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.

That is correct! The original recorded version of "War" by the Temptations. Congratulations, tangstrom! (And sorry, dr castrato, if my response was confusing.)

Now that we've had that clarification, I'll take a shot: Puzzle Song -- "War" -- The Temptations

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".

Re: Name That Tune, Game Twenty-Six

"Let's All Make a Bomb" by Heaven 17 and "March from the River Kwai and Colonel Bogey March" by Mitch Miller are both correct.
