I forgot to mention that #50 Peter Gabriel made my still-favorite-after-all-these-years music video. Sledgehammer.

America had a lot of great songs and "Ventura Highway" is one of them. Other favorites of mine include "Tin Man" and "Sister Golden Hair". Very underrated band. Even if they are a staple on "soft rock" radio stations!
My #44 song is a rather obscure hit from the summer of 1979.
Night - Hot Summer Nights (1979)
I turned 17 that summer and that song will always remind me of borrowing my father's car, a baby blue Chrysler Newport, and crusing up and down the beach on hot summer nights with the windows down. The smell of salt air and fried clams (from the local clam shacks) wafting through the windows. So here is my list so far...
- #50 - Jack's Mannequin - The Lights And Buzz (2005)
- #49 - The Cars - It's All I Can Do (1979)
- #48 - Lobo - Me And You And A Dog Named Boo (1971)
- #47 - Zach Bryan - Oklahoma Smokeshow (2022)
- #46 - Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky (1970)
- #45 - Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (1989)
- #44 - Night - Hot Summer Nights (1979)
