I asked and you delivered, in style. Thank you for all that contributed. Here are the songs to make it to the playlist and a little comment about each one. They are sorted chronologically based on response.
1. Graceland – Paul Simon. [Emmily] Beautiful selection from one of the most gifted songwriters ever.
2. Take It Easy – The Eagles. [Debi] The epitome of road trip songs.
3. Intro/3 Strange Days – School of Fish. [Phil] This is one of my all time faves and totally conjures memories of Tucson. Awesome pick! (I added Intro...wouldn't be the same without it.)
4. Performance – MC SpandX. [Mike] Truly, the most inventive and creative selection. I can't believe I haven't run across this before.
5. Comfort Eagle – Cake. [Mike] One can never go wrong with Cake but this reminds me of our trip to the hat tournament in Salt Lake City, playing beer pong in the hotel, and streaking the fields. Good times.
6. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) – Beyonce. [Po Ling] I take this was a jest selection but given that I went dancing with you one time maybe you were trying to evoke the memories of that night.
7. Are You Gonna Be My Girl – Jet. [Po Ling] Rockin' till the cows come home.
8. La Camisa Negra – Juanes. [Ray] Wholly unexpected style but a cool song nonetheless. Don't worry about the lyrics, as I would have never known it was about unrequited love. All I think I know is that it's about a black shirt.
9. That's Not My Name – The Ting Tings. [Diane] While I've heard some stuff from them I never heard this. Good pick.
10. I've Been Delivered – The Wallflowers. [Diane] Again, I know The Wallflowers from their first album but never heard this song.
11. The Engine Driver – The Decemberists. [Amii] The Decemberists are cool because they play Ultimate. This song is cool because you selected it. However, I hope the lyrics are not directed at me. I've only listened to it once but it sounded somewhat extreme.
12. Heart In A Cage – The Strokes. [Amii] The Strokes' debut was phenomenal but I shied away from their more recent stuff. Thanks for forcing my hand.
13. Say What You Will – Fastway. [Kimberly] Oh, yeah! High school all over again.
14. Sideways – Dierks Bentley. [Leigh] Dammit, Leigh. Why are you trying to ruin my anti-country street cred? I take solace in the fact the some people on youtube.com don't think this is a country song.
15. Coma – Guns'N'Roses. [Phil] I thought you blew your wad with 3 Strange Days but this has no comparison. Kill the lights and jump in the papasan. No, he's asleep.
16. Free And Easy – Dierks Bentley. [Leigh] Alright. I get it. Sometimes the GAC can produce some good tunes.
17. Small Bones Small Bodies – Future Of The Left. [Nick] Sorry, bro, I like their debut better.
18. Around The Block Again – Drivin'N'Cryin'. [Doug H.] I would have never heard of these guys if it wasn't for you. Brilliant pick.
19. In The Future – Bushwalla. [Ami] Killer addition to my repertoire.
