#157 The Whole of the Moon - The Waterboys
#161 My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion



#171 I Am I Said - Neil Diamond

Ant


Sorry, Jack - #151 has already been answered. :( The other three are correct. :)

I can only give you 3.5. You've got the wrong song for #172.




Well then the only other one I know for sure by them is:

#172 Don't Answer Me

Wow! I must be slipping...not making an appearance until page 2!  ;)

Splendid stuff as ever, Henk...

#180. 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' - Started off as a Mamas & Papas album track, but was credited to Mama Cass on the single
#181. 'If I Were A Carpenter' - Four Tops
#182. 'Ma Belle Amie' - Tee Set
#183. 'Heroes And Villains' - Beach Boys

Correct.

You thought wrong. :P

Still wrong (see previous answers).

And that one's correct again.


I'm at work now and can't get audio here.

It is one of these two then.....Ringo Starr or Joe Cocker.

Hi Henk, I hope I have the numbers right.

#163...Locomotive Breath.....Jethro Tull?

#168...Celluloid Hereos....The Kinks? (One of my all time favorites.)

#186...2,000 Light Years From Home....The Rolling Stones?

#188...Rebel Rebel....David Bowie?

the website isn't downloading for me today.  :(

I'll try again later

#158 Driving Home For Christmas - Chris Rea
#162 Cry Me A River - Alison Moyet
#195 It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys

If pinhead isn't right on #153 I'll go for Wet, Wet, Wet

Think I'll give up on #153.. definitely Ringo singing... :-\\

#169 Macarthur Park - Richard Harris

number 3 with a little help from my friends the Beatles


When I said "No it isn't" I meant to say: wrong song, right artist. Sorry for the confusion. :-[

Well then the only other one I know for sure by them is:

#172 Don't Answer Me

These are all correct. :)


#158 Driving Home For Christmas - Chris Rea
#162 Cry Me A River - Alison Moyet
#195 It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys


#158 and #195 are correct. #162 has the right artist, but the wrong song.

Now you might wonder what a Christmas song is doing in this list.... It's because the Top 2000 is broadcasted between Christmas and New Year's Eve (non stop, 24/7).


If pinhead isn't right on #153 I'll go for Wet, Wet, Wet


It's not Wet Wet Wet. It's The Beatles. Sorry about the confusion.


Think I'll give up on #153.. definitely Ringo singing... :-\\

#169 Macarthur Park - Richard Harris


Another correct answer.

#158 and #195 are correct. #162 has the right artist, but the wrong song.



I was doubtful about that one to be honest.

Is it That Old Devil Called Love

It is! :)

Hi Henk :)

#177  Fooled Around and Fell in Love - Elvin Bishop

#179  Black Night - Deep Purple

#191 Water of Love - Dire Straits

no one has answered it yet and I'm probably busting the limit by answering but its bugging me...

Thems would all be correct. :)

Limits? Since when did those stop you? ;D

And yes, Sgt Pepper's is what I was looking for.

YAY!  and you're right, I rarely follow rules!  ;D

176. It's my Life by Talk Talk

Your three and two halves make exactly four, Ms Van Tassel. ;)

159 | Joe Cocker ?
178 | Twist in My Sobriety - Tanita Tikaram
198 | Handle With Care
200 | The Hollies ?

159 | Joe Cocker ?


No, not Joe Cocker. I'm sure you know this one, though.


178 | Twist in My Sobriety - Tanita Tikaram
198 | Handle With Care


Correctamundo. 8)


200 | The Hollies ?


I'm afraid that's a 'no' again. The band in question are represented twice in this volume.

The limit is 7 now. Hurry up, guys!

#189 Neil Young
#200 Hitch Hiker? ... sounds like CCR, but I can't get the full title out. I know I am missing something. And of course if I am wrong then Oh Well!!! 8)

Some more from me...

