Boogie with Stu from Led Zeppelin's Physical Grafitti album is a good song for cruising down the highway in a 70 Nova with a Pioneer SuperTuner with a cassette player. A 'bag of goodies' may also have been involved.
Here's a good tune from 73 that is also a good headphone tune. Bachman Turner Overdrive Hold Back the Water. The night after I graduated from high school we had a party at an out of the way place along the Mississippi River, and this first album from BTO was played over and over that night. This song always bring backs memories of that party. It was an awesome night.

See previous posts... while we are talking about Fleetwood Mac, and headphone tunes, here's a great headphone tune from Mac's Mirage album. The song is
Eyes of the World.
Someone asked about a song from the 70s with lyrics like dreamers only love you when you're dreaming. That song would probably be Fleetwood Mac's Dreams from the Rumors album.
Steven Tyler checks into rehab for addiction to painkillers. After his fall off a stage at a show in Sturgis in August, where he broke his left shoulder, Tyler became addicted to painkillers. He has now entered rehab for treatment. Tyler, the front man for Aerosmith has exhibited some bizzare behavior this fall, at one point saying he was no longer going to perform with the band but rather start a solo career.
Here is a good clip of Devil Woman, showing some of the 'headphone' effects.

This a rare video of Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, both former members of Guess Who, doing one of Cummings' solo tunes. I really like this song. Stay tuned, there will be more videos of my 'favorites' coming.

Devil Woman

Was doing some headphone time the other night and rediscovered an AWESOME headphone tune. Cliff Richard's Devil Woman. If you have a copy, give it a listen. They did some serious stuff with the mixer board on that tune.
