I'm on it: Songs that namecheck other artists. So what band gets mentioned in more than one of the songs listed above (not counting Life is a Rock, which mentions every rock musician ever)?

AL got it too (I sent the list to her as an example) so she may be intrigued enuf to come up with something similar.

Thur 2/25/10: 1974

The Bitch is Back - Elton John
Lively Up Yourself - Bob Marley
James Dean - Eagles
No No Song - Ringo Starr
Black Water - Doobie Brothers
The Loco-Motion - Grand Funk Railroad
Call Me The Breeze - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Heroes Are Hard to Find - Fleetwood Mac
You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet - BTO
Sailing Shoes - Robert Palmer

The Sound's software censored the word "bitch" on their 10@10 page. And it's not clear whether the Robert Palmer was the complete medley or some sorta edit.

Funny, I looked at their "just played" page right after AL was done with her set, and it had it spelled out there. So their censorship software is not consistent to all parts of their site. Pretty pedestrian set, imo--only thing that could possibly be considered a rarity are the Palmer and FMac tunes. (Oh, and maybe Ringo--maybe.)

No, the Styx tune is listed there. I just checked the Sound's 10@10 page--it was Heart Like a Wheel by Steve Miller Band, which should have followed the Benatar tune.

what I *meant* was: it was missing from the "just played" list but is present on the posted list.  Making me think Larry added it last-minute or something
