As always, good luck!
#2 – Simon & Garfunkel, “Sounds of Silence”
#3 – Cranberries, “I Can’t Be With You”
#5 – Velvet Underground, “The Gift”
#8 – Bruce Springsteen, “Ghost of Tom Joad”
The only one I knew was #2, and Eric beat me to it.
Man, I pretty much suck at this.
1. White, Discussion by Live
4. Crap, it’s a Janis Joplin song but for the life of me I can’t think of the title…
It just took me 5 tries to post – word verification sucks!
It’s a necessary evil to keep out the comment spam. So far, all the guesses have been correct. Well, the Springsteen song was somebody else’s cover, but still.
9 – ani, tis of thee
-marisa
Well, I don’t mind the word verification until they distort the letters and they all run together and I obviously can tell what they are.
Maybe that means I’m getting old…
