    But only slightly easier David

    1 point for number 8.

    Number 10 is the wrong artist!

    Doh! Process of elimination tells me who it must be then, but I don't want to contaminate my keyboard typing in the name. [Actually, some of their stuff is OK, it's just the name I can't handle...]

    Quick David, give Steve the BJ that he's requested!








    Bon Jovi, of course. What else could I have meant?

    Sorry to hijack your thread!

    I thought I'd give you a chance to compete, too Steve, so here's one I've prepared!

    1. I feel I'm a leaf in the November snow
    2. Making all the music he can make
    3. These vagabond shoes
    4. People have died to set you free
    5. The winds of change are always blowing
    6. Now baby maybe, maybe she«s in need of a kiss
    7. How did you know I'd give my heart gladly?
    8. Lord knows I'm not a schoolgirl
    9. They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
    10. It's obvious you hate me, though I've done nothing wrong

    Usual rules apply.

    Hmmmm......

    Okie I'll have a go.

    Number 3. New York, New York. Frank Sinatra (And many others)

    Number 5. To all the girls I've loved before. Julio Inglesias

    Number 6. All right now. Free

    Number 8. Mad about the boy. The version I have is by Dinah Washington. Though I'm sure that many others have done that one too....

    Number 9. Dancing in the Street. Mick Jagger & David Bowie recently, think it was maybe someone like Tammy Tyrell who did it originally, and Rod Stewart & Tina Turner also did a version I believe (and yet again, probably many others)

    Don't see a theme yet though I'll keep working on it!

    Still no joy on a theme though!

    5 points to The Tramp for 3,6,7,8 and 9. 1 point to Lou. You're so close on 5, Steve, but the artist isn't quite correct. You might need one more track to get the theme.

    Okay, you have another 24 hours on this one.

    Here's where it stands:

    1. I feel I'm a leaf in the November snow
    2. Making all the music he can make
    3. The Tramp
    4. People have died to set you free
    5. The winds of change are always blowing
    6. The Tramp
    7. The Tramp
    8. The Tramp
    9. The Tramp
    10. Lou

    Steve had the right song for 5 but the artist credit wasn't exactly right. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it was Bowie and Jagger who won him the point on 9. Of those remaining, 1 and 4 are quite hard, but I'm amazed nobody's got 2. As it may help you with the theme, here's the answers so far:

    1.
    2.
    3. New York, New York (Frank Sinatra)
    4.
    5. To All the Girls I've Loved Before
    6. All Right Now (Free)
    7. You Sexy Thing (Hot Chocolate)
    8. Mad About the Boy (Dinah Washington)
    9. Dancing in the Streets (David Bowie and Mick Jagger)
    10. People are People (Depeche Mode)

    Okie. The guy sitting next to me at work reckons that someone called Willie Nelson also sang To All the Girls I've Loved Before.

    If he's right, I'll share 1/2 of the point with him.

    Honest!

    Okay, I'll give you the point (to share as you see fit!). The version I had in mind was by Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson, which hit the UK top 20 in May 1984.

    Incidentally, as another hint, the actual artists I chose don't really have a lot to do with the theme.

    Okay, time for some more clues. 1 and 2 both hit UK number 1 in 1982. 4 was the first UK chart hit for a US female group in 1974.

    Search engines can be used after 4pm.

    No.

    4 was a hit but not a number one. And ole blue eyes didn't top the charts with New York New York either.
