" Cole is one of those names I think people can recognize, but can't necessarily associate with the music. Too bad if I'm right about the latter part.
671 - Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
670 - I'm weak on jazz. I've listened to the album before because I'd feel inadequate for not being able to say that, but still have to listen to know which track is which. Good pick, rightful classic album.
669 - Another that doesn't burn on me.
668 - Left field selection, but hard to go wrong with the Donovan songbook. I was just thinking earlier tonight that I haven't had his stuff on my computer in many years. Should rectify that.
667 - Excellent band, excellent track. Another group whose music I really need to add back to my damn playlist.
666 - Heh, appropriate placing. But, yeah, great track here. Early Alice Cooper is indeed OTT in the best kind of way.
665 - A bit burnt on it from overplay, but there's a reason it's stayed so recognizable and well-used.
664 - One of her best hits. Great lyrics and the song is well-suited for Clark's vocal talents.
663 - This song is made of happy and I love it.
662 - It's Only Rock 'N' Roll was one of the first Stones albums I ever bought. Ah, the memories of my teenage years. Anyway, great track, great band.
661 - Anthem indeed. Well included.
So, question, What's your favorite Bee Gees song that hasn't been included in this project yet?
