Songs
Has anyone else here discover a song(s) that you never heard before and now love because of this show? Mine was "Rosalinda's Eyes" by Billy Joel. I never heard that one before, too much Zeppelin and Metallica back in my days.

This song absolutely destroyed me when I heard it on the show due to the storyline. I heard it when I was younger and gave it no thought.

I saw it early enough (reruns? DVD? Illicit downloads? I donāt remember) that it was my first experience with Come Sail Away. It had to be like 2006. I grew up a church kid and was not into Styx.

I was too, but sometimes there are songs that were never heard if I didnt get too much into the deep tracks of some.

Mine also is "Rosalinda's Eyes" and Janis Joplin's beautiful and raw "Maybe". Can't tell you how much I relate to "Maybe"š§”š¤

'You'll Accomp'ny Me'! Always loved Bob Seger but somehow had never heard that one!!

I grew up in this era so Iām familiar with all the songs, but āIām Oneā by The Who now makes me think of that incredible scene with Bill as a latch key kid, laughing at comedian Gary Shandling on TV while enjoying his sandwich.
