    This is a deep cut. Not a hit. Might require a little research

    Knew it immediately.

    Sleeping With The Television On

    Kind of a Billy Joel fan. Especially Glass Houses.

    Good song on a great album! I like a lot of the non hits. Close To The Borderline is another one.

    (I guess that clue and song only makes sense to a person of a certain age 😁)

    Here's an easy one. Only a couple songs would come to mind. If you're a baseball fan it's super easy.

    No. kind of a bad clue… I’ll give it to you.

    I was thinking of Song On The Radio

    Ah, that's a good one too. He has three hits that come immediately to mind. That would have been third.

    Fleetwood Mac + The Rockets = [same song]

    I had to do an AI search.

    Both Fleetwood Mac and The Rockets performed the song "Oh Well". Originally written by Peter Green and released by Fleetwood Mac in 1969, the song became one of their most iconic tracks. The Rockets later covered it in 1979, and their version even made it to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #30.

    Fleetwood Mac’s original version had two distinct parts—one fast-paced electric blues section and a longer instrumental piece with classical influences. The Rockets’ cover focused on the first part, delivering a powerful rock rendition.

    After listening to The Rockets version, I do recognize it.

    A GREAT cover! It rocks! I bought the album when the song came out. I loved it. Bought their follow up album too. I remember reading that they were Mitch Ryders band, before going out on their own.

    Correct so far. Clue #1 - Although the first word in the 4th song and the last word in the 3rd song are not verbatim, it does contain “Cry” in the first 3 letters.
    I’ll wait awhile little before I give Clue #2…
