Awesome stuff!!! I can't wait until part two.

Great list.  I had no idea that someone from Jax was a member of the Commodores!

[sheclown]

Thanks for this!!!  How wonderful.

Great list, but I'm pretty sure the Cherry Street mentioned in "Ocean Avenue" is the one in Neptune Beach, not Riverside.

LoL and just when I was looking to go to the beach in Riverside!
But great list though, didn't know half of the Jax connections listed.

This is great!   When do we get part 2???

Somewhat off topic, Josh Turner (pretty big country star) did a song about Jacksonville. Unfortunately it didn't get much airplay.

I was surprised at "If You're Going to San Francisco" only being #31, but then I saw the criteria for the poll. Scott Mackenzie was really just born in Jax...so that makes sense. Doubt there are more than 5-10 songs better or more important than it on the list.

So what are we looking at in the top 10? Ramblin Man, Jessica, Mo Money Mo Problems, Feel So Good, Free Bird, Sweet Home Alabama, Georgia on My Mind, Hit the Road Jack?

Flirting with disaster

Thanks for the love for my first MJ article. CityLife, nice guesses. all of your suggestions could warrant inclusion, I used a couple from Brother Ray and one from Mase just to give the entire 40 a more varied representation. If on merit alone, Allmans, Skynyrd and Ray could've filled the whole list. Thanks for taking the corresponding numbers with a grain of salt, all for fun and conversation.

I expect a lot of southern rock in the top 20!

Maybe some cold, shine down, black kids? Ray Charles? Fantasia? Will be interesting.

Yellowcard has a song about Avondale so cherry st in riverside is conceivable.

First it specifically mentioned the song as "Ocean Avenue", second if you know the song, you'd hv known the lyric was putting your toes in sand on the beach at the end of Cherry Street. Still Riverside?
