Hi Jason! Excellent work once again! :)
I'm not going for the obvious ones (well, not ALL of them anyway). And besides, I don't know the title for #5... :-Rock The Boat - Forrest
Oh well - seeing Sic0 already beat me to the title, I guess I can have another half:
#5: Time Bandits
#16: Vienna Calling - Falco
#17: Garden Party - Mezzoforte
Too bad the limit's three...Guess the rest will have to wait ::)

Hello Jason...excellent stuff as ever...
#6. 'Duel' - Propaganda
#10. 'Listen To Your Father'
Feargal was born in the province (Northern Ireland) which, depending on your viewpoint, doesn't actually make him 'Irish'...but that's just a pedantic point...
#11. 'Another Lover' - Giant Steps
I would tell you who they were originally known as, but that's my limit!

I actually didn't know there was a difference. I always heard Feargal was Irish. Guess not
You got 2.5 correct answers, which means you still have .5 of a guess left :)

Hi again...
#33. 'Cry' - Waterfront
...and at long last...
#41. used to be known (in some shape or form) as The Quick
They only had one minor-ish it ('Rhythm Of The Jungle') over here, but they apparently provided the 'inspiration' for Go West (if the sleeve notes of one of their records is to be believed...)
