Hiya Maddog!

All of those are correct, although on #14 I was looking for Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods.  Seeing as Paper Lace did indeed do that song I will still give you credit.  But you'd better remember this one for next time!  ;)

Wow, I guess when I'm away from the site for only a few hours, a new quiz pops up and the answers go fast! Anyway, the last one is "Beautiful" by Marillion (is that the name of the group?).

7. Baby Come Back - Player

You know I was really shocked at how fast these ones went.  I didn't think my quiz was that easy!  :o

I'm also very surprised that you got this last one, nally, as it is a rather obscure song by a band that didn't get that much airplay in the U.S.  Marillion is indeed a group that was originally headed by lead singer Fish (before he left).  This particular song has always been a favorite of mine.  :)

Hee hee!  ;D

Darn! My computer crashed and I just got it back....looks like I missed all the fun of this quiz :-\\

Sorry about that, Mark.  I will posting the 'C' quiz momentarily, so maybe you'll have a chance with that one.  :)
