“Foreplay/Long Time” is a song by the rock band Boston, released on the band’s eponymous debut album, and as their second single, on Epic Records in 1976. It combines an instrumental introduction, “Foreplay,” to the main song “Long Time,” generally played as one on the radio and listed as one track on the album. It peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1977, and #11 on the singles chart in the United Kingdom.

In an interview for the ‘Best of Boston’ CD, Scholz said that ‘Foreplay’ was the first thing he ever recorded, and he did this on a two-track machine in his basement.

Booker T & the MG’s – green onions/ Some days I inspired by an old memory then there are times that I hear an oldie but a goodie on the car radio and I just have to share it with you. This song moves my soul. It’s so much fun. I hope you like it, and if you never heard it before, well your in for a treat. Enjoy.

In summer 1962, seventeen-year-old keyboardist Booker T. Jones, twenty-year-old guitarist Steve Cropper, bass player Lewie Steinberg, and Al Jackson Jr., a drummer making his debut with the company, were in the Memphis studio to back up former Sun Records star Billy Lee Riley. During downtime, the four started playing around with a bluesy little organ ditty reminiscent of Ray Charles. Jim Stewart, the president of Stax Records, liked what he heard and hit the “record” button. He liked the finished product enough to want to release it.^[9] Cropper remembered a riff that Jones had come up with weeks earlier and before long, they had a second song.

Stewart wanted to release the single with the first song, titled “Behave Yourself”, as the A-side and the second song as the B-side. Steve Cropper and radio disc jockeys thought otherwise; soon, Stax released Booker T. & the M.G.’s’ “Green Onions” backed with “Behave Yourself”. In conversation with BBC Radio 2’s Johnnie Walker, on his show broadcast on September 7, 2008, Steve Cropper revealed that the record became an instant success when DJ Reuben Washington, at Memphis radio station WLOK, played it four times in succession, this even before the tune or the band had an agreed name.

The single went to number one on the R&B charts and number three on the Pop charts and is now considered one of the most important riffs in rock history. It is featured in countless movies/trailers including a pivotal scene in the motion picture American Graffiti and on TV every year.

Yes “Owner Of A Lonely Heart”

“Owner of a Lonely Heart” is a song by the progressive rock band Yes. It is the opening track of their 1983 album 90125. Written primarily by Trevor Rabin (who was new to the band at the time), the song reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 — to date Yes’ biggest chart success by far.

Goodbye Stranger – SuperTramp/ I’m on a supertramp kick.  I could never really figure what this song was about. Is it about relationships or something else? Any ideas please let me know. I love this song because the music and the words take you on a ride. When a song can do that. It’s a sign of a good band, and great production.

“Goodbye Stranger” is a song by Supertramp, which first appeared on their 1979 album Breakfast in America.

The main “body” of the song is backed by a simple electric piano melody; the arrangement intensifies as the song progresses. This is eventually joined by intermittent electric guitar chords and bass. The song features several layers of vocals to complete the melody. Rick Davies sings the lead vocals and plays the Wurlitzer electric piano while Roger Hodgson sings background vocals on the chorus and plays the electric guitar, including the guitar solo during the conclusion. The song features falsetto vocals during the chorus, similar to those of the Bee Gees.

The track was one of three off Breakfast in America with a music video. In the video, the band play the track on a soundstage. Roger Hodgson and John Helliwell lip synch. In addition, John plays a Hammond organ.

It was featured on the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati on the episode “Baby, If You Ever Wondered”. It was also featured on the 1999 soundtrack to Magnolia album, along with “The Logical Song”.

“I Don’t Care Anymore” is a song by Phil Collins from his second solo album Hello, I Must Be Going.

The song is very dark, which follows a vast majority of songs from the album. The song can be compared to his earlier hit single “In the Air Tonight”, as both have very “powerful” drums along with simple keyboard chords and guitar riffs, along with the lyrics which are directed at the anger that Collins had over his first marriage.
