Against the WindBob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
The title track from the 1980 album “Against the Wind.” A six-member rock band formed in 1974.
With a mid-tempo rhythm that flows like a gentle, drifting breeze and a melody that carries the scent of nostalgic American rock, it’s a soothing song that puts your mind at ease.
Winds Of ChangeJefferson Starship
The title track from the 1982 album Winds of Change.
A five-piece rock band that made a fresh start in 1974 with members of Jefferson Airplane.
Although it has a somewhat dark and gloomy feel, the solid, well-structured rock sound is really cool to listen to.
The Wind Cries MaryThe Jimi Hendrix Experience
A single released in 1967.
A four-piece rock band formed in London in 1966.
This song is a ballad written about Kathy Etchingham, who was Jimi Hendrix’s girlfriend at the time.
His almost tossed-off vocal delivery adds a great flavor and gives the track a cool finish.
Reap the Wild WindUltravox
Included on the 1982 album Quartet.
A four-piece rock band from London formed in 1973.
The techno-style digital sound crafted by synthesizers and the mid-tempo rhythms strongly emphasize that they were a band of the New Wave era.
It might sound a bit dated now, but it’s still a good song.
Feels Like The First TimeForeigner
A single released in 1977 by the rock band Foreigner.
It was their first song to become a hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

The chorus is a soulful number that has propelled fighting men of every generation.
Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)Journey
