I’m on the road this Friday, so today’s Friday 10 is a little less ornate than usual. But the game is still on! Last week’s champion was Fred with two lyrics identified.
Here’s this week’s 10 — get in the comments and identify the artist and the song! Edit: The answers are now posted below and over on this handy YouTube playlist! Remember: No searching for the answers, and I give credit if you can identify a cover as long as it’s one I can find. Let’s gooo!

I can’t quite place 1, 3, and 4.
Nice! Not right on #5, but all the rest spot on!
4. No Rain, Blind Melon
Got it!
1. Linger – The Cranberries
3. Carry On My Wayward Son – Kansas
Yes on both!
Ah! I see what I did there on #5. In my brain it scanned to the America song, but speed it up with the actual lyrics you posted, and it’s “Layla” by Clapton (or maybe his Derek and the Dominos version?).
Got it! Derek and the Dominos, this time!
