one that eluded me for 10 years was Joan Baez "Diamonds & Rust." i heard it on scratchy AM radio out of state as a kid on a car trip. i thought it was joni mitchell. i think what finally happened was i was reading about judas priest and their unlikely hit cover of this song, so i listened to it and finally heard the song i'd been looking for for so long. oh, and it's sappier and more produced than i remembered and heard it on the radio that one time.

there are other examples, but that is the big one. there are still songs/pieces of music i'm looking for.
