Top 10 Earth Day Songs

(UPDATED) Today is Earth Day. 

“There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew,” wrote Marshall McLuhan way back in 1964.  As with most things, music serves to remind us of the importance of each of us being better stewards. Here are my favorite Earth Day songs:

1. Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) – Marvin Gaye
2. Big Yellow Taxi – Joni Mitchell
3. Paradise – John Prine
4. The Pretenders – My City Was Gone   
5. Eddie Vedder – Society
6. Nature's Way – Spirit
7. If A Tree Falls – Bruce Cockburn
8. Jack Johnson – Gone 
9. Neil Young – Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)
10. R.E.M. – I Remember California
