Description
70 years ago this month, George Orwell's "1984" was first published. So let's give George an ol' Rock & Roll salute by looking at one of the many songs inspired by his book. Sure, I could've done David Bowie's "1984", but that would be too easy. I'm a big Utopia fan, so this is a good excuse to take a look at another one of their tracks. It's Utopia in dystopia!
For more 1984-inspired songs, check out Eurythmics “Ministry of Love”, Radiohead's “2+2=5”, or "Standards" by The Jam, just to name a few.

Paul McCartney & Wings - "Daytime Nighttime Suffering": Let's start things off with one of my favorite McCartney songs - a tune most people haven't heard but should've been a big hit. This song has everything I love about McCartney-- a terrific lead vocal, great bass part, an arrangement that keeps evolving and cool production. Enjoy! by I'm In Love With That Song Podcast
