Sorry, I can't figure out any of the remaining ones. They must be rather obscure. I've heard of lots of music by these bands/artists, but none of 'em are jumping out at me.

By the way, you say that the artist for #15 is Julio Iglesias, but you spelt his last name wrong.

like I was saying, about spelling, in Elementary school always got 100's on spelling tests, but that was yesterday & yesterday is gone...knew I had it spelled wrong...didn't fix it cause I didn't know how to spell it correctly. Thanks for the correction!

Some are obscure. It depends on what kind of music one listens to. I'm not into C & W, but hang with avid fans, that play nothing but....

The answers for most of those left are easy to guess even if one does not know the song. Each blank is a letter. And remember the theme is Califonia.

Did you ever try the amiright quizzes? I thought this was an easy one. Wrong.
