Title: TWGMTR...the alternate 70's/80's version
Post by: GhostyTMRS on June 25, 2012, 05:34:53 PM
Just for a goof I compiled a "companion" CD to That's Why God Made The Radio using songs that I felt had the same feel as their 2012 counterparts. I kept it strictly 70's and 80's based and included one Brian Wilson solo cut for the sake of matching the flow of TWGMTR. It's not perfect but it sounds pretty good right after listening to the 2012 album. Any suggestions or swaps? Remember, the idea here is to make a 70's/80/s version that sounds similar to That's Why God Made The Radio (for example, I chose "Johnny Carson" in place of "The Private Life Of Bill And Sue" because both songs deal with TV):

1. One For The Boys
2. Goin' On
3. It's Ok
4. Kona Coast
5. Johnny Carson
6. Our Sweet Love
7. Everyone's In Love With You
8. Wontcha Come Out Tonight
9. Marcella
10. Baby Blue
11. Winds Of Change
12. Till I Die

Well done, chap!  That flows just like TWGMTR, I just can't stand Johnny Carson but I can see why you used it.
