    It would completely mess up the theme, but two of three unguessed sound like:

    This 1960s group had a few hits, including one song still very famous today, and another that most rock fans should recognize. This song was not one of their hits, but it was a single. They had a very distinctive style, cited by many modern musicians as an influence.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    The music in the Puzzle Song is based on a very famous classical piece.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
