Walking Soundtrack # 10
1) Under My Car - Mazzy Star: "Saw you laying under my car" - that's the first line of the song and one of the only lines I can understand. A lazy, sleepy song, but I like it, so it's good for walking.
2) See Me, Feel Me - The Who: Part of the big finale to "Tommy" with lots of repetition, which helps keep a good pace.
3) The Time of My Life - David Cook: Last year's American Idol winner, David Cook released, or was forced to release, this song, which is really just a string of cliches set to music. What can I say, it was free.
4) Dedicated Follower of Fashion - The Kinks: This is one of those weird '60s songs that you just can't help liking.
5) Viva Las Vegas - Elvis Presley: Umm, not much to say about this one.
6) Boy Who Wouldn't How Corn - Alison Krauss & Union Station: This is a great piece of Americana music, with a great story and some wonderful instrumental work by Union Station.
7) Fallen Angel - John Entwistle: A song about how society tears down the idols it sets up, I think. Being politically-minded, it makes you wonder how far our next president will fall in the public mind over the next few years.
8) Goin' Mobile - The Who: This is one of the best of the obscure Who songs, from Who's Next.
9) Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen: Possibly the ultimate power ballad of the '80s, this song helped cement Van Halen's reclassification from Heavy Metal to Hard Rock. Any band that released this kind of song can't be considered heavy metal, can it?
10) Who Are You - Stereophonics: A cover of what has become the Who's theme song. The vocals are a bit strained, but otherwise it's not a bad effort.
11) I Shall Not be Moved - Johnny Cash: This hymn was appropriated by the civil rights movement, and it's politicization has caused it to lose some of its strength. Still, not a bad song.
