Song #332: "We Just Disagree"--Dave Mason (1977)

If someone wanted to present the softer rock slice of the kaleidoscope of music found in the 1970's to someone in the year 2070, they should pick this song.

Dave Mason's solo career, from a popularity standpoint, wasn't long and wasn't as great as many others. But he can always stake his claim to an absolute masterpiece of this portion of the rock era.

A simple, yet sad song about the realization of a couple concerning "the end of our love song".

"So let's leave it alone, 'cuz we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy,
There's only you and me and we just disagree."

Heartfelt, powerful, easy to sing along to. All the ingredients for a classic. And now, 39 years later, that's exactly what this song is.
