1. All Right Now by Free

Love, love, love Paul Rodgers!!

...and I miss the late great Paul Kossoff

11. Some times when we touch

One that makes me want to go lie down in a dark room, oldbroad!

6. Me and Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson (the original and still the best version by my reckoning)

Sherlock, have you heard Paul Rodgers with Joe Bonamassa? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlxXSdU6L_4 (from a brilliant live album)

12. Ahhhhh .... My Era !!

"Rip It Up" from Little Richard.

5. Daydream Believer - The Monkees

All great solves!

Used to agree with you until I heard the Grateful Dead version, Lex

2. I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City by Sinead O'Connor.

Hi Rog.

3. Hotel California ~ The Eagles

Wow! Thanks for sharing that, Lex! I hadn't heard that version of the song, just the original by Free.

10. Helpless by CSN&Y

Good memories all!

Don't know that version, Remi - only heard the Nilson one

9 Hey thats no way to say goodbye
Such an awesome song

You have great taste!

#9 makes me cry.

#8 is Harry Chapin's WOLD

6. Cover of the Rolling Stone by Dr. Hook

Rog, I have never really got into the Dead, but having just sampled their version of that song and the rest of the album Skull and Roses, I have bought it (although I am still a die hard Kristofferson fan and prefer his version!) - thanks for the mention.

Great solves everyone!

Not surprised, Lady K - it's a beaut. Always thought "Songs of Leonard Cohen" was his best album. As far as Harry Chapin goes, I feel the same emotion about "Cat's in the Cradle", with added guilt...

Took me a while Lex, 'cos I originally thought they must be heavy metal! As a country/rock group, I love 'em. (Mebbe not all of the live performances - they tended towards self-indulgence, but the studio albums were crackers). And thanks for the link - great version!

4. July, You're a Woman
John Stewart

I'm impressed, manxman - great solve!
