Classic Rock: Choice Cuts VI

The warmer weather reminds me summer is coming and the official soundtrack to summer when I was a kid was classic rock- usually courtesy of WBAB. The smell of grilled hamburgers, freshly cut grass, and the sounds of “Dream On” wafting over fences and through trees from neighbors’ backyards- this was summer on the Great South Bay in the ‘80s. Classic rock is on life support now- as is commercial radio- but all it takes is some charcoal and classic rock to reignite that summer magic. Here are more of my favorite classic rock songs- including some top shelf AOR. Enjoy- and let there be barbecue!
