My spotlight must hear 60s song is
Mother's Little Helper by The Rolling Stones
For music gift ideas for the holidays, these are some of my favorite albums of all time. All of these albums are outstanding. The Beatles 1, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road, Michael Jackson 25th Anniversary of Thriller, Back to Black, A Night at the Opera, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Just Like You is a very impressive debut rock/pop album by Allison Iraheta. Allison's voice is strong on all songs. My favorite is "D Is for Dangerous". Some of my other favorite songs are "Friday I'll Be Over U", "Robot Love", "Just Like You", "Don't Waste the Pretty", "Scars", "Holiday", and "Still Breathing". Just Like You is my current new favorite album.
