10 Songs for Independence Day

With July 4th coming up fast, I decided to put together a list of songs I expect to hear over the weekend – on the radio and during firework shows. Funny enough, as I was picking my favorites out, I discovered this list from last year that shows what each state's favorite July 4th song is. Only 2 of the songs on the list made the cut for my top 10.

1. John Mellencamp – "Little Pink Houses"

2. Bruce Springsteen – "Born in the USA" (Amazon)

3. Neil Diamond – "They're Coming to America"

4. John Mellencamp – "R.O.C.K in the USA"

5. Don McLean – "American Pie" (Amazon)

6. Martina McBride – "Independence Day" (Amazon)

7. Ray Charles – "America The Beautiful" (Amazon)

8. Jimi Hendrix – "Star Spangled Banner" (Amazon)

9. Whitney Houston – "Star Spangled Banner" (Amazon)

10. Celine Dion – "God Bless America" (Amazon)
