Music Cup Round 4 - 'Country' Songs

Moving swiftly onto Round 4 and it's songs that have countries/cities/places in the title.

As usual pick your 3 fave tracks from the following:

Eton Rifles - The Jam
Turning Japanese - The Vapours
Straight Outta Compton - NWA
Streets of Philidelphia - Bruce Springstreen
American Pie - Don McLean
Hotel California - The Eagles
American Idiot - Green Day
Munich - Editors
London Calling - The Clash
Viva Las Vegas - Elvis Presley
Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynid
Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis
Tulsa - Eric Clapton
Hollywood Whore - PapaRoach
Australia - Manic Street Preachers
America - Razorlight

That's a strong round, no idea who to vote for! There are about 8 songs that I could easily choose and for the first time I don't know if I'll be voting for my choice.

Kudos to whoever chose NWA.

I voted for it.

Whoa, what a selection! I'm struggling here, don't reckon my choice is going to make much headway ahead of some of these tracks. On the plus side, I didn't select Razorlight...

Cannot believe that after 28 votes not 1 has gone for Californication (though saying that I didn't vote for it!)

Not long to go now on this round so thought it best to reveal the next round...

Songs from your year of birth!

As usual PM me your choices.

Oh bloody hell

That's me stuffed again!

Beethoven's 5th for you!

Hey I'm not QUITE that old!

PM on its way to you now

Can't believe that greenday got that many votes??!!?!! they used to be so cool but American Idiot was their death rattle. Ruined all their past work by selling out

It was a huge huge track though that everyone knows so it might not be everyone's first choice but will have made it in a lot of people's top 3.

The above lists show that us oldies have no chance in the next round!

Completely disagree!!!

What's currently joint 2nd this round?

Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynid and London's Burning by the Clash.

What was the top two last round?

Friday I'm in Love by the Cure and Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin.

Round before?

All along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix

First round?

Lola by the Kinks.

Hardly the youngster vote cleaning up each round!
