I took your #12 and #14 entries (it's actually Could've Been, and Houston); I don't mind misspellings.  ;) Unfortunately, whitewolf, I can't take #9, since it's a different title, and even though Sting technically sings this song, I'm looking for the group that he sang it with. I'll keep it reserved for ya, since I think you know it. :)

Yes, Richie Valens originally sang it, but I'm looking for the '87 version, so Los Lobos is right.  :)

Okay, since no one knows the last three songs, I'll remove the five song limit. So anyone who has reached the 5 song limit can add to their score.
