Why do YOU hate America?

[Bossy Monkey]

What? What did you think I was talking about? (Full disclosure: in spite of their aggressive insipidity, I kinda liked America. Of course, I was a lot younger then.)

1. I voted for "You Can Do Magic"

but I love love LOVE Sister Goldenhair.

Oh, and "'cuz there ain't no one for ta give ya no pain" is one of the stupidest lyrics ever.

[Arugula Latte]

2. P.S. -- Did they cover Muskrat Love?

I thought it was solely a Captain 'n' Tenille song ...

[Bossy Monkey]

3. Written by Willis Alan Ramsey

First charted for America. Later a megahit, and one of the better indicators of the coming apocalype, for the Captain & Tennille. Here's America's list of hits; the muskrat atrocity only really made the Adult Contemporary chart: http://kingbiscuit.com/america/charts.htm

9. They did indeed-- it's on the "America's Greatest Hits" collection

which, BTW, features cover art by Phil Hartmann (yes, THAT Phil Hartmann, the comedian):

4. Muskrat Love was one of Dave Barry's worst songs ever!

A Horse With No Name made the list as well, but that tune fit perfectly with GTA: San Andreas!

[MsAnthropy]

5. All of the above!

[DelawareValleyDem]

6. Horse with No Name

Stomaching the real Neil Young is difficult enough, we don't need cheap imitiations.

[El Fuego]

7. So many excellent reasons . . .

8. Horse with No Name...

But I like America otherwise.

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. I hate "A Horse with no Name."

I kinda dig "Sister Goldenhair," though. Shhh.

[Bossy Monkey]

11. I bought the album when it came out, which is why I know Woman Tonight

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

12. I love America

Their chord progressions are amazing. Lots of fun to play on guitar.
