    Those are all correct, and I'm going to list them, because the game needs more correct guesses. Thanks for helping out!

    In the future, though, please limit yourself to three guesses between updates of the list (as it says in the rules). Thanks!

    I think #10 is Positive Bleeding by Urge Overkill, but I never would've gotten it without Gary Lucy's guess.

    Other than that, I'm stumped. Good clips this week!

    12 is "You Make Lovin' Fun" by Fleetwood Mac. And my wild crack at the Puzzle Song is "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." But if that's true, who's the first artist listed? Stevie?

    Jee Gee, I'm going to assume everyone knows who did "Wonderwall", so I'll give you that one: but in the future, the artist must be guessed too with the song. :-)
