This is one that I know I am missing someone. The idea was to take bands that had a married couple in the band and pick songs during the time they were married (that didn't quite work out). Mariage is hard work without also working together. And it shows. Only a few of these married couple stayed married. And many kept working after getting divorced. So if it was possible I picked a song that was during the marriage portion. I did not pick bands with long term romantic couples, so Blondie was out. Early White Stripes was in. Look up each band to see who the married couple was, if you don't know. Like for Fleetwood Mac, Stevie and Lindsey didn't count, but the McVie's did. Jefferson Starship had Grace Slick who purportedly dated everyone in the band at one time or another (it was free love San Francisco after all) but at one point or another Paul Kantner ended up marrying her. Stories like that are all over this pick.
