Lady - Styx
...
Brass In Pocket - The Pretenders
Mexican Radio - Wall of Voodoo
Just What I Needed - The Cars

...but I will give Dave credit for Squeeze Box and Bang A Gong... both were good.

Excuse me, young lady, but if you had carefully read all of our prior posts, you would have noticed that not only do we know Skynyrd, Floyd, Queen, etc. but we included them in our lists. e.g.

Besides, rather than just repeat my suggestions from last year, I am including all of them by reference and just providing the additions to the list in this thread. But while we are on the subject, we should reference your post in that other thread, and discuss the suggestion of "Dixie Chicken." While the song in subject is noteworthy indeed, the version you cited - a knockoff by some sissified hack in a cowboy hat - is barely worth mentioning. The only version worthy of serious consideration is the original by Little Feat. Nonetheless, for a youngster you have made a valiant attempt at a credible list of rock (although placing "Pinball Wizard" right aftter "Cherry Pie" is something like putting a Picasso after a cigarette ad).
