Now I'm not old enough to know when the band America was top of the charts but this track is pretty timeless. Sure maybe you recognize it from Janet Jackson's "Someone to Call My Lover" like I did, but there's quite a few other subtle head nods to this overlooked gem. For one, the song has some interesting lyrics, including "purple rain," which Prince apparently co-opted later for his own use. And then Jesse "The Body" Ventura -- former WWF wrestling star and governor of Minnesota -- may have taken his wrestling name from the song title. I guess if you're gonna name your band after a whole country, you better make some influential classics.
