Posted by: Gail at November 16, 2009 10:17 AM15. A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall--Bob Dylan
22. It's so Easy (to Fall in Love--included in title?)--Buddy Holly
Is there a standard "You'd be so easy to love" by the Gershwins or somebody like that?
Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at November 16, 2009 10:36 AMThere is a song "It's hard" by The Who and I can think of three songs with "Easy Rider" in the title:
by the Byrds, Hendrix (he spells it "Ezy"), and Iron Butterfly.
12. Easy to Be Hard - Three Dog Night
23. Breaking Up is Hard to Do - Neil Sedaka
3.Take it Easy-The Eagles
4.Easy Lover-Phil Collins, Phil Bailey
8.It Don't Come Easy-Ringo Starr
12.Easy to be Hard-Three Dog Night

14, based on David's new hints, is probably "The Harder They Come." I want to say the artist is Jimmy Cliff, but I'm not sure.
Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at November 20, 2009 12:03 AMIs "The waiting is the hardest part" by Tom Petty in there somewhere?
"Easy to slip" by Little Feat is another "easy" song. Don't think it's there, however. There is also a Chicago song called "Hard risin' morning without breakfast" or something like that.
Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at November 20, 2009 12:31 AMIs "Easy Like Sunday Morning" in there?
mm # 115
probably songs from the greatest selling items of all times starting from thriller, which is #1
Posted by: benjie at November 20, 2009 7:25 AMIs "Hard Headed Woman" by Elvis in there somewhere?
