Music lovers, here's another music thread you are bound to like. I thought about this idea the other day for a trivia question in the trivia comp I was in. For some reason, USA states or cities/towns seem to roll nicely in songs. I wondered what would be the most liked. So I'll start this thread and after a few weeks list up the most popular.

My initial list of top 10 songs with artist (prolly list another fer sure and certain). These are not in any particular order.



  2. Alabahma - Neil Young
  3. California Dreaming - Mammas and the Pappas
  4. Ohio - Crosby Stills Nash and Young
  5. Wheelin' West Virginia - Neil Sedaka
  6. Florida - Modest Mouse
  7. Massachusetts - The Bee Gees
  8. San Francisco - Scott McKenzie
  9. Arkansas Grass - Axiom
  10. Hawaii - The Beach Boys
  11. Georgia on my mind - Ray Charles

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Wal

Kansas City -- Wilbert Harrison

The Battle of New Orleans -- Johnny Horton

Georgia on My Mind -- Ray Charles

Freddie 'Boom Boom" Cannon sang Tallahassee Lassie.

And that reminds me, he also sang "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans."

I don't feel like going back and checking all the replies, but I don't think "Amarillo By Morning" by George Strait was listed and also "Anybody Going To San Antone" by Charlie Pride.

Jeez, I am SOoooo disappointed in the troops here! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame on all o' ya! One of the best harmonica solos in the his-stor-ee of the biz...Steve Miller's 'Livin' in the USA'. Wha's the matter wit you guys????? Dion's 'King of the Streets of New York', if you haven't heard it, do it. Dion'd kick the poop outta Snoop Bowsy Wows.
