6. Sloop John B - The Beach Boys
11. Aquarius (Let The Sun Shine In) - The Fifth Dimension
15. Mrs. Brown - Herman’s Hermits
16. Blowin In The Wind - The Kingston Trio (I’m betting…)

Hmm… 7 out of 20 sucks. There’s something to be said for being first, though.
Btw, I’m stealing this.

Simon & Garfunkel. I love Cecilia although my fave is really The Sound of Silence.
I bet there are some songs by Toad The Wet Sprocket & The Beatles in there since I know they are some of your favourite bands but I don’t know which one they are. LOL
5 is Stevie Wonder. The other ones I knew were already answered by JT.

I like this game but seeing as how we were listening to your iPod in the car today, I have an unfair advantage and cannot participate. Plus, I’m sitting right next to you on the couch. I LOVE Thanksgiving!

J.T., I’m saddened that you of all people didn’t get 3, 7, 12, and 20. That would have put you at 11 of 20, which is over half. Tsk tsk!
My “Blowin’ in the Wind” was actually Joan Baez; good guess though, as I have Kingston’s Trio on my ‘pod as well.
Gen, there are indeed a Toad and 2 Beatles…

2. Shed a little light - james taylor
13. Ballad of John & Yoko - Beatles
19. While my guitar gently weeps - beatles
20. Open Letter - Caedmon’s Call

Who listens to the lyrics, anyways?!?
Never the less, I feel #14 is by our eclectic friends at Cake. I think that one’s called Frank Sinatra, but you never know with those guys.
When I read #3 I think of Jason Mraz, but I can’t think of a song (and I’m not sure you like him anyhow).
I like the game, though. Cheers,
Scott

#14 is indeed Frank Sinatra by Cake. #3 is not Jason Mraz, although there IS a Jason Mraz song on the list.

#8 is Mr A to Z himself, “You and I Both Love” which is like, my favorite favorite song of his. *sniff*

#9 - Hang on Little Tomato by Pink Martini.
