Friday Music Meme Thing

This week's Top Five on Friday from The Music Memoirs:

Top 5 songs that involve travel.

Icarus II by Kansas
This song is haunting story of a World War II bomber pilot and his crew. Possibly the group's best song since the classic "Point of Know Return" album.

Wolf Creek Pass by C.W. McCall
I've been over Wolf Creek Pass, and it's just about like this song describes. The only difference is that in real life, there is no feed store in downtown Pagosa Springs.

Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf
I chose this song just because it's what Zefram Cochran played when his ship made the first human warp flight in "Star Trek: First Contact." And it was in "Sahara", too. Yeah, I'm a geek.

Red Barchetta by Rush
It's great to be able just to jump in the car and drive. And it would suck to live in a dystopian future where that sort of behavior was considered criminal.

The Mayflower by Jon & Vangelis
What a wonder it is to explore the unknown, to leave the security of everyday life in search of a new land.