#156 The Unforgettable Fire - U2 ....I can't believe it's still here  :o

#164  Eagle - ABBA

#184  Bryan Hyland

#189  Alabama

Damn  #164 and # 189 are done.... >:(

Okay... 
#175 is Fields Of Gold - Eva Cassidy
#200  sounds awfully like CCR...(damn...THAT one's gone too)

#189 Neil Young
#200 Hitch Hiker? ... sounds like CCR, but I can't get the full title out. I know I am missing something. And of course if I am wrong then Oh Well!!! 8)


#189 is Neil Young, yes.
#200 is indeed CCR. Title is not fully correct, like you already indicated. It needs one more word (to go in front). Maybe some candy will help... ::)

#164  Eagle - ABBA

#184  Bryan Hyland

#189  Alabama


Most of these are correct, but I'm afraid #184 isn't. Quite interestingly, the singer had an American #1 with the same initials as his own name (B.V.)


Damn  #164 and # 189 are done.... >:(

Okay... 
#175 is Fields Of Gold - Eva Cassidy
#200  sounds awfully like CCR...(damn...THAT one's gone too)


Another gem by Eva Cassidy. I'm glad you recognized it. :)

#189 is Neil Young, yes.
#200 is indeed CCR. Title is not fully correct, like you already indicated. It needs one more word (to go in front). Maybe some candy will help... ::)



The Hitch Hiker?
Lost Hitch Hiker?
Sad Hitch Hiker?

aargh!!!

#193....Hello Hooray....Alice Cooper?

The Hitch Hiker?

Tam, I think it's sweet that Henk is willing to give you clues to help you along, I'm sure you'll get it.  ;)


Henk, For some reason #187 sticks in my mind, this is a real shot in the dark but is it;

#187...Distant Drums....Jim Reeves?  (or something along those lines?)

The correct title is :

#193....Hello Hooray....Alice Cooper?

Excellent work on both! :)

The correct title is :

Took you a while to get there, eh? ::) :P ;)

#184. Artist - Bobby Vinton (?)
#185. 'When You Are A King' - White Plains
#192. 'Queen For Tonight' - Helen Shapiro

Aaaaaand that's me done!

#184. Artist - Bobby Vinton (?)
#185. 'When You Are A King' - White Plains
#192. 'Queen For Tonight' - Helen Shapiro

Aaaaaand that's me done!


Those are all correct, Paul. :)

I'm working on hints for the remaining ones.

Don't tell me this one's gonna just fizzle out...  :-\\ :\'(

sorry all the songs I know have been answered...

173 Styx

173 Styx


Is the right band. :) They had a handful of hits, but this song wasn't one of them (well, not in UK or US anyway).

As a last resort: here's a link to the complete Top 2000, 2008 edition.

You can scroll down the list by selecting a hundred from the "BLADER DOOR DE LIJST" option.

#194 Supertramp - Breakfast in America?

Is the right band. :) They had a handful of hits, but this song wasn't one of them (well, not in UK or US anyway).


Babe

#165 Cockney Rebel

#159  I know Elton John used to tour in Long John Baldry's backing band

#194 Supertramp - Breakfast in America?


No, sorry. Wrong band and wrong song - although partially right on the title.


Babe


No, it's not that song. If Charon is the ferryman, what means of transport are we talking? And what exactly is Styx?


#165 Cockney Rebel


That's correct. :) Song title is also Mr Bach's middle name. ;)


#159  I know Elton John used to tour in Long John Baldry's backing band


And that's exactly where he got his last name. :)

No, it's not that song. If Charon is the ferryman, what means of transport are we talking? And what exactly is Styx?




a boat.  Styx is a river

That's correct. :) Song title is also Mr Bach's middle name. ;)



Sebastien

a boat.  Styx is a river


Both answers are correct. And since you've come this close, I'll give you the credits for the title (Boat On The River).  ;)



Sebastien


Yes yes. :)

Time's up, people. Thanks for playing. :)

The remaining ones:

#159: song title is "(Walk Me Out In The) Morning Dew"
#194: was "Breakfast" by Associates. ("Perhaps" is the title of the album)

Cheers Henk. It's been a ton of fun and we'll all miss these quizes!  :\'(
