Advanced Walk: Songs That Stroll Through Time
By Chris Lawhorn
Page 1 of 1
Briskly walk through 40 years -- in order. Kicking off with the Wall of Sound that made Phil Spector famous, this list meanders through the '70s and rocks into the '80s. There’s a brief respite in the middle, courtesy of Sandra Dee and Danny Zuko. And the whole span can be tied up in the pensive collaboration between Johnny Cash and U2. Hyperbole aside, it's a beautiful song that touches on large themes. Plus, it’s called "The Wanderer." Get it? It's the perfect way to cool down.
