Afternoon Rock Hall of Greatness Part IV

See parts 1 – III for descriptive back info.

Note the inclusion of Jefferson Starship, not an Afternoon Rock band in motive or sound, while “Miracles” was one of the best songs of the type. This happened.

1. Robert John “Sad Eyes” (1979)
2. Dan Hill “Sometimes When We Touch” (1977)
3. Hall and Oates “She’s Gone” (1973, re-released as a hit in 1975)
4. Fleetwood Mac “Hypnotized” (1973)
5. Dave Mason “We Just Disagree” (1977)
6. Jefferson Airplane “Miracles” (1975)
7. The Dirt Band “American Dream” (1979)
8. Bob Welch “Ebony Eyes” (1977) Fun fact: Almost too hard for Afternoon Rock. Approaches the sister genre of Babysitter Rock.
9.Al Stewart “Year of the Cat” (1976)
10. 10CC “I’m Not In Love” (1975) Fun fact: Probably the greatest Afternoon Rock song. The king. The tent pole moment.

1. Agent Orange “It’s Up To You And Me” (1984)
2. Dinosaur Jr. “Lose” (1987)
3. Descendents “Clean Sheets” (1987)
4. Agent Orange “Bit The Hand That Feeds, Pt 2” (1984)
5. Moving Targets “The Other Side” (1986)
6. Husker Du “Chartered Trips” (1984)
7. Moving Targets “Always Calling” (1986)
8. Soul Asylum “Sometime To Return” (1988)
9. Descendents “Good Good Things” (1985)
10. Replacements “We’re Coming Out” (1984)

Have At It.
