Let's head to the City of Angels... This is where we will find this legendary rock band.  With seven number-one singles, six Grammys, five American Music Awards, and six number one albums, they were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. This band was ranked No. 75 on the magazine's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Off of their 1972 self-titled debut album...

Jeff's number 7 song is...

Eagles ~ Take It Easy  

"Well, I'm running down the road 

tryin' to loosen my load 

I've got seven women on 

my mind, 

Four that wanna own me, 

Two that wanna stone me, 

One says she's a friend of mine 

Take It easy, take it easy 

Don't let the sound of your own wheels 

drive you crazy 

Lighten up while you still can 

don't even try to understand 

Just find a place to make your stand 

and take it easy"

Let's head to Macon, Georgia! This is where we will find this southern Rock band! According to The Rolling Stone Magazine, they are the 52nd greatest band of all time! Off of their 1973 album "Brothers and Sisters"... Jeff's number 8 song is... The Allman Brothers Band ~ Ramblin' Man

" Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man. My father was a gambler down in Georgia, And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun. And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus Rollin' down highway 41."

Let's head to Georgia! This is where we will find this "grunge" rock band. Call them grunge or alternative, after 7 number one hits, they just rock. Off of their 1994 self titled album... Jeff's number 9 song is... Collective Soul ~ The World I Know

" So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below. And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down. 'Cause it's the world I know. It's the world I know."

sorry for the Interruption (25)

This interruption has been taken over again by my favorite boss Jim. (Yes Jim you will always be my favorite boss!) For this interruption I would like to share some incredible artists who have had songs covered on the blog. Yet have somehow been neglected from all of our lists. So here we go: 1) We had Warren Haynes and Grace Potter cover Fleetwood Mac's Gold Dust Woman, yet no Fleetwood on the blog. Therefore, I would like to share The Chain by the Mac

2) We had Nirvana cover Bowie's The Ma n Who Sold the World yet no David Bowie? Let us correct this injustice with David's classic: Life On Mars
