It's easier for me to count how many I DONT know. I'll count them up. I bet less than 10.
Some I might know if I heard them but don’t instantly recognize by the name.
“ I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain”
I don’t know how or why since it would have been ten plus years after the fact but this song was in heavy rotation in my household when I was a kid. I guess my dad was a fan.

It was a huge hit. Those of us who thought we were cool always mocked America. I appreciate them more now.
Horse With No Name got some play in a Breaking Bad episode.

Izzy likes Song Sung Blue because somehow we landed on the Hot Butter version on Spotify one day. I think it was in the kids section. So, I actually listened to a couple of these tracks recently because Izzy wanted to hear the original Song Sung Blue and then the algo took over after it was done.
My spotify is very eclectic. I was listening to Neil Diamond a couple days ago and Social Distortion yesterday. And @supercyclone had me listening to Weird Al tracks on youtube.

My daughter liked Horse With No Name as a kid.

It's a fun song.
I appreciate that Without You by Harry Nilsson is on this list. Most people know that song now due to the Mariah Carey version but the original is better in my opinion.

You know, that was originally a Badfinger song. When Nilson's came out, nobody paid attention to the original. I'm a Big Badfinger fan. Day after Day is on the list.
