The "Ultimate Road Trip" Collection.. I'm looking for your help!


Like many middle-aged adolescents, every year, me and some buddies make a golf road trip during the summer - and last year, for whatever reason, they became obsessed with listening to "Cowboy" by Kid Rock, like, over and over and over again.

This year, the thought has arisen that perhaps I will dissuade them from doing this again by putting together the "Ultimate Road Trip" CD - a collection of the perfect 20 songs with which to resurrect our lost youth.

So - I'm reaching out to the Mog world for assistance - here's the plan. I will make my list, and every blogger will have the choice of cutting up to 5 songs, and replacing them with their own - keeping in mind the theme of this CD - so please, no Culture Club or Joy Division.. the concept being that after (hopefully) much input, I will end up with the "Ultimate Road Trip CD".

Here's the List:

Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
Renegade – Styx
Runnin’ With the Devil – Van Halen
Southern Girls – Cheap Trick
Piece of My Heart – Sammy Hagar
Jet Airliner – Steve Miller
867-5309/Jenny – Tommy Tutone
When I Come Around – Green Day
I’m a Believer – Smashmouth (Monkeys)
Fool in the Rain – Led Zeppelin
Come Together – The Beatles
Hurts So Good – John Cougar Melloncamp
Tush – ZZ Top
My Best Friend’s Girl – The Cars
Evil Woman – Electric Light Orchestra
Running Down a Dream – Tom Petty
Is She Really Going Out With Him – Joe Jackson
Night Moves – Bob Seger
Hotel California – The Eagles
Life’s Been Good – Joe Walsh

I got a few for you... Ramblin Man by Allman Brothers, Free Bird by Lynryd Syknyrd, Roadhouse Blues by the Doors. You should lose Renegade and When I Come Around...
Good call on Ramblin Man.. and I did have Free Bird in the first draft, but wanted to spread the artists around.. problem is you've given me three new songs and only two cuts.. so I'm going to use editorial license, and I'm taking Free Bird and Ramblin Man - you're first two choices.. and I tend to agree with the Lester Bangs character in "Almost Famous" that the Doors were "drunken buffoons, masquerading as poets".. so, I'm going to leave out Roadhouse Blues..

So - list as of now:

Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ramblin Man - Allman Brothers
Runnin’ With the Devil – Van Halen
Southern Girls – Cheap Trick
Piece of My Heart – Sammy Hagar
Jet Airliner – Steve Miller
867-5309/Jenny – Tommy Tutone
Free Bird - Lynryd Syknyrd
I’m a Believer – Smashmouth (Monkeys)
Fool in the Rain – Led Zeppelin
Come Together – The Beatles
Hurts So Good – John Cougar Melloncamp
Tush – ZZ Top
My Best Friend’s Girl – The Cars
Evil Woman – Electric Light Orchestra
Running Down a Dream – Tom Petty
Is She Really Going Out With Him – Joe Jackson
Night Moves – Bob Seger
Hotel California – The Eagles
Life’s Been Good – Joe Walsh

Ok - but, to add it we need to make a cut - what goes if You Don't Know gets added?
8675309

So - New List:
