9. “Danke Schoen,” by Wayne Newton (1963): Before he was the king of Vegas, Newton played rockabilly right here in the Valley.

8. “She's a Beauty,” by The Tubes (1983): The song is great, but everybody remembers the racy video. Members of The Tubes played as The Beans and The Red, White and Blues Band in Phoenix before splitting town for San Francisco in the early ’70s.

7. “Chuck E.'s In Love,” by Ricki Lee Jones (1979): She bounced around as a teen, but Ricki Lee Jones lived in Phoenix for a few years before finding fame in L.A., and this tune won her the best new artist Grammy in 1980.

6. “I'm Not Lisa,” by Jessi Colter (1975): Phoenix native Jessi Colter was married to Duane Eddy before heading to Nashville, where she became the only female member of the Outlaw Country movement in the ’70s, marrying the ultimate Outlaw, Waylon Jennings.

5. “School's Out,” by Alice Cooper (1972): Longtime Phoenix resident Alice Cooper gives us the ultimate “last day of school” anthem, where summer is here and the next educational cycle seems so far away.

4. “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?” by Waylon Jennings (1975): Jennings, a Phoenix resident in the ’60s and a Chandler resident in his final years, wrote the ultimate Nashville kiss-off song at the height of his ’70s popularity. Nobody told Waylon what to do, and this tune is all Waylon.

3. “Rhiannon,” by Stevie Nicks (1975): Phoenix native Stevie Nicks’ tune about white witchcraft, from her first album with Fleetwood Mac, ushers in themes that the gypsy would deliver on her solo records.

2. “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” by Glen Campbell (1967): Country music legend Campbell has lived in Phoenix for nearly 25 years — though he's now moving to Malibu — and his reading of this Jimmy Webb song is one of his signature tunes.

1. “El Paso,” by Marty Robbins (1959): Glendale native Marty Robbins went from playing The Hayloft on the Valley's west side to Nashville stardom. This story song, complete with flamenco guitar work, is the finest gunfighter ballad ever written and the best tune ever penned by an Arizonan.
