This is the kind of music that I need for driving.

Sax: deadheat 'tween Deacon Blues and FM...
Cowbell: New Frontier
Penny whistle: Where Are You Going?
bassline (with "four-to-the-floor" beat Charley Watts picked up by visiting discos): Miss You
Underrated bassline (Tina Weymouth) Take Me to the River
Opera outside her genre (Susanna Rigacci): Ecstasy of Gold
...perhaps looking better here:
Dead heat Personal fave religious/spiritual 'tween (except for the damn birds): Alleluia and the much maligned- but excellent here- Celine Dion. The Gospel is summed transcendentally at 3:15-25.
Unique, distinctive voice (Mike McDonald) It Keeps You Runnin
Oldtimers (Frank): It Was a Very Good Year
Oldtimers honorable mention (Dukes of September) Lowdown (Boz rules):
Thomas Newman film scores: esp. Castaway, Shawshank.
And the winner is: a dead heat between Deacon Blues and New Frontier. Prefer studio to live versions, and Steely Dan and Fagen in particular were studio perfectionists.

Two long ones from Dire Straits. One about his home town in the UK the other about America. Going to see Mark Knopfler in Birmingham at end of May for what he has said is his final tour. Can't believe he is 69.

Don't care if you hate them odds are we aren't road trippin anyway and we're probably both good with that......
50 years Apeman....Damn I'm getting old.

Apeman's a good song. I remember watching PBS The Loud Family (anyone remember?) and one of the sons plunked out an ok acoustic version.

IMO - its a triple dead heat between Deacon Blues, FM, and Bakers Street, with Careless Whispers completing the superfecta.
I would tab Jerry Rafferty's Bakers Street as my favorite song. Great guitar and sax, but its a cruising song - you can't dance to it. Can say the same thing for Stairway to Heaven.

Yes, Baker Street. For some reason, when we took our firstborn to be baptized, Father played Baker Street, rather than begin with catechesis or a homiletic. I've made a bit of progress, but still working on why 25 years later.
For me, Pete Christlieb shows much more range in Deacon Blues than the Baker Street, roughly 8 note solo repeated, as well as the context of my favored jazz rock/swing dance vs. Rafferty's more slow dance setting. I've read, perhaps wrongly that the saxophonist did some improvising within Baker Street? Not sure Fagen would have put up with that- studio perfectionists and all.
