I have really been listening to the classics a lot this week, I really enjoy them way too much. Last night at the gym I had my classic radio station cranking and it ended up being a really good workout.
I find listening to the classics really lifts my mood, it's like you have take a happy pill or something.
Tonight is Saturday night and that means the Saturday night jukebox will be playing, so I will be tuning in while I'm at the gym. There isn't much better than training in the gym and listening to the jukebox, well except for riding my moto ;)

I always love listening to the jukebox as it reminds me of when I was a kid. I used to love spending a Saturday night in my room listening to the jukebox and either drawing or building models.
I was pretty big on model building kits when I was a kid, they were a really great way to pass the time. It was also really cool to take something which was made up of a heap of small pieces, then glue it all together and paint it up to look real. When I tune in to the jukebox it reminds me of those fun times.
I used to be quite good at drawing when I was younger too, I could copy a picture really well and almost perfectly but I stopped drawing when I was old enough to go out and party.

The classics never die, but they can be forgotten and sometimes your introduced to something you absolutely love.
I have had some interesting feed back in this series.
Here is some feedback I received from Hive account@mightpossibly

That's some nice songs!
I've never listened to a single David Bowie song before - these were some solid recommendations.

I have also received lots of great feed back, and interesting trivia from Hive account@mgood who is very knowledgeable on the classics I love.

The group, Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, wasn't very well known but they came out with a few hits.
I'm surprised they play their songs "down under".

Here is some feed back from Hive account@cheese4ead about my Pink Floyd post.

You know you won my vote at P!! 😂
Meddle was my choice for my most influential album in my challenge but Wish You Were Here is my favourite closely followed by Dark side of the moon.
The Wall freaks me out and Roger Waters lyrics are a little depressing. I still think its special though and I remember being transfixed on the artwork too. Comfortably Numb is technically an 80's track too!! Run Like Hell is a cool live track.
Awesome. Thanks Hive account@thevillan

So lets continue on with my series, I want to share another couple of my favorite tracks.

☠️ Blue Swede ☠️

Blue Swede are another one of those groups who I class as one hit wonders, I'm really not a fan of their stuff all bar one song.
Blue Swede are a band form Sweeden which had a rather short career but in that time they did produce on great song for us, which brought them international success.
From Wikipedia:

The band consisted of Anders Berglund (piano), Björn Skifs (lead vocals), Bosse Liljedahl (bass), Hinke Ekestubbe (saxophone), Jan Guldbäck (drums), Michael Areklew (guitar) and Tommy Berglund (trumpet). They disbanded after Skifs decided to embark on his solo career.

Hooked on a Feeling

This track from Blue Swede is one of the classics and one of my favorite tracks.
This is the song that brought Blue Swede international success, featuring on the hottest 100 charts all over the world.
Got to love the start of this track, it's really out there.
I really love the way that they have sung this song, his voice sounds really good.
I love the lyrics too, they really make you feel good. It always puts me in a really happy mood when this song comes on when I'm listening to the radio.

☠️ Matthew Wilder ☠️

I also class Matthew Wilder as another one of those one hit wonders, I really don't get into his music but there is the one song which I really enjoy.
Matthew Wilder is a singer from America who was born in New York.
Matthew Wilder had much more success as a music producer than he did as a singer, he has done production work for some of the big names in the music industry.
From Wikipedia:

Wilder's debut album, I Don't Speak the Language (1983), reached #49 on the Billboard 200, fueled by "Break My Stride". Wilder had some continued success with the single "The Kid's American", which reached #33 in 1984, but the single failed to match the success of "Break My Stride". Wilder's second album, Bouncin' Off the Walls (1984), failed to gain much momentum — even with an innovative music video for the single "Bouncin' Off the Walls", with only the title track making the charts (No. 52), and was subsequently deemed a commercial failure.

Break My Stride

I do love this song from Matthew Wilder.
I actually thought a girl sung it originally until I wanted to add it to my youtube playlist, when I realised it wasn't a woman singing.
I like this song because it reminds me of my childhood, this song I used to hear on the radio.
I also like this song because it has a real feel good vibe to it. I remember hearing this song come on the radio not long after I started working again, things were looking up in life and this song really had a lot in common with how I felt after rebuilding my life after my accident. I was feeling good and on cloud 9.

I have added these tracks into Villans Saturday Night jukebox Mix for you all :)
