No. 100: Sammy Hagar, 'I Can't Drive 55' - Top 100 Classic Rock Songs
Nearly a decade of constant touring and increasing record sales -- remember 'Your Love is Driving Me Crazy?' -- had already established Hagar as a rock star prior to the release of his 1984 'VOA' album. But the Red Rocker really hit a nerve with the message of this track, the record's first single, which quickly made him a household name and bona-fide arena headliner, aided by a truly entertaining video. We're not saying Hagar was directly responsible for the late '80s national law changes that allowed states to once again set speed limits higher than 55, but it certainly couldn't have...…Nearly a decade of constant touring and increasing record sales -- remember 'Your Love is Driving Me Crazy?' -- had already established Hagar as a rock star prior to the release of his 1984 'VOA' album.

What Was Dexys Midnight Runners' Second Biggest Hit?
To most of the world, Dexys Midnight Runners are the definition of a one-hit wonder. In reality, however, they achieved significantly more success in their homeland. The British band is best known for their infectious 1982 global chart-topper "Come On Eileen," but between 1979 and 1986 they released eight Top 40 hits in the U.K. "Eileen" wasn't even their first British No. 1 hit. That honor belongs to "Geno," from the Kevin Rowland-fronted group's debut Searching for the Young Soul Rebels. The horn-heavy tribute to '60s and '70s American R&B star Geno Washington reached the top of the...…To most of the world, Dexys Midnight Runners are the definition of a one-hit wonder.
