I thought that #15 was Iris, but I wasn't sure I was right, so I substituted it with a song I was 100% sure about.

cool quiz :)

#11- Knocking On Heaven's Door (G'n'R version, I believe)

#13- Rock Around the Clock- Bill Haley & His Comets

#16- I'd Lie For You (& That's the Truth)- Meat Loaf

15. "You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen"

I think this one is Iris by the Goo goo dolls ??

The lyrics dont seem correct to me, but the structure of the lyrics do......thats why I am guessing that :)

Im probably wrong anyway.

Hiya Karen and Paul

I'm back from holiday (again) and I've spotted that #14 is "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love?" by the (Detroit) Spinners.

I recall it was also covered in the 80s by a UK duet, Jaki Graham and David Grant I think (sure Paul will help me out here!  ::)  ;))

No help needed, Graham...for that's exactly who they were!

It turned out to the be the biggest hit either of them ever had...not a patch on the original tho'...

For some reason #16 sounds like something Barry White would have said crooned mumbled sang....
