This is a "what's the connection" worthy of Mr Jennings... I just posted this in The Sound's 10@10 Thread too, but this is a Mystery Set they did Friday -- do NOT go to their website for the answer, see if you can guess what these 10 have in common...

Saturday in the Park - Chicago
Rock and Roll All Night - KISS
Mr. Blue Sky - ELO
Spirit of Radio - Rush
Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues
Barracuda - Heart
Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Can't Get Enough of Your Love - Bad Company
Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' - Journey
Feels Like the First Time - Foreigner

DUDE! You don't own a copy of Days of Future Passed?

I'll wait until lunchtime and then post the answer. I'd've never gotten it either.

Last chance. HINT: it's what the artists (not the songs) have in common. (Besides being overplayed Classic Rock Radio chestnuts)

I'm still thinking --  it can't be the bass players sing lead vocals.  Ross Valory never did that.

ETA: they ever have appeared, or will one day appear, on NPR during pledge week?   Soccer Moms Unite!

Groups that should have gotten into the RnR HoF before Genesis did?  Or at least six or seven of them?

Ding Ding Ding! All 10 are still waiting to get into the Hall...  And they didn't even play 3 Dog Night!

Finally catching up a bit.  

If they'd had 3DN, War & BOC in the mix (or maybe even ELP, instead of Bon Jovi, Foreigner & Heart) it would have been a No-Brainer!

7.  What unusual distinction is shared by these songs?  Counting Crows' "Mr. Jones," Cream's "White Room," Kermit the Frog's "It's Not Easy Being Green," Alanis Morissette's "Hand in My Pocket," Pearl Jam's "Jeremy," Radiohead's "Karma Police," Simon and Garfunkel's "America," Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner."

I haven't got a clue yet, although for the first time in a while all the songs on Mr. Jennings' list are ones I'm quite familiar with.

I was going to say that they all rattle off names of gold and other colors, but that's not true of "Tom's Diner."

They're all sung by muppets?  Wait -- that's only true on "It's Not Easy Being Green" and "Mr. Jones" .   ;D
