Notes:
The medleys were interesting.  I did finally get the other versions of "Kansas City" (I had heard the others back on 1/5/10), but there was also three of the four tracks from Booker T & The MG's McLemore Avenue, which was a cover of Abbey Road.  The entire album is only four tracks, and I won't hear the final one until well into the S songs, as "Something" is a stand-alone track.  Since it's arguably one of the best songs on Abbey Road, I see their point of recording it separately.  And while I'm on the subject of Abbey Road, I heard "Mean Mr. Mustard" without "Polythene Pam."  It was strange.
Here are my favorites from Tuesday:
  • "Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty
  • "Mary Queen of Arkansas" by Bruce Springsteen
  • "Massachusetts" by The Bee Gees
  • "A Matter of Trust" by Billy Joel
  • "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" by The Beatles
  • "May I Have a Talk With You" by Stevie Ray Vaughan
  • "Maybe" by Alison Krauss
  • "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney
  • "Maybellene" by Chuck Berry
  • "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard" by Paul Simon
  • "Me and the Devil Blues" by Robert Johnson
  • "Mediterranean Sundance / Rio Ancho" by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucia
  • "Meet Me At Mary's Place" by Sam Cooke
  • "Meet Me in the Morning" by Bob Dylan
  • "Meeting Across the River" by Bruce Springsteen
