Apologies to game players. Apparently Disqus is working on an upgrade, which is why everything is loading so slowly.

All guesses so far are correct.

RLB · 2 months ago

25 is from Simple Minds' _Street Fighting Years_ but I forget some of those song names... maybe it's the song "Street Fighting Years"?

Absurd shot at the Puzzle: "Maybe" by the Wonder Stuff?

RLB · 2 months ago

D'oh - there's a theme. So the Simple Minds song is "Belfast Child" and my puzzle guess stinks.

15. Babylon - David Gray

3. R.E.M. - Texarkana

RLB · 2 months ago

3 is "Texarkana" from REM

DavidMedsker · 2 months ago

REM, Simple Minds and David Gray are correct. The Wonder Stuff is incorrect.

RLB, you still have two more guesses, since Jerry M scooped you.

Sorry, had to check out for a bit. Here are your CLUES:

7. Recently put out a long-overdue best-of.
12. You're kidding, right? You've all owned this song since you were six. I thought this would be first off the board.
16. Their most well-known song is courtest of a VW commercial.
17. One of the song titles on either side of this one will provide a clue.
19. Wouldn't she?

Forgot to add a clue for the puzzle song: You won't find it on a map.
