    Six left, including the puzzle song.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    I think I should probably emphasize that when I said in response to an earlier question that "The puzzle song will never be the same song and artist as another song and artist on the list," I used the word "and", not "or".
  • tangstrom · 1 year ago
    Now that we've had that clarification, I'll take a shot: Puzzle Song -- "War" -- The Temptations
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    That is correct! The original recorded version of "War" by the Temptations. Congratulations, tangstrom! (And sorry, dr castrato, if my response was confusing.)

    12 - Album track from early 1990s power pop touchstone.

    17 - Album track from early 1980s album that pioneered a genre so many years in advance that this album is still only a cult favorite.

    20 - Early 1990s track by one of the biggest stars in pop music history, this song was an original song on a compilation album and was not a hit (though it should have been).

    26 - Mid 1980s hit single by an R&B band far better known for their work in the 1970s.
