What song/s make you think

...they don't make 'em like that anymore!

Just heard Deacon Blue's 'When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring)' and heaved a huge sigh of nostalgia 😢

My teen DCs despair of my dedication to 70s/80s music! 😆

Not so much particular songs, but looking back to bands like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and similar, I’m often struck by how varied their catalogue is. Today’s artists seem to have much more of a signature sound.

@EveryKneeShallBow absolutely agree.
Songs used to tell a story.

Don't forget, there were also songs with whistles (not human whistling like Jealous Guy, but blasting a playground whistle, can't think of examples right now). Also drippy songs with even drippier talky bits, like "Never Been To Me." I'm glad they don't make them like that any more!

Yes indeed!
