You name the group/artitst

JulieH

Semisonic (?)

Cast Your Fate to the Wind was by Vince Guaraldi . . .  Apparently the James Gang used in in a song of theirs?  I wasn't familiar with that.

Juke Box Hero

LindaKR

Closing Time is by Leonard Cohen  - my parents had a record of The Sandpipers singing Cast Your Fate to the Wind (that's the version that I remember).

 Is Juke Box Hero by Foreigner?

Those Were the Days

JulieH, my mind usually goes to the most "rockin'" answer first. 

LindaKR,  I could only think of the Semisonic version also.

Those Were The Days = Mary Hopkin (Hopkins?)  

(I also remember one by the same name that was the theme to "All In The Family" t.v. show...no idea who that was by tho'.)
