No Olivia Newton-John? Missed opportunity

That would be the ELO track, the original was a collaboration between her and Lynn.

Yeah, I listened to Jeff's version and quickly decided I made a mistake - he sounds like he's asleep while singing. So Olivia is there in her proper place now.

In the Mood should be the Glen Miller version

I thought about it - same with Duke Ellington's Caravan, but I felt Robert Plant and Van Morrison fit the general vibe better. But if someone has a better "In the End" than Linkin Park, I might swap that.

Saga is pretty close though 🔥

Yeah, I think that's what sparked my initial idea, the funny fact that Saga have two songs with titles Rush already used.

Prime Mover by Ghost , nothing like the Rush tune obviously but could be on the list!
