Notes:
I'm still getting through the M's, but I should have them wrapped up on Monday.  I was pretty surprised to hear that I had eight different versions of Mr. Tambourine Man.  I knew I had a few, but certainly not eight.
"Mountain Jam" will certainly win as longest song in the library.  I don't know if I've ever taken the time to listen to all of it until Friday.
Here are my favorites from Friday:
  • "More Than a Feeling" by Boston
  • "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens
  • "Morning Is My Destination" by Tift Merritt

  • "A Most Peculiar Man" by Simon & Garfunkel
  • "Mother's Little Helper" by The Rolling Stones
  • "Mother and Child Reunion" by Paul Simon
  • "Mother Nature's Son" by The Beatles
  • "The Motown Song" by Rod Stewart (with The Temptations)
  • "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" by Billy Joel
  • "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars
  • "Mozambique" by Bob Dylan
  • "Mr. Big Stuff" by Jean Knight
  • "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO
  • "Mr. Jones" by Counting Crows
  • "Mr. Lee" by The Bobbettes
  • "Mr. Pitiful" by Otis Redding
  • "Mr. Spaceman" by The Byrds
