Across the hall

album. Two point deduction for failing to mention Stone Canyon Band.

With any new love that I've found
Movin' is my stock in trade, I'm movin' on
I won't think of you when I'm gone

Do everything your heart desires
Remember, I'll always be around

So many times before
#17) Rolling Stones: Time Is On My Side (1964) [6] {-}

Said it was all over
Well, it's been some time
And I guess that I'm just meant to be a rover

Note: Often covered garage band favorite made popular by both the

After you've been, been so good to me
I've been unfaithful, Darlin', I've caused you misery

I pretend she's in love with me
#21) Tillotson, Johnny: Jimmy's Girl (1961) [25] {-}
Note: I was surprised to find that this follow-up to Poetry In
Motion only peaked at #25 on Billboard; it was a number one hit in
the Hartford CT area, where I (Tom) grew up.
Don't you know I need you so
Tell me please I've got to know
Do you mean to make me cry
Am I just another guy?
#22) Vee, Bobby: More Than I Can Say (1961) [61] {-}

-------------
Tie-breakers:
-------------
I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!
#T1) Beatles: Helter Skelter (1968) [-] {-}
Note: Ringo screams this at the end of this song from the White
Album, but it is only present on the stereo version of the album.
"The Falk" told me this tie-breaker would be a give-away, but I
didn't believe him . . . you all proved him correct. Almost every
entry correctly identified the Beatles as the artist, and only one
entry had the title incorrect.
You can crystalize through my mind's weary wanderings
I may see your shadowed image on my wall
#T2) Blues Project: Steve's Song (1966) [-] {-}
Note: From the album, "Projections." Blues Project an NYC-based
group, the members of which hung around with the Lovin' Spoonful
and the Greenwich Village crowd . . . was made up of Al Kooper and
Steve Katz, both of whom went on to form Blood, Sweat & Tears.
