* Just to note I didn’t consider songs that started with either The, A, or (Bits of the Title in Brackets) unless the next word started with an M.
Some great songs in that list. Man in Black, Marquee Moon, Midnight Train and Motherless Child – all awesome songs. Kelis I’m not so sure about. Can I know to be cool, but am not aurally sophisticated enough to handle. In your lower list, Motorhead, MC5, King Curtis the Pixies and the Wedding Present all get my vote.
I got R, and found it incredibly hard!
By the way, I tagged you for another meme, on political influences.
You did alright though Bob!
Did “Stumbling and Mumbling” ever come up with a list?
