Need help trying to think of top 40 type hits that feature an acoustic twelve string. Here's what I have so far:

Walk Right In The Rooftop Singers
Hotel California The Eagles
Hazy Shade of Winter Simon and Garfunkel
California Dreamin' The Mamas and The Papas

Heh, I always thought Dust in the wind by Kansas had a 12 string playing the main guitar part, but I read on wikipedia it's actually done by 2 six strings.

The Moody Blues had a couple, "Legend of a Mind (Timothy Leary)", "Question". Maybe a couple more.
