Friday Night Long Songs List 1

This is the first time we’re featuring those LONG songs that didn’t fit the AM radio format. These songs began to be played on FM stations later in the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the groups had socially conscious or politically controversial messages in the lyrics. Some weren’t songs you danced to; you’d listen and absorb. We liked our albums — concept albums, too. I thought I would feature just one of the long songs, but heck, all the requests have something about them I like. (Either my taste is eclectic — or I have none at all. Entirely possible.) And I try to honor all requests. Anyway, here’s the batch from this week. Relax with the substance of your choice, if any, and enjoy.

The songs are posted here and are also in the Pass the Paisley juke box. Go here to the Groove Pad, then click on the juke box and any song you want to here.
