Top Ten Songs About California
How's it going, TTT? My criteria's rather loose. If it mentions Cali or a location therein, it's cool.The Top Ten
1 Hotel California - The Eagles
It's rated so highly for a reason.
2 California Dreamin' - The Mamas and The Papas
Where I come from, you're lucky if you've got ANY leaves on the trees--brown or not.
3 California Girls - The Beach Boys
I could have easily filled this entire list with Beach Boys songs, but this is the most obvious.
4 Say Goodbye to Hollywood - Billy Joel
NOT the god-awful Eminem ripoff.
5 Going to California - Led Zeppelin
This song means so much to me. It's always been a favorite.
6 L.A. Woman - The Doors
Seems Jim Morrison is also obsessed with a California girl.
7 Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett
8 Breakfast In America - Supertramp
"Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
Hoping it's going to come true…"
9 Californication - The Red Hot Chili Peppers
10 Blue Jay Way - The Beatles
George Harrison wrote this song while sitting in a rental house on LA's Blue Jay Way. A couple years later, Paul Simon wrote "Cecilia" in the same house. Must be some good vibrations in the air.
