Notes:
I hit 7,500 songs on Monday.  "Pisces Fish" by George Harrison from Brainwashed takes the honor there.  I was unaware that I had four different versions of "Pinball Wizard."  The New Seekers version was decent, and the originals from The Who & Elton John are both fantastic.  The real surprise was the Rod Stewart version, which featured full orchestration and a choir taking up all the backing vocals.  Very odd and interesting.
Lots of great music again on Monday.  Here are my favorites:
  • "Photograph" by Ringo Starr
  • "Piano Man" by Billy Joel
  • "Pick Up The Pieces" by AWB
  • "Picture This" by Blondie
  • "Pictures of Lily" by The Who
  • "Pieces of April" by Three Dog Night
  • "The Pied Piper" by Crispian St. Peters
  • "Piggies" by The Beatles
  • "Pilgrim" by Eric Clapton
  • "Pink Cadillac" by Bruce Springsteen
  • "Pink Champagne" by Joe Liggins
  • "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake
  • "A Pirate Looks At Forty" by Jimmy Buffett
  • "A Place For My Stuff" by George Carlin
  • "Plainest Thing" by Tift Merritt
  • "Play Me" by Neil Diamond
  • "Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)" by Three Dog Night
