There are so many…but here's one that I was recently reminded of. The album version is much better but only live performances were available.
Bruce Cockburn-Child of the Wind.

Here's another live version with Mark O'Conner playing with him.

I use to love to play "Going Up The Country" by Canned Heat until the Geiko Insurance commercials ruined it. |

Winston is a product of the 80's. In many respects, so am I. And we are a team effort.

Realistically, the Talking Heads "Road to nowhere" is the most appropriate, but one of the first tracks I played in B.O.B. was Kraftwerk's "Autobahn", an old favorite. Unfortunately with the ambient road noise and POS sound system it is just too subtle for that song to work well.
Yes, I'm the guy who had an FM converter for the AM radio in my '65 Bug rather than fork over the cash for a real radio, so I'm not upgrading anytime soon. _________________ 83.5 WBX 2WD Assuan Brown Westy, B.O.B.
