Cats in the Cradle is sung by Harry Chapin, not Cat Stevens. It’s a common misconception, wanted to let you know.

I know this is a bit late, but ….Cat Stevens did a cover of it too.

Ok here’s a better list. I can actually perform all of these songs on acoustic:

Learning to Fly – Tom Petty (he’s got that one right)
Promises – Eric Clapton
Friday I’m in Love – The Cure (yes this one translates nicely to acoustic.)
Small Town – John Cougar Mellencamp (or what ever he’s calling himself now.)
SOUTHERN CROSS – CSN (i love this song)
Every Rose Has its Thosrn – Poison
N.F.B. – Anthrax (the pardoic rebuttal to 80′s hair ballads. Hilarious)
Wanted Dead or Alive – Bon Jovi (you karaoke it, so now learn it for real)
Tequila Sunrise – Eagles
Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw? – Jimmy Buffet
Hey There Delilah – Plain white T’s (Yeah i don’t like it either, but it the chicks dig it.)
This Old Guitar – John Denver (or pretty much anything by him)
NIght Moves – Bob Seger

(Tune down E string to D for these next songs:
Everlong – Foo Fighters
Harvest Moon – Neil Young
Hurt – Nine Inch Nails
Never Goin Back Again – Fleetwood Mac (i’m actually still working on this one, because i figure if you can pull this one off, you’re pretty much getting laid that night)
King’s Highway – Tom Petty
Horse with No Name – America

Thanks for reading!

I love the commentary. Some great songs. I hope some of them aren’t too hard to learn to play. Where is a good place to go to learn to play some of these songs? I am a beginner, but am learning solely to be able to play a little bit around the campfire with my family.

Neil Young is a whiny little bitch who can’t sing. Every one of his songs is a big yawn. No one needs to hear that crap at their backyard party or at a campfire. The rest of the songs are good, but leave that pussy’s songs off the list!

LOL… S&G released their last album in 1970 and broke up in 1971. Cats in the Cradle was written in 1974.
