Let’s add some Johnny:
Give My Love to Rose – Johnny Cash (his 2002 recording, and his last Grammy)
Edit: and is (Ghost) Riders in the Sky disqualified, for the parentheses? If so, dangit, but if not–especially since it’s often spelled without the parentheses–I’d love to make this Willie Nelson/Johnny Cash version my final selection.
Edit 2: I just checked, and the song was in the “begins with a symbol” poll, so I’m guessing it’s disqualified. Dangit.
Gravity Grave - The Verve
Gypsy (Of A Strange And Distant Time) - The Moody Blues
Golden Soldiers - The Sound (got another post-punk lineup for you, MrDibble…)
Ghost Love Score - Nightwish
Going Up - Echo and the Bunnymen
[anyone have any idea why “Going” is lightly shaded pale blue, despite zero formatting tags used here? There, it did it again!]
Go With The Flow- Queens of The Stone Age
Gumbo Variations- Frank Zappa
Going, Going, Gone- Bob Dylan
God of Thunder- Kiss
Georgia Rhythm-Atlanta Rhythm Section
Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Gimme Some Truth - John Lennon
A Gallon of Gas - The Kinks
Give the People What They Want - The Kinks
Is “La” in “La Grange” considered an article (“the” in Spanish)? If so, then La Grange by ZZ Top. If not, then God Damn Job by The Replacements.
Yes, disqualified.
“La Grange” is good for the G thread.
mmm
1) Girl - The Beatles
2) Goodbye Goodbye - Oingo Boingo
3) Get Out Of Denver - Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
4) Going To California - Led Zeppelin
My last one...
5) Got To Give It Up - Marvin Gaye
Dammit, I was going to suggest that.
Ghostbusters- Ray Parker jr
All the other songs I was going to add have already been done. 6 of them, no less.
Thanks.
