Was chatting w/ someone today and I'm drawing a strange blank - list me some tunes from the past few years that are in 6/8 . . . any style, the more pop the better  |

Not so modern, but also: Queen - "We are the Champions" and Beatles - "Norwegian Wood"
The singer/songwriter of my band recently introduced a skeletal song to us; I suggested he change it to 6/8 and it instantly gave it some "gravitas". I love 6/8. |

If you're into rock, that one's fairly mainstream

Vinnie plays a two measure pattern on St. Augustine with an accent every other eighth note that's super cool. It almost makes me enjoy listening to Sting. |

| | | | ...heard "Iris" (Goo Goo Dolls) yesterday.
Sounds like some of it is in 6/8 (or a 6 over 4 feel).
