56 correct - We'll settle on Traffic
 60 also correct - the band still going strong YHTL, new album out last year |
|
By:
Don't know any of these but reminded I need to listen to some Traffic. They've just passed me by, but I know Mark Radcliffe is a huge fan of them.

By:
58 - early 80s, Scottish outfit with a fairly unique sound, charismatic but troubled lead singer
59 - beautiful song, female folky artist ,amazing to think she was only 19 when she wrote it, recorded by her both as a solo artist and with the band she was part of (probably one of the most revered UK folk rock bands). |

57 - anthemic song from a band who might help you wake up..
|

By:
58 - song is correct yhtl.
for some reason my post confirming the band were The Associates has been deleted or simply not accepted . This is getting silly now. I did remark on the sad demise of Billy Mackenzie but nothing to cause any offence or anything  |

73 - Starman - David Bowie...FINALLY!
72 sounds like it could be Dana (bit of guess here) - All kinds of everything? |
|
By:
If you had added "oh oh" on the end of Bowie's it would have been a lot easier
|
|
By:
yeah, 72's All kinds of Everything isn't it
Pretty sure 75 is Ian Dury (pretty obviously) but can't think of the song. |

By:
Cheers PoP... the words fit, but it was a bit of a guess as I don't really know the lyrics.

75 is Ian dury, Billericay Dickie |

Don't think anyone got my numbers 57 and 59 (unless the delete monkeys have been at play again)
57 - And now they're trying to take my life away - The Alarm, 68 Guns 59 - Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving - Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention, Who knows where the time goes ? Apparently one of the most chosen songs for funerals, Sandy herself died at just 31 years of age, tragic story |
|
By:
The alarm... should have got that one.
71/ Teenage had a race for the night time Spent my cash on every high I could find Wasted time in every school in L.A. Getting loose, I didn't care what the kids say USA band, cult hit, no28 in UK charts 74/ Scottish singer songwriter, also wrote for otters such as cliff Richard, including one that was played a lot during Boris Johnson pm ship.

As the forum's number one Leonard Cohen fan, i had to get Number 79 - The Future (absolutely cracking song, other forumites may recall it from the credits of Natural Born Killers) . I saw Leonard perform it on Jools Holland's Later over 30 years ago, along with another brilliant song Dance Me To The End Of Love. That performance changed my perception of his music and i've loved it ever since. The greatest lyricist ever imo.
Ref Number 78 - as a pedant i have to point out that Without You was originally written and recorded by the ill fated duo Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger. So sad what fate dealt that band, more victims of the unscrupulous Stan Polley could have been huge. |
