A musical quiz vaguely inspired by daturabelle

[fbhjr]

When I first friended daturabelle, she had a quiz for folks
about how well they knew her. That was an interesting idea for a bunch of
folks who had only just met her, and that electronically.

I’ve been trying to do something similar, but not quite the same.

What occurred to me was music. I like music a lot. On my various
listening devices I rate the songs and often play the songs by how much I
rate them.
I have no one top song. But, a bunch of songs I like most in most cases.

My top rated ones are not the ones I really think are the best songs, best
performed or anything like that.
They are the ones that when I hear I have trouble NOT singing along.

The quiz part is to see if folks can guess what songs they are.
I will say who does them.
Then see who can guess the most of the individual songs.

Some will be easy as they didn’t do many songs. Some hard as they did
tons. And, I rarely like their most famous ones best.

So, what do you think I listen to?

Yes to #3, #7, #15 & #37.
Extra credit for #20 as I think that is a better song, but I sing along more to another one.

[evrgreen.livejournal.com]

Oh come ON!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE that I got #4 wrong!!! :)

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

Sorry, it's "Dancing in the Ruins".
I consider it my personal theme song.
Came out back when we were working at NED...

[evrgreen.livejournal.com]

Well, OK.... but GODZILLA !!! With so many Godzillas in your house, how can it NOT be your favorite? Poor inflatable Godzilla/Gojira may lose some PSI over this.. ;)

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

Actually, I haven't been able to get him to keep pressure in a while...

[manue7a.livejournal.com]

I'm curious about the solution.

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

I will post it when folks seem to have stopped guessing.

[hotclaws.livejournal.com]

Gosh,I'll have to come back to this but I have Solsbury Hill in my head now.
