Yeah, 6 foot 3, that song Bakers Street is a good one. Heard it the other day in the mall where I work, took me right back to 1978 and 11th grade again (whoops, giving away my age).

[country pride]

So many to choose from. I would probably say (just naming a couple)
'Daniel, my brother' by Elton John (and I dont even like E. J. but like that song)
'Magic Man' by Heart
'Dont Call Us, We'll Call You' (dont know who did that one)
