9. Absolutely right
Billy Florio:
1. Too easy for you
16. I can't give it to you, the answer to the question is wrong.
19. Sorry, wrong.
Hannah Bear:
14. Yes. I love to turn this song way up loud and just howl along with it.

Meriadoc:
12. Song and artist OK. Can you please frame the answer in the terms of what the lyric says?
IndyGent:
18. I would have accepted just about anyone as the artist here: I think everyone's done a version at some time or another.

3. Yes, but CS already had it, providing Great White open with "Hullo!"
15. Correct ... one of most stirring ballads ever written.
Still a few left up there people.
