DavidMedsker · 4 months ago

It's only a gerund if it's used as a noun, right? Like, "Running is good for you." But either way, you're a big nerd. :-p

WHarrisBullzEye · 4 months ago

Is #7 "Slipping Away," by Dave Edmunds?

steed · 4 months ago

8 is information society - Running.
and I'm going to kick myself when someone reveals #9 - I know I should know it.

DavidMedsker · 4 months ago

Dave Edmunds and Information Society are correct. And yes, Steed, you are going to kick yourself when #9 is guessed.

DavidMedsker · 4 months ago

Actually, I'm wrong. Information Society is the right band, but it isn't "Running." Should read these in full before responding.

Ha. It's the other way around - not Running, but "Walking Away"
