(FInished September 9th, 2024) They Don't Write 'Em Like That Any More

Hello,

I heard The Greg Kihn Band's "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" on my morning walk today. I don't completely agree with that assessment but there were a lot of amazings songs before that song was released in 1981. Here are 17 of those great songs.

Kihn died a little bit less than a month ago at the age of 75. Although he never achieved great success this is one of the first songs that helped me discover my love of music, especially rock music. The Greg Kihn Band "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em):
