64

Girl From The North Country - Roseanne Cash
Good Hearted Woman - Willie Nelson

65

A bit shocked this got nommed, but not the one with the same name by the Smithereens.

66

Yeah, when I saw that in the poll I realized I had missed a big one.

And a personal favorite from a Freaks & Geeks episode:

Groove Line - Heatwave

67

A few more:

Grantchester Meadows - Pink Floyd
Green Is The Colour - Pink Floyd
Guitars and Women - Rick Derringer
God Said - Todd Rundgren
Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine - James Brown
Go and Say Goodbye - Buffalo Springfield

The version on the 1964 album Getz/Gilberto featured Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto and her father João Gilberto. More Gs than you can shake a stick at!

68

Good grief!

69

Did “Good Golly Miss Molly” not make it???

70

Good one.

Truth be told, Weird Al did it better.

71

It would have to go in the "A"s then. :grin:

72

Labdad -

Yes, I can’t believe we all missed Good Golly Miss Molly.

73

When I was thinking about G songs before the thread started Gorilla, You’re a Desperado was one that I thought of. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to dredge it up from my memory.

74

True. But still better.

75

And Stevie Wonder did it first.

76

Wow! That Stevie Wonder song is great.

77

I’ve long been familiar with the Stevie Wonder and Weird Al songs, but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard the Coolio song all the way through. Rap is not my thing.

78

Man, this is one that I forgot too. Great structure, and Robert Quine’s leads on that song tear it up!

79

The whole album is great. The dryest production I know for a rock album, no echo or reverb anywhere. It sounds great and serves Sweet’s power pop melodies exceptionally well.

80

Heheh, yeah, it is produced really well. I was working on a record and the girl who was recording/producing us had a copy of it on the recording desk one day. We talked about the finer points of that record for about half an hour. That probably bored the other members of the band (let’s just say we didn’t play power pop and leave it at that). They had stuff to set up, anyway.
