American Road Magazine (no, we'd never heard of it either) have just published a list of the best road songs. While that sounds a bit yawn-a-riffic, this list comes in categories. So, we can tell you that America by Simon and Garfunkel is the 'Best Song About Riding a Bus'. And here I was thinking The Wheel On The Bus (go round and round).
The best song about a U.S. highway is, not surprisingly, Route 66 by Nat King Cole.
The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, or whatever he calls himself this week, just missed out on Best Song About Parking. His Little Red Corvette was beaten by Meat Loaf and Paradise By The Dashboard Light.
As it's a list of road songs, Locomotion by the singing budgie Kylie Minogue doesn't get a mention. Shame.
