“Ride” Songs, Vol. 2

Part 2 of 2 of the "Ride" portion of this latest miniseries. Two sets of "Drive" songs will follow. I love these really broad "topics" for posts, because the number of songs to choose from is so much greater, and the overall quality of the songs picked tends to be significantly greater. At least I think so. I may be biased. Enjoy!  ~  JH

“For” Songs, Vol. 1

Here begins a four-part miniseries featuring songs with the words "For" and/or "Against" in their titles. Since "For" is such a common word, my criteria for choosing these songs was that the title of the song had to begin with the word "For." I tried to do the same with the "Against" songs, but found that method too limiting, instead including songs with the word anywhere in their titles. Here's the first half of the "For" songs, and I do hope you enjoy!  ~  JH
