I was actually thinking about posting something similar with slightly different rules, but then I saw this one from ambyr:

1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle

Without actual thought, I can tell you that #15 is Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," #22 is Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" and #30 is Jeff Beck's "Angel Eyes"

With a little thought, when I'm not so tired, I could probably pick out a couple of others.

[scherzoid]

Yes, yes, and half yes. Right song, wrong artist.

[geminigirl]

Jeff Healey Band.

[scherzoid]

No, but that probably is the most famous version of the song.

I am too slow and sad at the lack of comment editing.

Seriously, have you ever TRIED transcribing Lisa Gerrard?

HAhahahahhcoughcoughhahah. Yes. :)

I only recognize 13 and 15. For covers, I'll guess t.A.T.u and Ben Folds Five. :)

[scherzoid]

Bzzzt! Sorry, try again! :)

[blk]

Fine, fine, since you didn't even give me half credit, 13 is "How Soon is Now." And for my second guess I'll try The Smiths, since that's the original.

[scherzoid]

That works!

t.A.T.u did a cover of "How Soon is Now?" *boggle*

[easy_living]

#18 is Springsteen, "Cover Me", and #29 is one of my favorite Indigo Girls songs, "Power Of Two".

[scherzoid]

Yes, and yes.

[melaniesuzanne]

13 is "How Soon is Now" by Morrisey. I can't remember, though, if it's a solo song or The Smiths.

[scherzoid]

It was The Smiths. But blk beat you by three minutes...

[melaniesuzanne]

And the funny thing is I always thought the first line was "I am the sun and the air..." Took me a moment to figure that one out with the correct words.

[scherzoid]

I actually wasn't sure, until I Googled it to check before posting.
