    8. Simple Minds "Wall of Love"
    9. The The "Dogs of Lust"
    17 Kate Bush "Hounds of Love"

    (You'd think Dogs would love and Hounds would lust. Hm.)
  • DavidMedsker · 2 months ago
    The funny thing is, the three songs you guessed all have something in common besides the quiz's main theme. Look at 9 and 17, and you'll figure out 8.
  • RLB · 2 months ago
    I wasn't too sure of that guess - alas!
  • RLB · 2 months ago
    I'll take a random shot with the dog theme and say "Dogs of War," by Pink Floyd?
  • DavidMedsker · 2 months ago
    Bingo!
  • MatthewBolin · 2 months ago
    11. Pixies, "Planet of Sound"

    #12 - if it's not "South of Heaven" it must be "Skeletons of Society"
  • DavidMedsker · 2 months ago
    The The, Kate Bush, the Pixies, Motorhead and Paul McCartney are correct. Simple Minds and sorry Steed, but Slayer is once again incorrect.

    12. Angel of Death - Slayer

    So glad to see that clue. I was sure it was SHE WATCH CHANNEL ZERO, and when I realized the theme, I thought I was going crazy.
  • Scraps · 2 months ago
    The Divine Comedy, "The Certainty of Chance"
  • Scraps · 2 months ago
    (I got it before the clue.)
  • DavidMedsker · 2 months ago
    Scraps! Always nice to see you on the boards, sir.

    "Angel of Death" and Divine Comedy are correct.
  • steed · 2 months ago
    Son Of Bitch.

    Angel of Death was the next on my list - but I couldn't keep guessing wrong.
  • RoyBatty · 2 months ago
    Was with you on South...but c'mon! Angel was easy after that. ;-)
  • JerryM · 2 months ago

  • Rebecca · 2 months ago
    Darn.
  • DavidMedsker · 2 months ago
    Duran Duran and Doves are correct. Only two left...
  • tangstrom · 2 months ago
    #5 - Discipline of Love - Robert Palmer
  • DavidMedsker · 2 months ago
    Robert Palmer is correct. One left, and I'd bet dollars to donuts half of you have their best-of. Which, ironically, does not include this song. (Hint: it was also a Bottom Feeder.)
  • DavidMedsker · 2 months ago
    All right, I'm putting this to bed. #21 is "Presence of Love" by the Alarm. Thanks for playing, and see you at Cover Me next Monday.
