Notes:
Lots of great covers & alternate versions of songs yesterday, though I must admit that not hearing "The Load Out" before Jackson Browne's version of "Stay" was a bit odd.  But I'm sure I felt the same way when I heard "The Load Out" without it blending into "Stay" earlier. 
Another milestone on day 101...  I hit song 9,000 today, which was "Spunky" by Johnny Jenkins from The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 box set.  I may get out of the S's by the end of the week, depending on how much time I can listen over the next few days, but early next week is looking more realistic.
I had to use the word 'additional' for "Steady Rollin' Man" above because I had already heard two other versions back on 12/8/10, titled "I'm A Steady Rollin' Man."
Aside from all the great songs above, here are the favorites from yesterday:
  • "Spirits In The Material World" by The Police
  • "Splish Splash" by Bobby Darin
  • "Squeeze Box" by The Who
  • "St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion)" by John Parr
  • "St. Judy's Comet" by Paul Simon
  • "St. Stephen" by The Grateful Dead
  • "Stage Fright" by The Band
  • "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin
  • "Stand On It" by Bruce Springsteen
  • "Standing In The Shadows Of Love" by The Four Tops
  • "Star Of The County Down" by Van Morrison & The Chieftans
  • "The Star Spangled Banner" by Marvin Gaye
  • "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones
  • "Statesboro Blues" by The Allman Brothers Band
  • "Stay (I Missed You)" by Lisa Loeb
  • "Stay Awhile" by Dusty Springfield
  • "Stay With Me" by The Faces
  • "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees
  • "Steamroller" by James Taylor
I'm a bit surprised I didn't have "The Star Spangled Banner" by Jimi Hendrix.  I thought I did...  Oh well.  Marvin Gaye's is still the best.  I don't care what anyone says.
