Was Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers doing backup vocals and piano on that. Love that song too.

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Very good!

How about “Runnin’ Down a Dream”

Or, “Radar Love”?

[Phoenix61]

12. Radar Love!!!!nt

[debm55]

14. Great song when driving I added it to my list when changed the OP to include songs.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Both

Love the latter, as I mention below.
I like Runnin' so much I covered it myself.

[Cracklin Charlie]

46. I think Tom Petty may have been a genius.

The opening of “Runnin” has to be one of the best starts ever.

[debm55]

56. Tom Petty was great. His duet with Stevie Nicks is one of my all time favorites

[ProfessorGAC]

58. He Certainly Had A Ton Of Hits

I do Need To Know & American Girl as solo acoustic pieces.
I'm a big fan as well.
My version of Runnin' is slightly slower, the arrangement is different & all my guitar parts differ.
I was paying homage, not doing an impression. But, it's such a good song I just had to do it.

[Aviation Pro]

2. And She Was

From the brilliant, national treasure The Talking Heads.

[Raven123]

5. Beat me. Great group

[mucifer]

13. I love "Nothing but flowers''

the song is so funny!!

[ProfessorGAC]

32. That's A Good One

We covered that. It was among our signature tunes. We played it pretty much the whole 19 years.

[happybird]

73. Yes!

This is one of my very favorites for in the car:

I’ve probably made an ass of myself at stoplights, jamming out on my air drums and singing, but you can’t just stop the groove like that. The intro is magic, too.

[Raven123]

3. Wild Wild Life by the Talking Heads

Actually, just about anything by the Taking Heads

[ProfessorGAC]

33. You'd Have Loved Our Band

Over our 19 years, we covered:
Psycho Killer
Take Me To The River
Life During Wartime
Wild Life
And She Was
Stay Up Late
Girlfriend Is Better
Love For Sale
This Must Be The Place
Once In A Lifetime, and
Burning Down The House
There were almost always 2 of their songs per set.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. I Saw The Light - Rundgren

And, Radar Love is one of those songs that make reflexively reach for the volume knob. Can't listen to that one quiet.

[Jrose]

31. "Jump" - Van Halen

Great workout music

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Back When That Was New...

...just to toss me a bone & Give a little wow factor, I played both solos, guitar & keys, on that song.
While I played the guitar lead, the guitar player just played low growling notes on the Oberheim.
Took me over a week to get the guitar solo right. Took me a minute to get the synth solo down. Obviously, I was better on keys than guitar at that point.

[debm55]

37. Good one

[happybird]

38. A few

42. I miss LP record art!

Just seeing those old covers brings back memories. In these days of streaming, we've lost that.

[debm55]

43. Agree, some of the art work on the albums were in themselves works of art.

[electric_blue68]

44. "Roam" The B-52'S. For the Music/Singing not so much the words - "Everybody Wants to Rule The World"

Tears 4 Fears..

Whenever I hear the first notes/voices of either song ~
my spirit picks up.
I feel like I'm walking, or traveling about on a fine Spring, or Sumner day! 🥰 ☀️🌱🌳🌷🌿🌳🌹🌸💮🌳🌺


If humans had flexible, and longer animal type ears - "mine" would turn in the direction where those songs were coming from. 😄🥰

[Jrose]

45. Steppin' Out' - Joe Jackson

64. Love Here Comes the Sun written by George.

[bottomofthehill]

62. It is funny how kindred we are in spirit.

I have a somewhat high stress job and live my life on the edge of chaos at times. There are days that I will listen to music to amp me up and face the day, my wife(always my rock and protector) will often send me a song to calm me down, as she knows that bringing too much energy too early is not always a good thing. More than a few of the songs she has sent to calm me are on this list. She knows if I am listening to Dropkick Murphys, AC/DC or anything to amp me, that she needs to get to me fast. She is amazing.

[debm55]

63. I love Dropkick Murphys--husband is from Boston. Yes, we have are calming songs, and songs to get us

going. Music unites us all.

[happybird]

65. That reminds me of when I had court several years ago

It was an hour and a half drive away and I was alone and terrified and uncertain of what would happen. Court is scary.
The whole ride down I cranked Rage Against the Machine to pump me up and give me confidence. Upon arrival, I realized that may have been a miscalculation. I was so amped and ready to throw down that I made myself sit in the car for another 20 minutes listening to Pink Floyd to mellow out a bit before going into the courthouse.

[bottomofthehill]

66. That's is in a nutshell.

You were able to self regulate. Thankfully, my wife gets me and plays the roll. My ability to self regulate is not as good as her ability to regulate.
