Time of your life...
Tomorrow night it's songs that mention times of the day, so I suppose Bill Haley and The Comets are a shoo in? Get the thinking caps on then and see what else springs to mind.

Adam,
Gilbert O'Sullivan is playing at GRCH on Sunday. Thing-Fish is desperately trying to unload his Jethro Tull tickets for the same evening.
I'll allow him to buy me a J.D. at the interval. That'll console him. (No pun intended).

I'm pretty sure Bryan wants specific times; e.g. Midnight - High Noon - Four in the Morning

Dusk Till Dawn - Ladyhawke comes from an album our Katie bought for me a while back, which has really growm on me. Interesting.
Midnight Rider - Gregg Allman
this is a deep fried southern soul version of the Allman Brothers classic - but very different, truly beautiful and something I'd love the GIO audience to hear.From the album '20th Century masters'.
Six O'Clock - Ringo Starr
After the Beatles split Ringo was always going to struggle so the others wrote stuff for his first album and performed on it, thus continuing a Beatles tradition of having one 'Ringo' nuumber on each album. This is very obviously Paul's song on which Linda and Paul do backing vocals with Macca doing an improvised 'bonkers' ending, well worth hearing in it's own right. Delightful,pro - feminist, anthemic chorus of the kind he can't seem to write these days. Well worth hearing.
25 or 6 to Four - Chicago
From the period before they became obsessed with slushy love songs, comes this upbeat jazz rock classic : good show opener, imho.
There, done it, and it took me a while, but I'd be proud to hear any of these on GIO - particularly the Gregg Allman 'Midnight Rider' which I find revelatory. Well done Adam, sparked an otherwisde waning interest - decent of you to stick up for me. Appreciated.
And now, the boudoir beckons (but I'd better do the dishes first...)

'Two Sleepy People' - Hoagy Carmichael's version is sweet but Fats Waller's version is good too.

However, the track that really goes big on clock times is
* ABBA - The Day Before You Came
