Layla - Clapton/Derek and the Dominoes
Give Duane Allman some credit - he was a big part of this record. Dude was incredible.

Rosanna by Toto is one of the greatest songs of all time. The horns, the piano, the guitar, the chorus...

Just top notch IMHO.

The song is about an abused boy but the boy represented her.

So who knows?

I know it's against the rules of this thread but if the rules were the title has a woman's name in it.

My vote would be "Jane Says".

One of my favorites.

This one is borderline as the song is technically called "Shutter Gut" by Soak but the song is basically "Caroline".

And funny enough, Caroline was the name of the wife of one of my Corps Turd buddies who went through the US Army Armor School at the same time I did.

It's gone 4 pages - hardly thread killing and probably 100+ more entries. I was very impressed by the breadth - not counting the ones that did not follow the rules.
