Randy Newman - Sail Away.....we will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston bay.

Hope Randy's feeling better - the show in Austin was cancelled last weekend.....rescheduled for June 1 pending a full recovery.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

hah... someone knows their music.

I live for getting my kicks.. and I can check off another one.. voting Robbie frickin Dupree on a prog rock website.

Great great song... Clap

I haven't heard that in ...what maybe 30 years.. and still have every word to that song committed to memory. I listened to it that much back in the day.

I also like that James Gang track....saw them do it live once at college.

Great tune, but it appears on the "Coming" disc, so not listed here as I try not to duplicate songs.

Beatles and Tull for me.

I voted for Offspring, it's not one of my favourite Punk bands but I used to listen to them.

Yep, that's another vote for the Chili Pepper's `Give It Away'.

I still have vivid, traumatizing memories of playing it in my room as a teenager and my Dad coming into the room dancing in the most wonky, uncoolest bopping fashion to it!

Cue a horrified `Dad, that is SOOOOO uncool!!' reaction from me!

Heh, now I find it kind of surreal and brilliant...and thinking back, his moves were actually far better than I gave him credit for at the time!

Missing:

One Day I'll Fly Away - Randy Crawford

Laugh and Walk Away - The Shirts

Never mind. Even if these were included, I would still give my vote to The Beatles.

You're making me choose between two of my favourite songs - Van Halen and The Beatles.
