![]() ![]() ![]() Taking a short breather to record what would become their fourth album, 1976's Leftoverture, frontman Steve Walsh ran into writer’s block. Like many groups in the time period, Kansas toured and recorded relentlessly, supporting three albums that sold modestly despite their growing live following. The now-familiar a capella intro for "Carry On Wayward Son" was the sonic hook that would help Kansas score their first major hit, a feat that was a long time coming for the band. We're guessing record sales from this song have paid for that ticket many times over by now. "I Can't Drive 55," as Hagar has explained many times, was inspired by a real-life incident that found him pulled over for doing 62 late at night on an empty highway in upstate New York. This new level of fame also paved the way for him to join Van Halen in 1985. 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 hurt. 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.īut the Red Rocker really hit a nerve with the message of the record's first single, which – aided by a truly entertaining video – quickly made him a household name and bona-fide arena headliner. Why else to you think Open your heart, Live and Learn, Sonic Heroes, Un-Gratify, His World, Endless Possibilities, (Sonic and the Secret Rings Main Theme), Knight of the wind, and Reach for the stars were in there? Think bro, think.Who better to get our Top 100 Classic Rock Songs list off to a fast start than Sammy Hagar and his anti-speed limit anthem, "I Can't Drive 55?" If you were wondering why Shadow the Hedgehog’s theme was in Generations, it was because SEGA was putting in ALL of the main theme songs into Generations. *Calms mind down* I just needed to let out some steam □ If I were to guess who has the most fans next to Sonic and Tails, I would say Shadow. “SEGA should make a Shadow the Hedgehog 2!” (Many people said this, and i saw SO many likes for those comments.) “I hate Shadow” – (People said this, but oh well, haters gonna hate.) “EEEEEEEKK! I LOVE SHADOW! Thank you so much SEGA! – (Many said this) ” SHADOW IS GAY AS FUCK!! NOW IM NOT GETTING THIS GAME.” – ( 3 people said this, and yes i would remember because it saddened me.) “SHADOW IS IN THIS?!?! NOW I AM GETTING THIS GAME!” – (Many said this) ![]() “OMG SHADOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!” – (Many said this) In the Sonic Generations Dreamcast trailer, at the end when it showed Shadow, so many people in the comments said: If SEGA were to neer show Shadow again, you dont know how many buyers SEGA would lose. The majority chose Shadow, not Tails, not Knuckles, but SHADOW. Why do you think in 2004, an online poll was made for a spin-off game. If you have nothing good to say, then don’t say anything at all.
