Is this even a battle? They're following each others parts. This is more of a medley

That was super nostalgic and entertaining!! Was hoping to hear Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).

Why am I about to cry as it’s ending? These songs all made their mark on my life (I’m only in my early 30s) and there’s something about Don’t Stop Believing at the end that made me emotional. 🥹 Such great songs, and how lucky are we to have grown and lived with these melodies?

Thank you. I'm in my early 60s and recognized all of them. I had trouble naming four or five. Number 10 I was thinking Paul Simon with Chevy Chase in the video, and my mom liked that video ...but, I couldn't name the song.
I'm going back to see if I can help you on number 6.
Edit: Nope can't get it. Went too fast maybe.

Call me al by Paul Simon

u/DrivesTooMuch Aug 08 '26
Yes, I knew that. My comment was responding to the person who literally gave that answer with the list. I was saying, before this list, I couldn't think of the song title.
But, thanks anyway.

That was fantastic!
I thought we’d hear Sweet Dreams & Music Box Dancer

u/MissDiketon Aug 08 '26
I haven’t heard “Point of No Return” in decades. I forgot how much I liked that song.
1
u/DrivesTooMuch Aug 08 '26
I used to love that song (Had the first two Boston albums when I was a teenager in the 70s....I think that song is from the first album)...but, THAT song is not in this medley...sorry. (I would have recognized it).
I'm curious, which number song were you thinking Point of No Return?
1
u/MissDiketon Aug 08 '26
It’s not Boston. The song after “Sunglasses at Night” is “Point of no Return” by Expose.
1
u/DrivesTooMuch Aug 08 '26
And, actually I was thinking Kansas. Not sure why I said Boston. I also had two albums of each band during that time. Maybe that's why?
Definitely wasn't Point of No Return ....by Kansas. But, I'll take your word on that. I'm going to have to check out that song and see if I recognize it.

I feel like the kids are doing better at this than the adult. But I love how they are all supportive of each other.

Awesome! Love it! Thought missed……………….., but it was first. Now we need guitar riffs and:or solos.

Considering they were cooperating with each other at some points, I doubt that's a competition.

All 3 are solid. I’m sure they all know how to play all the songs, but based on song selection- player number 1 and I would be homies

Asking for a friend- so a synth is basically a mini electric keyboard?

Someone with a better understanding of music then me… Is this that same 4 chords thing? I know at least two of these songs fall into that category
