    I'm impressed - the first one I got was wrong cos I thought it was Sandy Shaw and not Beach Boys. The 2 you've got left are the trickiest - guess you could have worked that out. The last one is quite clever and the one in the middle is a name I've never heard of before this.

    Well done SilverFox!

    I couldn't get that one - even though I'd worked it out that it had something to do with Stevie, but I couldn't get past Stevie Nicks!

    One more - you want a clue? Cos its really obscure... (if they indeed exist...)
