Rock Survey - Fool for the City (Foghat)

Artist:Foghat
Song:  Fool for the City

Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ieg6iME8muU


Quick Thoughts: This is yet another British rock band that made rock history, having achieved 8 gold records, one platinum and one double platinum record during the 1970's.  With a blues rock sound, Fog Hat offers good feeling rock n' roll, full with electric slide guitar and the type of piano that reminds me of rock from an earlier era.  Released in 1975, Fool for the City was part of their first album that went platinum, along with their most famous song Slow Ride.  

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  951
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List: 30

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
