TODAY’S ADDITION TO THE LIST:

#49 -- "Ventura Highway" by America ... Click Here

This one has long been a great "road trip song" for me. You can't beat the patriotic band name! Whenever I hear it, I am brought right back to the second night of my first long road trip away from home, making my west through the darkness along I-94 in southern Wisconsin.

Only two songs so far and it's becoming clear we have similar tastes in music.

My special memory of the "Ventura Highway" song (which has 8 plays in my iTunes since 2013) is hearing it in my car as I drove up I-5 towards LA from Camp Pendleton back in the early 1980s. Just seemed like the perfect song to play while driving on a California highway.

Another easy listening hit from the same era that is a guilty pleasure of mine is "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" by Lobo. Now that song really puts the "soft" into soft rock! Both songs have a bit of "Yacht Rock" feel to them but that's a subject for another post.

My #49 most played song happens to be "Dreams" by The Cranberries.

That would be a good tune to add to my library. Making a note of it. Their tune “Horse With No Name” is already there, with its haunting lyrics and semi-melody. I hated it when it came out, then age did its thing.

Hehe. My #49 is “Call on Me” by Work of Art.

(They’re a Euro band that does 80’s style stuff, I like it, but then I’m an 80’s kid, so go figure)
