People of a certain age will look at these titles and see some of the music of their lives. Abilene, Angela Jones, A Rose and a Baby Ruth, Bad News, Blue Train, Break My Mind, Ebony Eyes, Google Eye, The Great Snowman, I Wanna Live, Indian Reservation, Norman, Paper Tiger, Sad Movies (Make Me Cry), Sittin' in the Balcony, Talk Back Trembling Lips, Tobacco Road, Turn Me On, and Waterloo.
