Thrics- All Eyes
That's it. You're the first person to post on this game in months. Good job!
#2 Crystal - New Order
#8 In Limbo - Radiohead
#28 Disorder - Joy Division
Only three I can recognize.
Those were three tough ones to get! Good job.
#4 is a song by the Magnetic Fields. I don't remember the title.
Yes it is, the song is "Strange Powers," one of my favorites.
Ok, the last one is Learning to fly, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers... I would have been very very ashamed if I hadn't been the one to find that :)
and the first one, I knew I just knew it, it's The Offspring on their album Smash, just don't remember what track
Nothing to be proud of that I know it, but #30 is "Photograph" by Def Leppard.
None too proud of some of these, either, but I'm glad I caught that Clash song.
20. Limelight - Rush
37. So Caught Up In You - .38 Special
38. Hateful - The Clash
39. Subdivisions - Rush
36. Rubber Band Man - The Spinners
40. Right Down the Line - Gerry Rafferty
You got it.
Number 29 sounds so silly, is it Shakin' Stevens ?
No, sorry, it's not. Keep guessing.
