Was 24 Jim Croce? I thought it was “Sunshine on My Shoulders” by John Denver.
Next!
Come on down and meet your maker.
gossamer is Threadkiller right on #30 ? I’d guess Nothing But Flowers by the Talking Heads.
Damn, screwed up the numbers and the title.
Try again:
Come on down and meet your maker.
Title to 24 - “Annie’s Song”, John Denver.
30 is definitely Big Yellow Taxi, by Joni Mitchell (and most recently Counting Crows.)
I’m heading out and I thought I’d leave a few more.
Walk without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
wouldn’t lie to you baby, it’s mainly a physical thing.
People pissin’ on the stairs, you know they just don’t
I think 14 is In The Club by 50 Cent.
Out of college, money spent

Okay, there are a number of solutions:
Ellen Cherry , correct on numbers 21 and 22.
gossamer is correct on number 23.
Morgainelf your first guess was correct on number 24. It is “Sunshine on my Shoulders” by John Denver. Neither Denver’s “Annie’s Song,” nor anything by Jim Croce.
Threadkiller , you were close on your guess for number 8. Here’s another clue–number 8 was done by the same artist who did “Time Passages.”
Yes. I’ve had it in my head for a couple of days now. Joni Mitchell, I think.

Number 31–I think it’s “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window,” by the Beatles.

Whoops, no, I meant Wolfian’s revised number 36: “Out of college, money spent” is the Beatles’ “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window.”
Thanks for the tips:
8. Year of the cat Al Stewart

In My Own Defense Dept: Lyrics from Nothing but Flowers by The Talking Heads:
There was a shopping mall
Now it’s all covered with flowers
you’ve got it, you’ve got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
Ahem.
And a big welcome to gossamer !

Threadkiller , yes, you’re correct with Al Stewart’s “Year of the Cat.” Way to go! I was beginning to wonder if anybody would get it.
And let me also welcome gossamer !

**Whoops, no, I meant Wolfian’s revised number 36: “Out of college, money spent” is the Beatles’ “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window.” **
Or is it “Golden Slumbers”? I have a hell of a time with the song divisions on that album.
Morgainelf ’s #31 is “The Stand” by The Alarm.
In my personal opinion, using google is cheating. You’ve gotta strain your brain, scrinch up your face and say: “Wait a minute…I know this…uh…um…”
We are far too young and clever. Come On Eileen
I wanna peirce my tongue. It doesn’t hurt, it feels Flagpole Sitta
I have sworn every time thoughts of you would leave Red Red Wine
hear your name calling me out. Out from the barrio. Smooth
Tell all the boys or keep it low? Try Again
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up My Sharona
Can’t be too late, the boss is so demanding. Never too Much
…running like a watercolor in the rain (Year of the Cat)
Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice Hotel California
Dark of the moon on the sixth of June… Convoy
A fantabulous night to make romance Moondance
With a word she can get what she came for Stairway to Heaven
She said ‘I know you and you cannot sing.’ The Queen is Dead
Caught up in the conflict between his brain and his In The Club
sings the songs that remind him of the good Tubthumping
girls is on the way where the Bacardi at
“I’ll be over at ten” you told me time and Build Me Up Buttercup
Just what the truth is, I can’t say anymore Nights in White Satin
…makin’ love to his tonic and gin. Piano Man
Singing my life with his words Killing Me Softly with His Song
Throw away the cars and the bars and the wars Joy to the World
Look all around, there’s nothing but blue sky I Can See Clearly Now
…give me no reasons, give me alibis Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue
If I had a day that I could give you Sunshine on my Shoulders
Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
Where was I? I forgot the point that I was
Strumming my six string on my front Margaritaville
Lisa-go-Blind It’s not a question of your personality or style
Aslan2 Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo, when… Mr Jones
Yet there’s still this appeal that
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot (Big Yellow Taxi)

Life’s the same, it’s all inside you.
Slow down, dang it! I can’t type that fast!
And # 36 is You Never Give Me Your Money rather than Bathroom Window .
And the fact that both #31 entries sound like Dune references is just too funny.
