[quote author=whis

9. Sign of fire - the Fixx



a correct answer cs :)


I confused Too Hot with Victory - please consider my answer amended.


It is Victory :)

I'll guess #45 is "Working On A Heart Attack" by Device. :-\\

#2 was bugging me so much I Googled it!  I totally would not have thought that song.

Let me have a go...

#2: Turn Back The Clock - Johnny Hates Jazz

#32: Move Closer - Marilyn Martin

#44: Versailles - White Soxx  ???

That's it.

I'll guess #45 is "Working On A Heart Attack" by Device. :-\\


Close enough ;)  It's "Hannging on A Heart Attack" :)


Let me have a go...

#2: Turn Back The Clock - Johnny Hates Jazz

#32: Move Closer - Marilyn Martin

#44: Versailles - White Soxx  ???

That's it.


Johnny Hates Jazz and Marilyn Martin correct, but not the right songs.  #44 is incorrect.  Good guesses though :)

[quote author=whis

Very strange - Turn Back The Clock was a #5 hit in the Netherlands. You mean to say it didn't make it to Top 40 in US? I'm shocked. :o
I'll have another go then. Is it Heart Of Gold?

For #32 and #44 I have no alternative at hand.


It was not Turn Back the Clock or Heart of Gold.  I actually never understood why either of those didn't chart in America.  They were great songs :)


#2 - The only other American top 40 hit for this band who Shattered many dreams with their first hit
"I Don't Want To Be a Hero"

#19 - This was the second hit by a band whose biggest hit was called 'Sweetheart'
Franke and the Knockouts, but the only other hit of theirs I know is "Not Another Lonely Night" and I don't think that's it, and I know "Keep On Fighting" wasn't a hit, so... I'm out of their songs.

#25 - A 1982 hit by an ex-member of The Eagles
Hmm... something by Glenn Frey?

#44 - A 1981 one hit wonder.  The band is named after something you wear on your feet
Shoes?


#2 is correct and the artist on #19 is correct, the rest are not.  All good guesses though :)

#25 - A 1982 hit by an ex-member of The Eagles
Joe Walsh?


nope, but a good guess though

14. Out of Work - Gary US Bonds
