Hello again retro music fans. Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 20, 25, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).
It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday December 02ND 2007:
- “How It Feels (To Be With You)” – Eleventyseven
- “Staring At The Light” – The Wedding
- “Illuminate” – Project 86
- “The Minor Prophets” – Haste The Day
- “Game On” – Disciple
15 years ago this week Project 86 out of the “OC” – Orange County California – were in my Top 3 with the hard rockin’ “Illuminate”. It’s all about lighting up the darkness – the shadows of night that include wicked culture, dark deeds, mass inferno, covert crimes, closet portal – “your skeletons are burning eternal.”
Project 86 have been rockin’ for the past 26 years. They are currently working on their upcoming double studio album – “OMNI”. Back in the late-2000s they hit my chart with 7 radio songs – “Something We Can’t Be” (# 14 in 2006), “Evil (A Chorus Of Resistance)” (# 14 in 2007), “Illuminate” (# 2 in 2007), “Molotov” (# 8 in 2008), “Put Your Lips To The TV” (# 1 in 2008), “Dark Angel Dragnet” (# 12 in 2009), and “The Butcher” (# 15 in 2009).
Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 20 years ago to December 2002. It’s when an old Dino song from 1954 became an #EDM house smash.
It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going retro with me !
