I was born in 62 and recall most of them. Started enjoying the Beatles and moved onto Pink Floyd. Preferred rock which is why I know many of the songs of 70's up to the mid 80's but it's the artists that trip me up, especially the soul and Motown stuff. Like them considerably more now though.

31 is ringing no bells at all, so ain't getting that one. The other two I'm still working on.
|
|
By:
31 is one of the great singer songwriters, passed away 3 years ago tomorrow.
Second line is " in a room where you do what you don't confess". The two lines together make one of the greatest opening couplets ever imo  |
|
By:
And the song title for 31 is something that will be happening in just under 3 hours time depending on where you live in the country !
|

Still none the wiser, not even a small rattle going on upstairs
Sunset something or other? |
|
By:
Almost right , just one word meaning the same

36 Hey hey the clouds are whey Going to see a version of these in a bit. Will have a look at previous questions on the train in. |

By:
31, 33 & 34 PoP, although 31 is probably cracked, or close too it

33 is PIL isn’t it. The amazing Keith Levine. One of the best at it.
|
|
By:
Correct PoP, Public Image , great song
Aspro - Sundown is correct, hurrah ! The great Gordon lightfoot, revered by none other than Bob Dylan |
|
By:
Thanks PoP... never would have got that one. I wouldn't have got Sundown either, but finally the penny has dropped on 35...
T.Rex - Jeepster Sometimes you just have to walk away for a bit |
|
By:
36 - Senses Working Overtime - XTC, Swindon's fInest !
Clue for number 34 - the iconic lead singer of this band came a cropper when driven by tainted love |
|
By:
you didn't need my clue Aspro
|
|
By:
Probably needed your guidance on the correct number though
|
|
By:
 I was quite proud of that cryptic clue as well, will have to act quicker in future |
|
By:
37) They do it down on Camber Sands
38) Look up on the wall, there on the floor 39) I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind 40) If I leave here tomorrow |
|
By:
36 did ring a bell for me, but thought I was imagining it... until I heard the answer
 |
|
By:
one of your senses not working overtime then Aspro
39 is Crazy I know 40 but feel like i'm cheating as i only heard it a few hours back on Radio Caroline - the song is a true epic |
|
By:
say it Dixie, they're not exactly road-runner on here.
Who sang 39 DD? |
|
By:
Gnarls Barkley i believe ?
Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, classic |
|
By:
I dedicate my life to #40. Was never short, but could never go the distance.
Yes it was GB... 2 to go |
|
By:
It was also one of my poker aliases
|
|
By:
When 37 is finally revealed, I heard on the radio today that they've released a new album, with all (or most) songs written 50 years ago, no less. May interest a few on here.
|
|
By:
As i mentioned earlier Aspro, i am an avid Radio Caroline listener and believe i know the band you are referring to as they have been playing some tracks from that album for a few weeks now. Unless there is more than one band that fit the description of course ! Cannot think of the song in the question at the moment though....
|
|
By:
Just to check if you're on the right wavelength. Do they have a pianist?
|
|
By:
Yes and he lives in a castle not far from me
The album is also named after one of my favourite bets, three doubles and a treble. |
|
By:
I didn't catch the album name or know he lives in a castle, but they did play one of the tracks. Not quite as catchy but I'd have to hear the full album to pass judgement
|

T.REX
|
|
By:
It's called Trixies and Caroline have been playing the title track often (both parts one and two).
JH owns the house at Cooling Castle, near Rochester. Whispering Death encountered him one day whilst out cycling i believe. |
|
By:
Just looked it up and yes, you obviously know the band but what is the title
 It is one of their hits |
|
By:
I went to a Funeral wake at the Castle.. very apt decor
|
|
By:
what number string? - not one of mine though
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Other cooking fats are available String
Still working on the title Aspro, they have had so many hits of corse |
