34 was a late(r) 70's track that reached #5 in the UK. Should be known by most of you.
One could move the comma to before "baby" ... that might help |
|
By:
Because the night, Patti Smith, moving comma gave it away

As a floyd fan Aspro, what did you think of Animals ? It divided opinion when released but i loved it, mainly because Caroline played it all the time.
I was reminded of it at lunchtime as they played the full length version of Sheep on the station. A cracking half hour that was as they followed it up with Disco Boy by Frank Zappa and Heart's live version of Stairway To Heaven. Best radio station ever |

By:
Congrats YHTL! I thought that might help. That's how I get a lot of them by toying with different ways to say the line

I love Sheep, it is 2nd only behind Comfortably Numb out of all their tracks. The album in its entirety is a bit hit and miss, but Sheep does stand out alone.

29...This hit, that ice cold..... Bruno Mars sings on this...
30...Looking so good, it's a darn god shame, that they couldn't all be mine Sugarbabes did same song, with different words. |

29's Uptown Funk. So obvious now.

38) Down in a tube station at midnight - The Jam
Will have to work on the rest |

By:
37) Cat's in the cradle - Guns N Roses

By:
Took me 4 hours to get that one
|
|
By:
38 correct Aspro
37 was a US number one in the 70s by a singer dubbed the "master storyteller" and i would concur with that description. Sadly killed in a road crash in 1981 travelling to a charity benefit gig. A cover version by an American rock band reached the top 10 here in 1992. 40 is the first hit from 2002 for a band from the North West |
|
By:
I'm wrong with 37?
|
|
By:
Correct title for 37 Aspro, but it was Ugly Kid Joe who had the hit here !
Harry Chapin wrote it, an absolute master song writer and all round good guy. Got wiped out by a truck in the above accident, family got 12m dollars compo  a lot of money back then. |
|
By:
Well blow me, coulda sworn it was GnR... I stand corrected
 |
|
By:
37 was covered by Ugly Kid Joe. Had in my head that the original was by Donovan but obviously not.
|
|
By:
40/ I keep hearing olly murs, but not him here. Lol
|
|
By:
Dreaming of You
|
|
By:
That's being sewed into the grey matter should it ever come again. On today's PopMaster Patti Smith came up as one of the questions. Which year? I was one year out
|
|
By:
I saw ugly kid Joe with bon Jovi in gateshead
I do also associate that song with guns n roses, maybe they did it on UK TV that we've seen? https://youtu.be/wEQ2X2TAbgU .. |
|
By:
Nah, the comments are disputing it too. UKJ appears to be correct but good to know I'm not alone in my naivety
|
|
By:
Oh sure ukj is correct, but we must have seen the g&r
version for it to stick. Bon Jovi wore an ukj t shirt at the concert. And of course jbj covered it too.. https://youtu.be/YLC9E1UsVhc .. Not sure who does it best!!! |
|
By:
Ha ha wrong link, or that's not jbj.
|
|
By:
Who does it best YHTL ? - Harry Chapin wrote it and does the best version , the guy was a genius - WOLD, Taxi, A better place to be etc , all lyrical excellence
. 40 - correct PoP, thought you would get that one Dreaming Of You by The Coral, loved the Coral Island stuff they did recently. |
|
By:
36 - Hit at the end of the 70s, very well known romantic number by female singer, certainly her best known song.
Digressing slightly, my old school mate was her drummer on tour for a time in the 80s |
|
By:
39 - 1980 hit , first single for UK rock band, fronted by one of the best vocalists in the genre who had previously been lead singer for a mega rock band in the mid 70s
|
|
By:
39 feels like it should be Whitesnake then. Only really know their 1987 stuff well though.
|
|
By:
Correct with Whitesnake PoP, anyone else know the song ?
|
|
By:
btw PoP, you will probably know it as it was re-recorded for an album of theirs in 1989
|
|
By:
The only big early one I know is Fool for your loving no more, so I'll go for that.
Saw them twenty years ago supporting Def Leppard. Still pretty good, though Coverdale officially retired from singing recently. |
|
By:
39 Correct

Just number 36 to go. Big blond hair and could have done an ad for Colgate
