Collective Wisdom Request - the Ultimate Road Trip CD

Like many middle-aged adolescents, every year, me and some buddies make a golf road trip during the summer - and last year, for whatever reason, they became obsessed with listening to "Cowboy" by Kid Rock, like, over and over and over again.
This year, the thought has arisen that perhaps I will dissuade them from doing this again by putting together the "Ultimate Road Trip" CD - a collection of the perfect 20 songs with which to resurrect our lost youth.
So - I'm reaching out to the Mog world for assistance - here's the plan. I will make my list, and every Mogger will have the choice of cutting up to 5 songs, and replacing them with their own - keeping in mind the theme of this CD - so please, no Culture Club or Joy Division.. the concept being that after (hopefully) much input, I will end up with the "Ultimate Road Trip CD".
Here's the List:
- Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Renegade - Styx
- Runnin' With the Devil - Van Halen
- Southern Girls - Cheap Trick
- Piece of My Heart - Sammy Hagar
- Jet Airliner - Steve Miller
- 867-5309/Jenny - Tommy Tutone
- When I Come Around - Green Day
- I'm a Believer - Smashmouth (Monkeys)
- Fool in the Rain - Led Zeppelin
- Come Together - The Beatles
- Hurts So Good - John Cougar Melloncamp
- Tush - ZZ Top
- My Best Friend's Girl - The Cars
- Evil Woman - Electric Light Orchestra
- Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty
- Is She Really Going Out With Him - Joe Jackson
- Night Moves - Bob Seger
- Hotel California - The Eagles
- Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh

Perfect! Wouldn't change a thing.
Oh OK,
take out Tommy Tutone and put in Hold On, Im Comin'-Sam And Dave
take out Styx and insert Baba o'reilly-The Who
take out Night Moves and insert Low Rider-War
take out Evil Woman and insert Sweet Hitchhiker-Creedence
take out piece of my heart and insert Sweet Emotion-Aerosmith
Oh - man, you're breaking my heart with Night Moves.. but, hey, rules are rules.. so, new list after Cody's Cuts..
I thought I was the only one who liked Fool in the Rain -- we used to crank that sucker in high school.
My condolences for having to listen to Cowboy the whole trip.
OK, so trade Sam and Dave for Night Moves, put night moves back in its old spot and move Low Rider up to number 1..it is a great lead off cut for the mix.
Funoka - toughtest decision was deciding on one Led Zep - narrowed it down to Fool in the Rain, Tangerine and Going to California.. Fool won out..
You've made my day Cody.. ok.. so, new list.. lol..
Hey, this looks like a fun timesuck...don't touch that Cheap Trick now!
Hotel California – The Eagles(I just can't...) with Mountain's- Mississippi Queen
replace Hurts So Good – John Cougar Melloncamp with Elvis Costello - What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding
crop When I Come Around – Green Day and insert Mott the Hoople - All The Way From Memphis
scrub Bob Seger - Night Moves replace w/ Bob Seger - Get Out of Denver (you're making this difficult)
reluctantly remove I’m a Believer – Smashmouth and put in BOC - Don't Fear the Reaper
scot, you are so mean! taking away the Seeger tune the man likes. such a perfectionist. Totally down with changing out the Eagles though. Also Smashmouth for BOC is like trading a high school punter for an all star linebacker.RAWK!
Damn.. everyone beating up on my Night Moves.. but, your BOC suggestion is a good one - we could use more cowbell..lol..
Ok.. so, here goes the most recent effort with scotfree's changes:
Things are really comin' together here..Once the set list is together, can we work on the song order..
LOL.. yes - though Low Rider has the established starting position - subject to any further cuts :)
