Have you heard of them? Have you heard about the way they absolutely own the 1980s? We hope so, because they, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/frederickplaylist.com\/2017\/01\/16\/celebrity-playlist-cheshis-ashli-cheshire\/\">Cheshi<\/a>, Bad Seed Rising and Stitch Early, are going to be taking the Weinberg Center stage on Thursday, Feb. 16, as part of the Frederick Music Showcase Vol. 3. Bill Blythe, who plays bass for the band, was recently kind enough to offer up his own Celebrity Playlist regarding some of his all-time favorite songs. So, well, we thought we\u2019d share. There&#8217;s some great stuff in here, friends, including a &#8220;Breaking Bad&#8221; reference. So, rock it. Roll it.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.weinbergcenter.org\/13666\/frederick-playlist\/\">And don\u2019t forget: Tickets for the Showcase are currently $10<\/a>. If you wait until the night of the show, that number goes up. Hey, friends. Just looking out for you. And you. And you. And you. OK. Anyway. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Badginer: \u201dBaby Blue\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This band was amazing. You\u2019ll never hear another voice like Pete Ham. The story of Badfinger is tragic (look it up sometime). This song was produced by Todd Rundgren. I especially love the harmonies with Tom Evans. Plus, it was the last song played on \u201cBreaking Bad.\u201d Awesome!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C53QAuOoSgc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Paul McCartney &amp; Wings: \u201cBaby I\u2019m Amazed\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I love the Beatles and I really liked Paul McCartney &amp; Wings. This version of the song (live) is my favorite. It\u2019s raw and pure and live! Plus, I think the drums sound incredible. The guitar is spot on. Great song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qDPg8c7QwJI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Christina Perri: \u201cA Thousand Years\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Forget the fact that this is from the \u201cTwilight\u201d movies; this is such a beautiful song. My wife would listen to this song all of the time and every time I hear it, it reminds me of her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rtOvBOTyX00?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Matchbox Twenty: \u201cLong Day\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This was the first single off their debut album. I loved it from the start. Incredible vocals from Rob Thomas. It wasn\u2019t a huge success on the radio, but it is, hands down, my favorite MB20 song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lgoz3XkW1UM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Eagles: \u201cNew Kid In Town\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This song reminds me of my childhood. I remember my dad listening to this on his record player. What can I say about the Eagles \u2026 one of the greatest bands ever. Great song, amazing vocals and some of the best musicians on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/60bzbfHP1Hs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Danny Wilson: \u201cMary\u2019s Prayer\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It wouldn\u2019t be fair if I didn\u2019t have any songs from the \u201880s in this list! This song came out in 1987. This wasn\u2019t a huge hit, but whenever I heard it on the radio, I stopped and listened. The vocals are beautiful and when Guys In Thin Ties plays this song, John Coghill does an amazing job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7hqgC3W9GUI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Giant: \u201cI\u2019m A Believer\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This song came out in 1989. The band was made up of studio musicians. They rocked! Giant probably came out about two years too late. At the time, hair bands and \u201880s rock was starting to change. Dan Huff, the guitarist, is one of the most underrated guitar players ever &#8211; and he\u2019s a great singer!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w9VfQNJDQRk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Buggles: \u201cVideo Killed The Radio Star\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ok, another \u201880s tune. Or, well, not exactly. The song was released in 1979 and later, was the first video to be played on MTV (Aug. 1, 1981). MTV was a huge musical influence on me. It was my after-school babysitter! This tune reminds of all the songs ever played on MTV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZPEwluSNzgc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Hollies: \u201cCarrie Anne\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Such a cool song. The hook is awesome. I\u2019m a big fan of Graham Nash\u2019s high harmonies. It\u2019s a simple song and sometimes simple is good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j5LWJ1tiZX4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Beatles: \u201cA Day In The Life\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Someone asked me what my favorite Beatles song was once. Not hard for me: \u201cA Day In The Life.\u201d I like songs with several different parts, and I love John Lennon\u2019s vocals on this song. The Beatles were influential on me and many of my favorite bands growing up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/usNsCeOV4GM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guys In Thin Ties.
