    I don't even remember how A Pirate Looks at Forty goes, but I've always liked the title

    Come sail away is actually about leaving the planet with aliens

    Cortez the Killer is a sailor song. Not pop though

    Cum Sail Away - @DennisDeYoung
    Put on some "Cum Sail Away" by our? very own @Dennis_DeYoung during the yacht race last night for shits and giggles and got nothing but boos and jeers. The Captain even had the nerve to yell out, "REO Speedwagon sucks". Bunch of no sense of humor knuckleheads I have for friends...

    Also, got into some pre-season Jake Browning hot takes with several of my Doog buddies (one of them went to the Seattle/Emerald Bowl a many years back just to boo Oregon) and they were confident that Jake was going to prove all the doubters wrong and have a monster 2018 season. I laffed and said I hope he has a Heisman worthy season, but I will take "don't fuck it up, game manager".

    Good call. I should've voted for Southern Cross, but would've picked Immigrant Song without a second thought.

    It's a pop rock or rock pole.

    But I was saving this for the history nerd songs bucket. It's certainly got a maritime theme, but I consider it history nerd first, sailor song second.

    Unquestionably Come Sail Away By STYX

    Grew up in the GOM and no doubt the best song of this nature. Played monumental amount of times by many crowds anchored down at the barrier islands or just cruising. I’ve wore at least one CD out…and can still play it over and over. Never gets old…

    Back in the day I thought it could be remixed into an awesome rap song (in the right hands)

    F.O. you Peter Puffer for not including LRB's "Cool Change" in your gay sailor song list.

    And Pirate Looks at 40 is better than 8 of the top 10.

    It's really a toss-up between CSN and Looking Glass, anyway.

    Yeah, yeah about The Edmund Fitzgerald, great song, but reminds me of drowning, not sailing.

    And RIP Gord.

    Well, I contemplated that, and thought it may be. But can’t never tell with y’all.

    Regardless, it’s the best “Sailing” song. Have wore many marine speakers out(not just only that song, but a bunch playing it and STYX…)…
