On the way back from visiting my daughters at college in Cincinnati, I stopped at a convenience store for a soda and a newspaper. I easily spotted the drink in the back of the store, but had less success finding a newspaper.

I searched every conceivable place in each of the corridors, but I didn’t find a newspaper or even a shelf. He knew that the papers would eventually become obsolete, but not so soon.

The cashier finally got annoyed by my presence and asked if I needed any help. I asked if they had the Timesto which he looked at his cell phone and rudely said “4:37.”

Noticing our lack of communication, I explained that I was talking about the New York newspaper that was published in almost every city in the country. She reached behind the counter and placed a copy next to the register.

I paid the amount he mumbled, wondering why the store kept the newspapers in such a secure place. If no one reads the newspapers anymore, what was the point of taking extra precautions to prevent them from being stolen?

As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot, Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times, Bad Times” blasted into the classic rock station. I reflected on how the song was really appropriate at the time, seeing that getting the part was good but my search was bad.

Then I started thinking about all the songs with time in the title, but there were too many to consider. Instead, I came up with a list of ten artists who have songs called simply “Time.”

pink floyd

One of the half dozen melodies they make dark side of the moon one of the greatest albums of all time, this “Time” is ushered in by the ominous chimes of a clock.

Hootie and the puffer fish

“I Only Want To Be With You” was a bigger single, but their song with this title makes a nice deep cut of the broken rear window album.

culture club

Boy George is probably better remembered than his ’80s band, which debuted with this song subtitled “Clock of the Heart.”

The Alan Parsons Project

This producer of dark side of the moon He formed his own band, which he branded under this title, “Eye in the Sky” and “Games People Play”.

Creed

Alternative rockers placed this song right after the title track of the full circle album.

David Bowie

this song of aladdin sane reinforces why the late glam rocker left behind such a large and diverse fan base.

edwin star

Another one of his one-word titles has been more enduring, but this tune has a softer tone than the smash hit “War (What Is It Good For?”)

Freddie Mercury

This version of the legendary Queen lead singer appeared on his solo album, Lover of Life, Singer of Songs.

Rod Stewart

From “Maggie May” to “Do you think I’m sexy?” Stewart has recorded a plethora of treasured songs, and his “Time” is among them.
