    This was such a timely post. Prophetic, even.

    I’ve had Rush in my record collection since the ‘70s. “A Farewell To Kings” was always a favorite. RIP Neil Peart.

    That's one. There is one more Queen connection with the Marx Brothers. (hint: album title/movie)

    Correct. Both Queen albums were titled after Marx Brother movies of the same name.

    Let's do more albums. That's kind of a lost art these days. Everyone buys or streams singles it seems.

    Boz Scaggs / men's tie + farenheight = [album]

    Ooh, I like it!

    I agree. Used to be you listened to the whole album. Got to know each track and how each song fit. Each song was just one part of the whole. No more than you'd watch just part of a movie, you didn't listen to a part of the album. You'd drop the needle, listen to a side, and then flip the record over. Checking out the album cover artwork the whole time, of course.

    Correct.

    I feel the same way about albums. There are so many gems you stumble across on albums. Some songs are hit single material and others are album tracks. That doesn't make one better than the other, just different.

    Ok, 5 songs with one theme.I will give you the artists.

    2.Kellie Pickler
    3.Nancy Sinatra

    1.Sailor
    2.Kellie Pickler -- Red High Heels
    3.Nancy Sinatra -- These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
    4.Honor Blackman & Patrick MacNee
    5.Lindi Ortega

    Nancy Sinatra almost has to be correct. If footwear is the theme then Red High Heels could work for Kellie Pickler.

    I only ever heard of two of these artists. I was aware of Kellie Pickler, but could not name one song of hers. I did know she came from American Idol. And, of course, Nancy Sinatra. I knew her (daughter of Frank) and her hit from the 1960s.
    Never heard of the other three, or their songs.

    Let's assume that's correct. Here are three acts with a theme connecting the song titles.

    1. Elton John
    2. Chicago
    3. Bay City Rollers
