“101 Songs for Abnormals” Playlist by Richard F. Yates

Over seven hours of interesting music for abnormal heads (or soles…) This playlist spans the genres from techno to punk to classic rock, funky house to goth and post-punk, alternative and northwest grunge to jazz to novelty songs. Let it flow, let it wash over you, let it play in the background while you do housework or paint a psychedelic masterpiece or dance a freaky cha-cha! The Song Remains Insane!!!

In addition, there are some incredibly difficult to find cuts in this mix, too. The David Diebold cover of “White Rabbit” took me TWENTY FIVE YEARS to find! And there’s more rarities to discover!!!
