If everyone in the office really likes the following 3 songs, what other songs do you think we’ll like? Howling Wolf: Killing floor, Little Richard: I don’t know what you got, Bruce Springsteen: 10th Avenue freeze out. Specifically looking for songs, not artists or genres. Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure what the three songs you mentioned have in common, but here's a guess at what you all might like:

Taj Mahal - Leaving Trunk
Buddy Guy - First Time I Met The Blues
Etta James - All I Could Do Was Cry
Ray Charles - Hallelujah I Love Her So
Slim Harpo - I Got Love if You Want It
Sonny Boy Williamson - Help Me
The Animals - Bring it On Home to Me
Aretha Franklin - The Long And Winding Road
Joe Cocker - Bye Bye Blackbird
Fats Domino - Blue Monday
James Carr - These Ain't Raindrops

Response by poster: Thanks to everyone who answered; we're going to make a compilation of these suggested songs.
