How funny that some of these songs hit us differently.
"Benny and the Jets" was playing on the radio when I was taking my college boyfriend "home" to meet my parents for the first time....good memory for me, thus I like the song.
Same good memory for America's "Horse with no Name". I was a 20 year old student on a university ship going around the world (this was not a cruise, more like a slave ship) with only a juke box. Someone's boyfriend sent this tape to one of our few mail stops. It was the only new music we had for four months. We played it night and day. I still like it, because of the wonderful memories it brings back.
(Not to say that these are great songs).
While I'm here I'll add another stinker for me.
"My Sharona" or however you spell it. What the heck was that about??? Editing to say I just googled it. Oh my, x-rated lyrics, I had no idea Sharona was a person...
