Though I think the Willie Nelson one is just an album title. Doh.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, obv.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Of course there is always Neil Diamond.

I look forward to hearing about any cheesy work compilation with Sonic Youth's "The Diamond Sea" on it. IIRC, it's about 14 minutes long with a lot of feedback...

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

I can add a few from my collection:

Big Blue Diamonds - Little Willie John
Black Diamond Bay - Bob Dylan
Diamond Head - Beach Boys
The Diamond Sky - Chemical Brothers
Diamonds on My Windshield, or Diamonds and Gold - Tom Waits
Diamonds and Dust - Stormtroopers of Death
Diamonds and Pearls - Wailing Souls
Diamonds at Your Feet - Muddy Waters
Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne - Fatima Mansions
Field of Diamonds - Johnny Cash

and how has no one mentioned Lucy In The Sky With?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Possibly because my database only matches the beginning of the string.

And from my collection:

Tori Amos- Liquid Diamonds
Transplants- Diamonds and Guns (your work colleagues will know this as "the song from that shampoo advert")
ELO- Four Little Diamonds

And "Jack of Diamonds" by obscure Canadian alt.country act the Corb Lund Band. Probably leave that one off, tbh.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

DIAMOND LIGHTS!!!

Also Jet Harris and Tony Meehan - Diamonds.

DIAMOND GUYSERs

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

uh *niles

king tubby - diamond dub

[graciousviv.livejournal.com]

Polyphonic spree - Diamonds/Devotion to majesty

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

KANYE WEST!

I second 'Liquid Diamonds' by Tori Amos, it is awesome.

Kelis's 'Bossy' has that "diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill" hook which Beyonce interpolates in 'Kitty Kat'.

[damnspynovels.livejournal.com]

And Jim "hi ho silver" Diamond.

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

Herb Alpert featuring Janet Jackson - Diamonds

I loved it at the time but haven't heard it for years - I suspect it may have aged badly though.

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

Electribe 101 - Diamond Dove. Lovely.

[glamwhorebunni.livejournal.com]

I was going to say Diamonds are Forever, having been amazed no-one has posted it yet, but now I notice this is the title of your post.

Whoops.

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

Jibbs - Chain Hang Low :)

[glamwhorebunni.livejournal.com]

Oh, that Big Brovaz song based on a more materialistic version of the Sound of Music. It's not very good, but it does feature diamonds...

[sbp.livejournal.com]

Diamond Life - Sade, or is that just an album name?

[bengraham.livejournal.com]

Transplants- Diamonds and Guns (your work colleagues will know this as "the song from that shampoo advert")

I liked it before it was in the advert. It was never going to work long term though... how can you take a great band like Rancid and add that twat from Blink 182 and expect anything other than fleeting success?!!

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

It's not a song title but it's a phrase from one of the verses of 'Smooth Operator'

[cis.livejournal.com]

diamond girl by nice and wild! it is an awesome song as well.

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

DIAMONDS AND RUST - JOAN BAEZ

as covered by JUDAS PRIEST

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

I think this list couldn't help but benefit if you through in "Ace of Spades" and "Queen of Hearts," but anyway...

My one addition is Kiss - "Black Diamond"

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Amy Diamond - Diamonds

(The word "diamond" looks really weird now)

[mcarratala.livejournal.com]

Very schmindie, and not really about diamonds, but nevertheless good: He'd Be A Diamond. Originally by The Bevis Frond (aaagh! hippy alert), also in versions by Teenage Fanclub and Mary Lou Lord and probably more (it's that kind of song...)

[poptasticuk.livejournal.com]

Everything by Amy Diamond could count, but especially 'Diamonds' obviously. Also 'Apples and Diamonds' by Bertine Zetlitz and 'Elastic Diamonds' by Surferosa.

Miss Dynamite:

"Now who gives a damn
About the ice on your hand
If it's not too complex
Tell me how many Africans died
For the baguettes on your Rolex"

Just Another Diamond Day by Vashti Bunyan (its in that advert - you know)
