I got this idea from urbeatle, although I'm not sure if he originated it or not. The rules are:

• Post the names of 20 of your favorite bands / musicians
• See who can guess which is your favorite song by each.
• Once someone guesses right, bold that row and include the song.

Here's my list of bands. I tried to get some variety in, and to avoid bands that nobody would have heard of, but we will see how successful I was.

1. Aretha Franklin
2. Bessie Smith
3. Bo Diddley
4. Bob Dylan
5. Bonnie Raitt
6. Chuck Berry -- No Particular Place To Go
7. The Coasters
8. Dr. John
9. Erin McKeown
10. Freezepop -- Here Comes A Special Boy
11. Gillian Welch
12. Grandmaster Flash
13. The Ink Spots
14. Johnny Cash
15. Lucinda Williams -- Passionate Kisses
16. Mono Puff
17. Talking Heads
18. They Might Be Giants
19. Wilson Pickett -- Man and a Half
20. Interrobang Cartel

urbeatle refrained from picking any cover songs, so maybe I should warn you that I didn't follow that rule.

Yes, that's the song 'Think', which is pretty great (especially the version in the Blues Brothers for some reason)! However, not the one I was thinking of.
