Song the girls would like if I played it for them: “Umbrella”, Rihanna (#412). It’s right in their wheelhouse.
Song every Yankees fan associates with Mariano Rivera: “Enter Sandman”, Metallica (#408). They should play it when he’s inducted to the Hall of Fame.
Song the MOB played once, then gave to a school that would appreciate it more: “Sweet Home Alabama”, Lynyrd Skynyrd (#407). I don’t remember why then-director Ken Dye said he’d arranged it, but after one rehearsal of it he said he’d give the arrangement to the Crimson Tide band.
Song I may still have on vinyl but if so I haven’t ripped it: “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”, Elton John (#390). I owned (and may still own, I’ll have to check) two volumes’ worth of Elton John’s greatest hits on vinyl. Neither ever made it into my digital collection.
Song I used to own but don’t anymore: “Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)”, Pink Floyd (#384). I think I recorded a friend’s copy of this from vinyl to cassette once. Go ahead, sic the RIAA on me.
Song I don’t own but should: “Ohio”, CSNY (#395). As with “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”, I should own more CSNY.
