Definitely said:
Hahaha well I can't focus on one long enough before realizing that "Oh I wanted to know this one" or "Oh I really like that line I should learn it" and before you know it I'm in the middle of a bunch of different songs without finishing any of them!

This is me too. Trouble is that I never seem to finish them...

Still working on Rush, Tom Sawyer and Zeppelin, Black Dog.

Let's see. Over the last month I've been focused mostly on improving my ability to play and sing at the same time. Mostly backing vocals, but some lead stuff too. That has affected how many songs I've learned lately, because I've mostly been working on singing with songs that I already knew. But I have learned a few others in the lats 4 weeks for a new project (which is why I am working on singing. lol):

Bad Co - Burnin' Sky
Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young
Black Sabbath - The Wizard
Foreigner - Double Vision
Jethro Tull - Velvet Green
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
Paul McCartney - Junior's Farm
Rush - Bastille Day
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Couldn't Stand The Weather
The Who - Squeeze Box
Yes - Our Song
