Indulge me for a moment...

I was looking through my iTunes folder last night and couldn't help noticing how many songs had the word RIDE (or derirative of) in the title, SO... new game people:

List of songs, albums, bands, films from any era with the word RIDE, RODE, RIDING, RIDER in the title.

One at a time please...

I start with

"Ride The Lightning" - Metallica

"Ghost Riders In The Sky", a classic country-western song, done in 1981 by The Outlaws.

But perhaps the most famous (and best) version was by Vaughn Monroe in 1949.

The song was also alternately known as "Riders In The Sky".

The 1973 song "Uneasy Rider", also sometimes known as "The Ballad Of Uneasy Rider", one of Charlie Daniels' earliest hit songs.

The 1970 song "Ride Captain Ride", a one-hit wonder, by Blues Image.

The group's singer, Mike Pinera, went to play for another band in the early 70's, Iron Butterfly, and later played with Alice Cooper.

Mike is still making music though, and has a website (below).
