14. Hey, one that I actually know! It's the Alabama Song, from... umm... City of Mahagonny? What do you mean by "artist"? It's Brecht/Weill, and the version I know best is sung by Lenya (see icon), though I have a cover by The Doors, and no doubt there are many others.

Oh, and 15 is Shine on you crazy diamond, so Pink Floyd.

Yes, it's Alabama Song - it was David Bowie singing it.

To be picky, it's Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX). ;)

That's a good picture of Lenya, she was rather good looking in her youth. (I remember thinking that when I saw Pabst's film of The Threepenny Opera.)

Well, technically I should have said The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. Does Bowie do it with pretty boys or little girls?

I'm afraid I cropped out the cigarette in her hand. I know it's censorship, but I just can't face a cigarette in my icon.

Cropping to get the image you want seems fair enough to me.

Bowie does it with little girls.
