Much like our friends George Lucas, Wolfman Jack, Flash Cadillac & The Continental Kids, and even Sha Na Na, we have no problem with nostalgia over here at ATTT HQ. We tread heavily in the music and feelings of the past. How could you not, considering the present and the future? "Where were you in '62?" is the mantra of the film and soundtrack to the film we're reveling in this week. American Graffiti went from a small time labor of love for George Lucas to a worldwide phenomena, helping to propel an obsession with 50's and early 60's culture throughout the 1970s. They weren't all Happy Days, but this music is timeless. Paul & Elizabeth Eisen, aka my beloved parents, are back to help us finish up our countdown of the best songs from the American Graffiti Soundtrack aka the best rock n roll, doo wop and pop music from 1957-1962. Picks 5-1 are featured here in part 2.

Where were you in '62? The magical nostalgic world of the film American Graffiti seems about as close to heaven as one could get. A long night of adventure on the town, with all the cars and all the fun, but especially all of the incredible music. The Great Wolfman Jack provided the soundtrack to that magical world, spinning the best rock n roll, soul, doo wop and pop songs from the years 1957-1962, and lucky us, we get to enjoy it over and over again with the amazing soundtrack. Speaking personally, from the age of about 2-8 I heard this great soundtrack about 200 times, thanks to my folks having it in their record collection, and me insisting they play it over and over again. Lucky me, my parents Elizabeth and Paul Eisen were in LA on vacation and we figured it would be a great time to talk American Graffiti. Here in Top Ten Songs From The American Graffiti Soundtrack Part 1, we unveil picks 10-6 and have a great time looking back. Nostalgic fun.

Just because we 'can' talk about this stuff doesn't mean we 'should' talk about it, but we're gonna anyway. Musicals have come a long way over the years, as has our society, present moment notwithstanding. There are just some narrative subjects, or bits of dialogue or song lyric or casting choices, that you just can't get away with in today's world. We're willing to bet that approximately 0% of the shows we get into in Top Ten Problematic Musicals could be made today. But they are fun to talk about, good or bad. Speaking of fun, ATTT has done the impossible and reunited the Breakfast Cereal Mascot crew to do the dirty work of counting down our favorite Problematic Musicals. Shannon Hurley, Joe Lavelle and Kate Bundy are ready and able to get into some squishy subjects with the appropriate amount of levity. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.

Last week we left our heart there, this week we're going to leave our soul. We love San Francisco! To celebrate the Paris Of The West, aka "The City", we have to count down our favorite songs that reference San Francisco.

We want to congratulate the great David Daskal, for celebrating 10 years of living in the Bay Area. We've been left in the lurch for a long time, but we're glad he's out there and thriving. As tribute, we must present our favorite songs that reference the proverbial City By The Bay. Here in Top Ten Songs That Reference San Francisco Part 1, we're just scratching the surface of our list of great songs that name check the Golden Gate City with picks 10-6. It ain't Frisco, and it ain't San Fran. It's The City, and the awesomeness of San Francisco has inspired some great tunes.
