Love this old thread, so I'll do it again, sure!

But I can't keep doing your dirty work. Oh yeah!

Here's an early Steely Dan guitar solo by Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter. Interestingly, Timothy "Schmit (later with the Eagles) sang backing vocals on the Steely Dan studio albums Pretzel Logic (1974), The Royal Scam (1976), and Aja (1977)."

Someone does that Hawk math…

Meh, 5 is arbitrary and too long by 2. Let's get to the guts of it.

Love/hate relationship with the "3". It is a difficult number for the Hawks somtimes.

This is way harder than the Trolley Problem or picking your favorite child.

These might not even by my favorite songs by these artists on a given day, but it is an earnest attempt:

Long Tall Sally - Little Richard
Stand by Me - Ben E. King
Where Did Our Love Go? - the Supremes
God Only Knows - the Beach Boys
Sweet Jane - the Velvet Underground

Also, I’m picking recordings/performances and not strictly songs.

And this list is sorely lacking in Sam Cooke, Stax Records, and Punk Rock.
