Eric has it! "Repetition", from David Bowie's Lodger, later covered by the Au Pairs.

Whew! Congratulations, Eric, and thanks to everyone who pursued this to the end.

Repetition - David Bowie

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:49:55 -0000

Here's my left field guess:

David Bowie, "Station to Station"

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:26:06 -0000

I had no idea so many songs could fit the clue at this point.

It's not "Red Red Wine" by Neil Diamond or "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie. But it is one of those two musicians.

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:24:26 -0000

I assure you that you will agree with this musician's importance.

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:44:29 -0000

Shoot, I didn't even think of Bowie. I think you got it, because I think Duran Duran did a version of it a while back.

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:43:39 -0000

Rebel, rebel was covered by Birminghams also called post-punk band Duran Duran

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:38:00 -0000

Well I'm gonna go with another one, Neal Diamonds "Red Red Wine" also done by Birmingham's own UB40.

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:06:47 -0000

Rebel, rebel by David Bowie?

"The puzzle song is by one of rock's most famous and influential figures, "

Ah, shoot, to you guys that would be somebody like Elvis Costello! To me, that person would be Tony Iommi. Or to deconstruct it further, a tie between J.S. Bach and Robert Johnson. Thus the complete fail that has been me. But since the sound clip obviously doesn’t help me, I’ll keep trying with the clues . . . .It’s not like I could be working or anything . . .

The puzzle song is by one of rock's most famous and influential figures, and album track from an album that was not perhaps one of his most commercially successful but is one of a run of critically acclaimed albums.

The puzzle song was also covered as a single by an influential Birmingham post-punk band a few years later.

#4: "Mirror Mirror," Diana Ross (thanks for the Sembello clue, Scraps)

I can't believe this group didn't get the Jellyfish song right away. That's what I get for leaving town on a Friday.

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:14:24 -0000

Yeah, I figured that one was a strech . . .

Not "Eye to Eye" by Chaka Khan. Bigger star,

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:41:25 -0000

#4 Eye to Eye - Chaka Kahn

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 13:31:10 -0000

Correct:
"Bye Bye Bye" by Jellyfish

Incorrect:
"Hi, Hi, Hi" by Wings

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:47:18 -0000

Or I guess technically it's a Wings song?

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:01:31 -0000

#13 is Bye, Bye, Bye by Jellyfish
