They were both considered heavy for Top 40 AM radio. Back
then I liked both songs about equally when looking at my old
charts. Today I MUCH prefer "Magic Carpet Ride" over "Born
To Be Wild", which I find rather irritating. Either I must be
getting old or my tastes are leaning more to melodic these days,
which I think is the case.
