Song you shouldn’t ask for as an encore unless you really want to hear it: “Freebird”, Lynyrd Skynyrd (#193). Because Freebird. Surely, somewhere some band is playing it now.
Song I don’t have but should, part 1: “The Thrill Is Gone”, B.B. King (#185). You know that Will “The Thrill” Clark used to use this as his answering machine greeting, back when answering machines were a thing, right?
Song I first heard as a MOB arrangement: “Hey Ya”, Outkast (#182). Most of the songs we play in the MOB these days that I don’t otherwise know are songs I’m too old to have heard on the radio.
Song I don’t have but should, part 2: “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, Joy Division (#181). I have a much better appreciation of music I disdained back in the day thanks to the “classic alternative” channel on Sirius.
I can recommend either the June Tabor/Oysterband version of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” or else the Nouvelle Vague version.
