"Songs I wish I had written"

[christopherscum]

So Lonesome I could cry, wedding bells, Just Told momma Goodbye,- Hank Williams Sr. Sunday Morning coming Down- Johnny Cash Cotton Fields- (Unsure) C.C.R. does a great version Boys of summer-Don Henley Ball and Chain, Born To Lose-Social Distortion Olympia- Rancid Junkie Man-Rancid Needle and the damage done, heart of gold, rockin' in the Free world, southern Man, OHIO, a man needs a maid, Neil Young mommies little Monster- Social Distortion all apologies Nirvana (Actually, I agree with the earlier guy's post, every song Nirvana wrote is a masterpiece that stands on it's own) If that ain't country(I'll kiss your ass) David Allin CoeHeroin-Lou Reed Dust my broom-(not sure) Willie Dixon Versionsweet Home Chicago-(unsure who originally wrote this) SLOOP JOHN B. (Not even sure if that's how it's spelled, it's a traditional song but I love The Beach boys)good Vibrations-beach Boys here Comes a regular/ A little mascara/ One more shot of Thunder/ waitress in the sky/ Bastards of Young-The Replacements You can't put your arms around a memory/ sad Vacation- Johnny Thunders Carmelita/ excitable boy and many other By warren Zevon animal Boy, cretin Hop, Teenage Lobotomy, Bonzo goes to Bitsburg, The K.K.K. took my baby away, Gimme shock treatment, sombody put something in my drink,psycho therapy, Rock away Beach -The RAMONES Ugly houses, 31 degrees, The Lights- Carl Snow Sympathy for the devil, brown Sugar, Honky Tonk woman, Dead Flowers,-The StonesGo Back to Greenville-Lucinda Williams O.K., This is a great Idea for a thread and I could go on all day with it! Those are just the tip of the Ice-burg. Some of them, when I hear them I'm like my God I did could have written that from my own experiences! O.K. those are the ones that are so good lyrically or musically I wish I'd written. Financially it's a whole different ball game... Iggy Pop- Lust For Life (I love the song anyway) The mainsteam advertisers got a hold of it, which I guess for Iggy is great. Queen-We will Rock you Like a Rock- Bob Segar Bad to the bone, or move it on over-George ThorogoodKung Fu fighting (?) I can see clearly now the rain is gone (?) I'too sexy (can't even remember who done it but it's been on many comercials.

Chistopherscum,nice list, but for someone who listed I'm so lonesome I could cry first (i can't believe i left that one off my list) you went and credited George Thorogood with Move it on over.That is also a Hank Sr. classic.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Move_It_On_Over
