We had a historic thread on folks funeral finale tune. Thunder Road appeared far more than any other ditty. It was mine but I’ve moved it earlier to close with I’ll See You In My Dreams. His live show closer and far more apt for the setting.
Combining this thread and the ‘Funeral song’:

I've never been keen on Barry Gibb's falsetto voice but the Bee Gees as a whole had superb harmonies.

You might enjoy this blue grass version by Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway in full Alice kit. Granted Molly doesn't full nail the vocal as well as Grace Slick enjoyable nonetheless.

Molly Tuttle is terrific (not got Grace Slick's powerful voice though). I saw her in my local 90 seater pre Covid when she toured UK. Largely doing her own stuff and bluegrass stuff but threw in a couple of ace covers, her guitar playing is excellent. She subsequently did a really good album of covers during lockdown. My favourite was her take on G Dead's "Standing on the Moon". I used to note she changed her hair style/colour a lot and lately learn she was born with alopecia and has never had real hair.

Love music threads....
This was one of my favourite records as a young kid never thought it would be bettered but the king of cool certainly knocks this song out of the ground and his new album 66 is one of his best some of the tracks sound very Bowie like

For a long time I used to listen to this before going to bed. A big Talking Heads fan anyway and calm before sleep.

I get into London a couple of times per month and when planning my tube route within the city, this one nearly always starts inside my head. Great solos from two different instruments , nice percussion, nice vocals + one of the silliest music-related urban myths. Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street

Excellent choice. The part about the draft is comedy perfection. The film is quite good too.

Love music threads but my love of music always makes it hard to choose.
Singles:
Make Me Smile - Steve Harley
W.O.L.D - Harry Chapin
Free Electric Band - Albert Hammond

Album tracks:
Awaken - Yes
Suppers Ready - Genesis
A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers - Van der Graf Generator

And that is just scratching the surface - barely.
