Eh ?  Maddog, I'm confused.  

# 7  is "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" by Bob Dylan, or Graham Bonnet, amongst others....

Are you saying there is an artist who has a number in the title that did the song ?

FB  ???

You're right on the song FB, and there is another artist who covered this song. The number in the band's name is the next number in the Fibonacci sequence...
