    Sweet Emotion?

    I would say that's correct. Give us a new one.

    3-way mashup (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 connecting songs.
    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender
    1. Depeche Mode
    2. The Doors
    3. Nina Simone

    After much investigation I found something that sort of works.

    1. Depeche Mode -- Come Back
    2. The Doors -- Back Door Man
    3. Nina Simone -- Sinnerman

    Incorrect. Here’s a clue for #3:
    Weird + (Apple or Orange) = Song

    Some may need a hint on Pete Rose. He was a baseball player. He had a nickname.

    Soccer mom's vehicle + genuine article or real BLANK / Pete Rose = [artist/song]

    Close. I couldn't think of a "Jack".
    Steve Miller = Joker (I thought that was common knowledge)

    I fold. Your deal.

    I thought of Joker all by myself, but you answered before I could correct myself. Duh.
