Ragtop Day Opinion

Please help me prove a point. I got into an arguement with another parrothead, who apparently thinks he is the be all and end all when it comes to Buffett, over the song Ragtop Day. I would just like everyone's personal opinion about the song and whether they like or not.

It's a good song, I always enjoy it when I hear it.....but it's not one I "seek out" to listen to......

Saying it's one of my favorites is how I would rank it compared to all of Jimmy's songs.
Ragtop day is really great in concert when Jimmy starts calling out those names of towns as he's heading down to the concert venue.
I like the beat and that country twang like all the songs on Riddles in the Sand. (I used to crank up Ragtop Day leaving school on Fridays, especially. I drove a Mustang convertible from 1988 until 2000.)

Fair to middlin'. IMO there are lots of better songs, but I won't fast forward it when it comes on.

Listening to it right now as I relisten to the Mohegan Show from last year.

3: There are much better, and much worse songs.

Like so many of Jimmy's songs, it all depends on what I'm doing and what sort of moody I want to be in. I love this song when I'm driving down the highway with the top down.

Yup. (although I rated it a 4 because the melody has been stuck in my head for a couple of days.)
I think you'll find that PH opinions run the gamut on this song.

Pretty good song, but not my favorite on Riddles In The Sand. That album is definately one of my favorites though. It was sort of like he was making one last foray into the country music world.
