Here is my list:

* everything the kids on The Brady Bunch sang
* everything on The Beatles' "White Album"
* everything on The Eagles' "Desperado" album (the highest anything charted was "Outlaw Man", reaching #59 in 1973!)
* "Nirvana" by Robert Plant in 1990 (which I used to think was "Nevada", as in The Silver State

! Then I saw the album was titled "Manic Nirvana", as in the Kurt Cobain grunge band

)

Oh okay, I didn't know that. I guess by lesser known songs, I mean songs that aren't all that well known today. "Dream On" kind of seems like one of those forgotten classics to me. But yeah, I love that song!! Along with "Quitting Time", and "Don't Laugh At Me", it's probably my favorite Country song of all time.

	__________________ I don't really get out a lot. When I do go out, I couldn't be happier. I love being in a nice milieu. I'm as happy as a clam. Just as long as I'm not in some club playing hip-hop. You hear that sort of thing in a lot of places. That's not my milieu. Rock and roll is good-time music. I love rock. So did my parents.
