5. -10 for not giving the rest of us a chance.

:rofl:

[bluesbassman]

16. -100 for citing "W* B***t T**s C**y"

That "song" should never be spoken of in public again. It was the great heaping pile of dog poo that marked the nadir of ineptitude that had become of what was once a great band.

[jobycom]

17. Meh. I liked it.

I didn't love and it's not on my Zune, mind you. But what else did we have to listen to? Rick Astley? Grading on the curve, it sucked less than others.

19. That list speaks for itself. nt

[Gormy Cuss]

10. I find myself humming "Little Boxes" every time I'm on 101 heading for SFO

:hi:

[david13]

13. I always got "little boxes" on the 80/580 just north of Berkeley. I don't

know why, maybe because my mother or my cousin told me that was where it was originally written or about that area, or something?

[Tobin S.]

3. Journey "City by the Bay"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElrHsX3ysIk

[argyl]

4. San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native) - Fever Tree

[KamaAina]

6. Driving In Chinatown -- Stephen Ashman and the ZaSu Pitts Memorial Orchestra

could the ZPMO possibly have been from anywhere else?!

Gotta love the way they simulate all the horns honking!

[Bennyboy]

15. I used to be the biggest ZPMO fan!

Keta Bill! God that band was so goooood/.

[MrScorpio]

7. I left my spleen in El Segundo

[trof]

8. California Here I Come, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

"Open up your Golden Gate"

[Swede]

9. San Franciscan Nights Eric Burdon & The Animals

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u7q81Krih0

[Amerigo Vespucci]

12. That was my first pick

Burdon was really a riddle wrapped in an enigma, eh?

Starts off with a classic British Blues band, crosses the pond, becomes a hippie, then starts a funk-soul group, then finds a guy who plays like Hendrix and builds his own little Band 'o' Gypsys...

:toast:

11. Kid Charlemagne

14. Misssion In The Rain...Jerry Garcia Band (and once the Grateful Dead)

20. Ridgetop - Jesse Collin Young

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1ILFZAR1vg

Well, I live on a ridgetop
And, Lord knows, I like it just fine
Where it's windy and foggy
And quiet most all the time

Yeah, my lawn is pine needles
And my driveway is old funky dirt
And my front pathway markers
Are pieces of granite and chert

Now, my taxes are high
But I don't believe it's a sin
I've got hundred foot pine trees
That just love to dance in the wind

And a yard full of bushes
That turn into pie in July
Between blue jays and hoot owls
I've got twenty-four hour singing sky

Now, when I built my house
I cut six trees to clear out the land
But there's thirty or more left
And you know that they're gonna stand

It's a squirrel sanctuary
They think this woods is their home
And as long as I'm here
I'll make sure people leave us all alone

Yes, the hill that I live on is steep
And the road's full of ruts
And the people who live in the flatlands
Think we folks are nuts

But the ruts in my road and the curves
Keep the tourists at bay
And it's lonesome and peaceful
And you know I like it that way

Now, I work in the city
I think my job is a gas
And I know it's good for me
To travel and get off my ass

But the nervous parts of each trip
Is the Golden Gate Bridge
And the road like a snake
That will lead me back home to my ridge

Ah, I live on a ridgetop
Yes, I live on a ridgetop
And I like it
And I like it . . .

21. Blood Sweat &Tears - Ride Captain Ride

Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay,
Rolled off of their ship and here's what they had to say.
"We're calling everyone to ride along to another shore,
Where we can laugh our lives away and be free once more."

Ride, captain ride on your mystery ship,
Be amazed at the friends you've got there on your trip.
Ride, captain ride on your mystery ship,
Be aware of the things others just might have missed
