Of all the lists so far, this is the one I'm most familiar with. Only 11 songs I don't know. With the limited listening time I have, and all the listening I have to do for the regular Top Ten, I'm going to submit my ten now.

1. La Grange - ZZ Top my favorite ZZ Top song!

2. Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting - Elton John

3. Rocket Man - Elton John

4. Cherry Bomb - John Cougar Mellencamp

5. Don't Worry Baby - The Beach Boys

6. Honky Tonk Women - The Rolling Stones

7. Who'll Stop The Rain - CCR

8. Harden My Heart - Quarterflash

9. Somebody To Love - Jefferson Airplane

10. California Dreaming - The Mamas and The Papas

I've got Elton and JCM on my list, too...different songs, though, which goes to show how many wonderful songs these artist have.

Yeah, I am very familiar with this list, as well. I am so glad you included the full-length version of "Crimson and Clover." I noticed in that video how strong was the resemblance between Tommy James and Leslie Gore. Hmmm, I wonder if both have ever been seen in the same room at the same time before. :/

Green River - Creedence Clearwater Revival

How did I miss that :confused: It should have been kinda high on my list. I really like that one :D It's one of my favorites by CCR.

Sorry CanAm but your list is so good almost all could have been #1's on my list anyway :thumbsup: but I did at least want to give GR a mention
