(Updated September 29th, 2023) Part 13 of Classic Rock Songs That Continue To Resonate Today

Hello,

This is another time that Blogger won't let me add videos. When I can I'll add videos to this blog. In the meantime here are the 17 songs for this blog and a preview of the next blog in this series. I had added the video for the Slade song previously.

This is another blog inspired by music from "Reacher". Oscar Finlay is a man that loves a good old 80s rock jam, meanwhile Reacher is more of a Blues guy. Two different blog series have been inspired by music from "Reacher". First it was classic ballads inspired by "Crazy". Now it's mostly great 80s rock inspired by "Carry On My Wayward Son" and "Caught Up In You". I so love hearing these songs again, they bring back so many memories. Thankfully most of those memories are great.

Now my definition of classic rock is not your typical classic rock definition. First of all I hate the phrase classic rock- all rock music is just rock. I include in these series of blogs songs that rock, but aren't your standard rock music you'd hear on classic rock radio. (I typed those last three words with my head in a barf bag.) If a song has rock lyrics I consider it a rock song.

And don't most rock songs, if they stay relevant long enough, become a classic rock song?
