Wow, this is an incredible milestone! 100,000,000 MLT experiences. Will have to count the days and hours. Thanks for letting us all know David.

This list wouldn’t be complete without Any Other Day. Still Valentines where I am, and this is perfection. The most beautiful love song, it’s amazing the rich diversity in the album WHY? Reminds me of the magic that will always exist in the world.

And this one, so moving whenever I hear it. Time stands still.

Love these 2 love songs. They capture the timelessness of love. Eternity.

One of my favourite love songs would be this one. Takes me right back to my high school days, reminds me of some girls I had a crush on back then. I thought it was such a moving and romantic song in my young teenage heart. Great topic Tim. 👍

Hi Bud
Thanks for sharing that video. Grace Kelly is very good, and she is not only a remarkable musician the way she improvises, but a good singer too. The drummer is great too. One thing with Jazz, they have some of the finest musicians in the world.
The more I ride this big merry go round, one thing I found music does, is it shows you you don’t know everything and you haven’t experienced nor understand every perspective. Never say never. The universe has conspired to show me, I don’t know everything, and I shouldn’t be so quick to judge others. The universe has a way of turning the scales around.
In my early teens I remember I loved the pop music of the Beach Boys, Beatles, and some of the 60s oldies, but hated my parents classical, couldn’t understand the appeal of Hendricks and all the hard rock and roll, country and jazz were completely foreign, a weird kind of noise etc… But as I grew older, each domino started to fall. The harder rock started sounding good, some of the country music sounded interesting, a friend introduced me to jazz, really got into the hard rockers like AC/DC, Reggae, Celtic, even got into a little rap in my clubbing days (Tone Loc), Punk, New Age etc…then one day classical appeared on my horizon…There is really only good music and bad music, and I like good music.
Didn’t mean to get so deep and philosophical.
One thing that was a bummer in Ricks video is that the use of piano is on the decline in popular music. 😔

Hi Roger
Yeah, I like all the positive implications.
Rock is regaining popularity,
the guitar is becoming more prevalent in new music,
hip hop and the negativity is dying,
and there appears to be more diversity in the music young people are liking.
If all of this implies the younger audience is appreciating the musicianship more in what they listen to, good music could be what they are beginning to crave. Rick mentioned, while it’s still nowhere near the level of creativity of music in the past (60s), a snap shot now of the songs in the charts are getting better with more diversity, and musicianship.
Rock, guitar, diversity, musicianship are all in MLTs wheelhouse. If this trajectory continues, the younger music audience will be ripe for MLT to flourish.

As with all great things, the MLT growth and proliferation across the globe is on an exponential trajectory. 1 to 10M in 8 years, 10M to 100M in 8 years. 100M to 1 Billion I think much quicker as the snow ball gains momentum.

That is awesome news!!! Congratulations Team MLT, what a great milestone. Your music touched, and moved people 100 Million times.🎉🎈✨🎶😂

That’s a catchy song Jurgen, captures the 80s feel really nicely. Nena and Falco made a big splash in the 80s in North America I remember.

Hi Tim
Thanks for posting it. It is a really different version Kiss did, it sounds good, I like it. It is interesting the lyrics are changed and perspective is different, for example the Kiss version goes in a 2nd person perspective, “Felt so happy she almost cried and then she kissed me” versus the Beach Boys version is in the first person perspective that goes “I felt so happy I almost cried, and then I kissed her”. It’s like that throughout. The Beach Boys version feels a little more personal and intimate to me. I’m not sure which version is closer to the Crystals version, but it’s interesting the 1st vs 2nd person perspective gives the song a different feel.
I got into their music a little later in the 80s, after their stage make up days I guess. I liked some of their new music videos they did in the 80s like “Heaven’s On Fire”. Their late 70s “I Was Made For Lovin You” was great too.

Good one Tim, Mona Lisa and Bands version is so sweet and delightful, a real gem. Their magic always shines.

Hi Tim
Those teenage love songs can be really raw and so good. Last Kiss by Pearl Jam is sad indeed at the end. So KISS also did a version of Then I Kissed Her. Curious, will have to look it up.

Hi David
Yeah this song appeared on the very first Beach Boys album I got, and remember it showed being written by someone else. There is a funny story that the record label released the Beach Boys cover without the Beach Boys permission and the Beach Boys were quite irritated at the time, but it turned into a hit for them. The Crystals had some great originals. Da Doo Run Run was another one of theirs covered by Shaun Cassidy I recall. For me the Beach Boys version, is the gold standard, Al Jardine’s vocals really nailed it.
