Song I used to have but don’t any more: “Black Dog”, Led Zeppelin (#300). Bought it on vinyl in college and taped it on cassette, but both got lost somewhere along the line.
Song the girls would probably like if I played it for them: “Call Me”, Blondie (#289). What’s not to like?
Song I don’t have but probably should: “Seven Nation Army”, The White Stripes (#286). I have plenty of popular music from past decades. I should have some from more recent decades.
Song I have no information on: “Somebody To Love”, Jefferson Airplane (#279). Seriously, it’s just the music file, with no apparent metadata. Not sure if this is a function of my recent hard drive crash, or if it was always this way and I just never noticed. I may have to get one of those music-identifying apps and play it for that so I can figure out who this is by.
To be clear, it’s the Run/DMC version of “Walk This Way” that’s on the list, but all I have is the original Aerosmith version. Elvis Costello’s version of “What’s So Funny…” is on the list; this was a cover of Nick Lowe, and what I have is a cover by Lucy Kaplansky. Capiche? Oddly, I don’t have the album version of “Born In The USA”, just the version from the five-album 1975-1985 live set, and the version from “Tracks”. My collection can be a bit weird sometimes.

Also, from “It Might Get Loud”, Jack White teaches “Seven Nation Army” to Jimmy Page and The Edge.

What information about “Somebody to Love” do you lack if you have the title, the band and the datafile? I’m confused.
Linkmeister – All I have is the title and the file. The band name comes from the list, which is why I commented on it here. I don’t know whose version of the song I have.
