Oh man, I know number 7...I hear it all the time on my country station, and I sing along all the time...but I can't for the life of me think of the singer or the song title. Now I'm going to be thinking about this all day :P I think the title's something like "She thinks she needs me" or something. Is it Buddy Jewel singing?

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Yes, but by Andy Griggs. Give yourself more credit, girl! ;)

[narnian-dreamer.livejournal.com]

17 is "To Sir with Love," right?

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[antonia-east.livejournal.com]

15 is Joni Mitchell, 'Circle Game'

*wanders off singing 'we're captive on a carousel of time'

[ahavah]

16 - Kiss the Flame, Jewel

Ok, I'll admit - I recognized the lyrics but couldn't remember the name and googled. *blush* Does that count?

Of course. :)

Oops, that was me, AbN.

17 is "To Sir With Love," but I can't remember who sang it, other than Karen on Will and Grace.

#15 is "The Circle Game" by Jony Mitchel (sp?)

these are fun :)

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

Hi, sorry for jumping in--I found you through a friends' flist, and this looked like fun.

But I just have to say, #9 is "Diamonds and Rust," by Joan Baez and I adore you for using that!!! :) I know some of the others, but I had to comment on that. I love that song.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

You're the second person on LJ I know of who even knows who Joan Baez is.

Can I friend you?

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Joan Baez. My favorite song has to be "In the Quiet Morning" (if that's the actual name), the one about Janis Joplin. :)

And you certainly may! I'll friend you back, even. New friends are fun! :)

...I know none of these.

12. "At the Beginning" - Richard Marx. Yeah, you gotta know that one :)

[jamc91.livejournal.com]

Um. *cough* No.

My taste in music is limited, although I'll usually give most things a try.
