    #22: Asia, "Without You"?
  • DavidMedsker · 2 weeks ago
    Yes.
  • Francis · 2 weeks ago
    I'll take a stab at the puzzle song -- "Up Up Up Up Up Up" by Ani DiFranco?
  • JerryM · 2 weeks ago
    Is 18 'Til I Hear it From You by Gin Blossoms?
  • RLB · 2 weeks ago
    I was just thinking that myself. Definitely has that 90s Toad-Blossoms sound.
  • JerryM · 2 weeks ago
    Ha! I ran through all the Toad songs I could think of in my head before I settled on this guess.
  • DavidMedsker · 2 weeks ago
    Not the Gin Blossoms, though I thought about using it. Check your Toad records a little closer.

    Puzzle song is not Ani DiFranco.

  • JT · 2 weeks ago
    Im just going throw this out there-
    Puzzle- INXS-New Sensation?
    9-Journey-?
  • DavidMedsker · 2 weeks ago
    Oh, come on, you have to give me at least a song title. :)

    INXS is incorrect.
  • Francis · 2 weeks ago
    You know, I thought that was Journey, but then I didn't see anything that rang a bell on their greatest hits album. Guess they didn't think getting to #23 counted. "After the Fall."
  • JT · 2 weeks ago
    I thought 20 was also Journey cause of the hint (SF rock band)..
    I dont know their stuff past grt hits so its up to the faithful to figure it out.
    I thought the puzzle was forsure INXS.
  • DavidMedsker · 2 weeks ago
    Journey and the Boomtown Rats are correct. As for the Tubes, I'm sure our friend Terje (Big hint! Big hint!) will know this one.
  • tangstrom · 2 weeks ago
    20. How about "Out of the Business" by The Tubes?
  • DavidMedsker · 2 weeks ago
    "Out of the Business" is correct.
  • RLB · 2 weeks ago
    OK, this might be dumb, but is the Puzzle AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock"?
  • DavidMedsker · 2 weeks ago
    YES! Ding ding ding! "For Those About to Rock" is correct. Nicely done, sir.

    Oh, and #24 is "Like Flames" by Berlin. See you guys in two weeks!
