  • 22 is "Wonderwall." And once again, "Earth Angel" is nowhere to be found.
  • 3. I'm Gonna Make You Mine - Lou Christie
    5. Celebrate - 3 Dog Night
    13. White Bird - It's a Beautiful Day
    16. Do You Want to Dance - Bobby Freeman
    21. Rock and Roll Woman - Buffalo Springfield
    -r
  • 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!
  • 19 is "Wishing You Were Here" by Chicago.
  • 8. Tommy James "Crimson & Clover"
    10. Urge Overkill "Bottle of Fur"
    19. Chicago "Wishing You Were Here"
  • D'oh,,,jon snuck in w/Chicago while I was composing. So I'll take a mulligan on my 3rd with a longshot...
    11. Foreigner "Headknocker"
  • 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. :-)
  • You're the best, dude.
  • correct:
    22 Oasis, Wonderwall
    19 Chicago, Wishing You Were Here
    10 Urge Overkill, Positive Bleeding
    12 Fleetwood Mac, You Make Living Fun

    incorrect:
    Tommy James, Crimson and Clover
    Urge Overkill, Bottle of Fur
    Foreigner, Headknocker
    Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks, Stop Dragging My Heart Around

    (Bad luck, Gary Lucy!)
  • #15 Paul McCartney, Hope of deliverance
    #4 Foreigner, Urgent

    Would you please tell us the last songs of Game 19?
  • I will do that; let me see if I can track it down from here.
  • from game 19:

    4 - The Worst That Could Happen by the Brooklyn Bridge

    6 - Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

    8 - The Past Is a Grotesque Animal by Of Montreal
  • "Hope of Deliverance" and "Urgent" are incorrect.
  • 1. Whirly Girl, Oxo
    4. Rhythm of Love, Yes (not 100% sure on this one)
    6. At My Most Beautiful, REM
  • What the hell -- is #6 At My Most Beautiful by REM?
  • Whoops - should've hit "refresh" before I guessed.
  • Correct:
    "Whirly Girl" by Oxo
    "Rhythm of Love" by Yes (nice guess!)
    "At My Most Beautiful" by R.E.M.
  • Until I heard Fleetwood Mac and Oasis, I thought you were doing a three-letter band theme here. :)
  • Ha!
  • Is #17 "Smoke From A Distant Fire" by Sanford & Townsend?

    Puzzle Song (24)
  • I'm heading out for the evening, and may not be able to check this till much later. I think there's enough showing here to make some good guesses, though.
  • Puzzle Song:

    Dennis Wilson - River Song
  • I'm going to step in for Scraps just to confirm that... YES, you are correct, sir!

    ...which means you get one of the two copies of the new double disc edition of Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue.
  • # 2 "Sliver" Nirvana
  • Unless I'm very much mistaken, #15 is Guns n' Roses - Look at your game girl, which is a Charles Manson cover, and a hidden track on The Spaghetti Incident.
  • Both "Sliver" by Nirvana and "Look at Your Game, Girl" by Guns N' Roses are correct.
  • Thanks, Michael!
  • Would anyone care to take a guess at the acrostic, now that the puzzle song -- Dennis Wilson's "River Song" - has been identified? It would help with guessing the rest of the songs.
  • Only True Surfing Beach Boy
  • ONLY TRUE SURFING BEACH BOY is correct. So we have:

    01 - O Oxo – Whirly Girl (david medsker)
    02 - N Nirvana - Sliver (ken gaper's blog)

    8 - Everly Brothers, Devoted to You
