Blackstreet - No Diggity ft. Dr. Dre, Queen Pen

Because they just don't mix rock and soul like this anymore.

Glenn Frey - The One You Love



Although this song has been the butt of jokes in the past few decades (a sleazy saxophone can do that), it's still unforgettable. Thanks for this song, Glenn. This always killed when I'd play it at quizzes. #RIPGlennFrey

Because I always thought this 30 year-old song was underrated but awesome.

David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancing In The Street

The Making of Star Wars - 1977 Documentary



What a find. I remember seeing bits of this ON BETAMAX in the 1980s. :p Narrated by William "The Fat Man" Conrad, dig the 70s fashion and effects! Mark, Harrison, Carrie, and George are still so young and fresh-faced here. And that line by Threepio that "it will never end" seems truer than ever 39 years later. ;)
