Badlands -- Bruce Springsteen I can't stand that asshole these days. I don't know when he became a card carrying leftist turd, but he did. However he had 2 great albums in the late 70s/early 80s about life in middle America. This is is one of the better rock songs ever. It was released as a single, but never cracked the top 40.
WOLD -- Harry Chapin
By all accounts, Harry Chapin was a good man. I have no idea what his political or religious beliefs were but I think he honestly wanted to help others.
His biggest hit was "Cats in the Cradle," which is okay if you like that kind of maudlin crap. He also had the hit "Taxi," and that was also okay, although I wasn't impressed by the reference to drug use.
WOLD was a wonderful song. It told the story of a man who wanted to get involved in the radio business, and after many years found it wasn't what he might have expected.
London Town -- Paul McCartney
Most of the stuff Paul McCartney recorded after leaving the Beatles was garbage. I mean they did quite well on the charts, but they were still garbage. This was his best other than "My Brave Face."
