Saturday Night Sunday Morning Tunes

by Matt

Here we go again.  I’ve spent the entire week listening to UGK’s “Ridin’ Dirty,” so I don’t have much to add to this discussion.  Instead, in honor of BFD’s sister, I present Top 5 Songs About A Sibling.

5. Holy Water, Big & Rich.

4. Brotherly Love, Keith Whitley and Earl Thomas Conley.

3. Sister Christian, Night Ranger.

2. Daniel, Elton John.

1. Beautiful Brother of Mine, Curtis Mayfield.

Also receiving votes: My Brother’s A Basehead, De La Soul; The Bewlay Brothers, David Bowie; You and Your Sister, This Mortal Coil.

EDIT: Also, consider this your usual “What I’m Listening To” post and feel free to comment accordingly.  Bonus points if you are listening to De La Soul.

    @ Matt: Are these supposed to be songs that are written about siblings or songs that remind us of siblings?

    Well, I fudged it a bit with the Whitley song, but it was supposed to be songs written about siblings.

    Thanks, Matt. Making me tear up on a Sunday morning. Asshole :-) -
    Oh Sister - BobbyD. Yeah, not a big fan when he sings, but I love his poetry.
    Little Sister and Sister Beams - Slobberbone. Still one of the best alt-country bands nobody has heard of. Now the vanilla sounding Drams.
