Pretty Soon There'll Be Nothing Left...-Nilsson
(Nilsson's 1976 release "Sandman" had a lot more good than bad, I think. This is one I love.)
She's Leaving- Ronnie Lane
(If I listen to Ronnie Lane, it's usually "Anymore For Anymore" and "Rough Mix," of course. But I pulled out "See Me" from 1979 last week, and I was pleasantly surprised. Hey, it's Ronnie!)
Woo Se Mama- Paul Weller
(From "A Kind Revolution," an album that left me cold on first listen, but after going back, I started going back again and again. It's a keeper.)
Workingman's Blues #2- Bob Dylan
("I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought/Gonna sleep off the rest of the day/Sometimes no one wants what we've got/Sometimes you can't give it away." This kid Bob knows how to write'em.)
Revolution Rock- Danny Ray
(Many, myself included, first heard this on The Clash's "London Calling." Dig the original.)
Relax- The Who
(Have I mentioned how much I love "The Who Sell Out?")
Bad Year For Rock & Roll- Chuck Prophet
(Ten years on...)
P.S.
There's a pretty cool reggae mix over at the other place, for those interested.

Nice! A lot here I don't know, but that Dylan tune is one of my Top 10 "This Millenium" songs he's written. Love it.
Thanks Sal. Couldn't find Revolution Rock anywhere.
Rough Mix has been a favorite for a long time as have Faces, but it took me until the last few years to get into Ronnie Lane’s solo work. No idea what took me so long, but he left a rich catalog of folk-rock to be savored.

Dang it, I'd already banished your listening blog from my mind, as I struggle to keep up with BW and the other blogs I check. Then you tempt me over with the mention of the reggae comp, and I end up downloading the Fotheringay and Big Youth songs (I stayed on the first page only so as to not get rabbit-holed, and already have Sailor's 'Glass', RH's 'Viva', and Mac's demo with Bonzo). I don't dare bookmark that blog!!!!
