Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard: Paul Simon (We was all on the cover of Newsweek). This is almost certainly a repeat, but I don't have it in me to scroll back 19 pages worth of posts.

[MarybethG691589]

Heard it on the X by ZZ Top

"So listen to your radio

Most each and every night

'cause if you don't I'm sure you won't 

Get to feeling right"......

Mr. Roboto by Styx

"The problems plain to see

Too much Technology

Machines to save our loves

Machines dehumanize"......

[MaVolta]

Welcome to the Machine - Pink Floyd

It's about the greed of the music industry, producers, and managers and their methods to exert control over the band.  Other rock bands had similar complaints, not just Pink Floyd. But in this case, the band believed it was the contributing cause that led to Syd Barrett's mental breakdown.

[BeatleloverKT]

How about this one? Graceland by Paul Simon. I've been there, not a bigger portrayer for the media out there lol

[Raynyky]

Book of Love-The Monotones 

[Raynyky]

Sad songs-Elton John

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
'Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know

[BeatleloverKT]

Add some music to your day by the Beach Boys
