Nobody really cares about the technical shit – about how easy “Horse With No Name” is to play, etc. Better songs have gotten by with a lot less.

That said…”Horse With No Name” IS a hokey song, isn't it?

The Roberta Flack song has got to be one of the most gorgeously haunting songs to ever hit #1.

There are worse things about “Horse With No Name” than “…and things” or the non-existent chord progression… How about the utter anemia in the singing? That counts as a vocal melody? “After THREE DAYS i LET the HORSE RUN FREE cause the DESERT had TURNED to SEA?”

I listened to a song with a voice with no soul…
