“G” Part 1 of 2

G.Love & Special Sauce - “This Ain’t Living” from Feel the Power and “Peace, Love, Happiness” from Superhero Brother.

Gaelic Storm - Entire Bring Yer Wellies album. Irish music. I’m sure these songs are sung in Irish pubs, I just know it. They probably dance to some of them as well.

The Game - “How We Do” from The Documentary. 50 Cent is associated with this act.

The Gap Band - “You Dropped a Bomb on Me” from ESPN Presents Stadium Anthems: Music For The Fans.

Garbage - “Androgyny” from Beautiful Garbage and “Stupid Girl” from 1997 Grammy Nominees.

Garth Brooks - “The Dance” from his self-titled album, “Wrapped Up in You” from Scarecrow, complete albums: Double Live, No Fences, Ropin; the Wind, and The Ultimate Hits.

Gary Glitter - “Rock & Roll, Part II” from Glitter album. More commonly referred to as the ‘hey’ song that is played at just about every sports arena at least in North America.

Gary Hoey - Entire The Ho! Ho! Hoey! The Complete Collection and Money albums. Gary Hoey is unique in that he is an instrumental guitar player. He doesn’t sing in any of his songs. The Christmas album is even more unique because Hoey covers a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional holiday music, but it is strictly guitar only.

Gary Portnay - “Where Everyone Knows Your Name” ~ Cheers TV show theme song.

The Gathering Field - “Lost in America” from Fan-demonium.

Gavin DeGraw - “I’m in Love With a Girl” from self-titled and complete Chariot and Free albums.

GenX - “Dancin’ with Myself” from Kiss Me Deadly. A classic ‘80s hit.

Genesis - Complete Invisible Touch and We Can’t Dance albums. I love Phil Collins and his group, Genesis.

Geoff Moore - Entire albums: Ev-O-Lu-Tion, A Friend Like U, self-titled, Home Run, and Threads. I had the privilege of working with Geoff when he came to the Denver area. I provided security for his concert and also worked the merchandise tables. Great guy and great musician.

George Harrison - “Set on You” from Cloud Nine and complete Brainwashed album. I am a huge Beatles fan and still collect solo stuff. Brainwashed was released in 2002. It was his last studio album recorded before he passed away in 2001.

George Strait - “Run” from The Road Less Traveled. One of the very select few country ballads I love.

George Thorngood - “Who Do You Love?” from Move It On Over.

Gerardo - “Rice Suave” from Mo’Ritmo. One-hit wonder.

Gershon Kingsley - “Popcorn” from Music to Moog By. A synthesized instrumental piece that children from 1-99 enjoy.

Ghoti Hook - Various songs from the following three albums: Banana Man, Songs We Didn’t Write, and Two Years to Never. Christian pop punk band from Fairfax, Virginia.

Gin Blossoms - “Competition Smile”, “I Found Out About You”, “Not Only Numb”, and “Follow You Down” from Congratulations . . .I'm Sorry and “Allison Road” and “Hey Jealousy” from New Miserable Experience. The Gin Blossoms are a great pop rock band and these songs are their best known ones and ones that I could listen to in any mood.

Ginuwine - “Differences” from The Life album and “Hell Yeah” from The Senior.

Gloria Stefan - “Turn the Beat Around” from Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me and “Reach” from 1997 Grammy Nominees. She also appears on Superstar Christmas singing “Christmas Through Your Eyes”.

Gloria Gaynor - “I Will Survive” from Love Tracks. This song has been covered or featured throughout history. My favorite is Cake’s version. Other notable covers: Diana Ross and R.E.M. Weird Al did a parody entitled, “I Will Comply”.

Gloria Loring - “The Facts of Life” TV show theme song.

Gnarls Barkley - “Crazy” from St. Elsewhere.
