I've never done one of these Cryptic quizzes before - so I'm not sure if you're looking for the song title or artists beginning with 'b'?? If its artists then my first guess for 6 is James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover??? I bet I'm comepletly wrong though :P :)

Hiya hawk - good job  :) !

Here's my guesses....

Written By: Doc Brown on 08/31/06 at 9:21 am

Good work Hawk, I think these are a little tougher than mine. Here are my first 4:

5. World Provider, "Big City Girls"
6. Everly Brothers, "Bye Bye Love" (not a fan :P, it just came to mind)
10. Eagles, (The)"Best Of My Love"
11. Sweet, "Ballroom Blitz"

More to come, I hope!

Your Pal,
Doc

It's easy, Criz.

Here's how these work:
Each clue gives a hint to a song title.
All song titles start with the same letter.
Now, one song in each list has been done by more than one artist.
That song is worth bonus points.

Hope this helps!

Sorry!

Nice quiz Hawk, though it's driving me nuts.

#8 is still blank so I'm assuming maddog was incorrect, so on that note.

#8....Big Ole Butt....LL Cool J?

You're thinking along the right lines, but not quite hitting it.
Name is slightly different, and the artist is totally different.

However, I give karma to Loki for Spinal Tap. Wish I'd thought of it!

I believe #9 was recorded by Miles Davis.

Good guesses, but no.

On #15- "Beth" is a fairly common name, or shortening thereof.
This one is a bit more obscure.

#13- I can't even comment on that, considering who my mother is. (Nice thought, tho'.)

15. Brandy? - Looking Glass

Subject: Re: CryptiQuiz: Plan "B" Has Arrived!

Written By: HawkTheSlayer on 09/01/06 at 1:45 pm

No, afraid not.

The clue is:
15. Unusual female's first name...

Names such as "Beth", "Brandy" and "Betty" are quite common.
Think more obscure...
Think early '80s.

I've been racking my brains about #2 Hawk, the only thing I can come up with is "Bringing On The Heartache", which is a Mariah Carey song, I think....

Subject: Re: CryptiQuiz: Plan "B" Has Arrived!

Written By: Sister Morphine on 09/03/06 at 2:18 pm

Bringing on the Heartache was also done by Def Leppard.

Hey hawk, I keep coming back here and wracking my brain.  ???
I'll take a stab at this one:

#15...Beulah....Devo?

Subject: Re: CryptiQuiz: Plan "B" Has Arrived!

Written By: loki 13 on 09/03/06 at 6:52 pm

I'll try another,

#14..Bang Bang (You're Dead)...Ozzy Osbourne?

Subject: Re: CryptiQuiz: Plan "B" Has Arrived! (CLUES ADDED)

Written By: loki 13 on 09/03/06 at 7:52 pm

OK, based on your clue;

#13...Boy Crazy...The Tubes?

Subject: Re: CryptiQuiz: Plan "B" Has Arrived! (6 LEFT, CLUES ADDED, NO LIMIT)

Written By: HawkTheSlayer on 09/05/06 at 5:06 am

Some good answers coming out, here!

A few of 'em makes me wish I'd've thought of 'em!

For you stumped on #15: Think 1981, and a phone number...

Subject: Re: CryptiQuiz: Plan "B" Has Arrived! (6 LEFT, CLUES ADDED, NO LIMIT)

Written By: Doc Brown on 09/05/06 at 11:33 am

Still thinking, but I only nailed one more so far:
3. Aerosmith, "Big Ten Inch Record"

Make that two!
15. Tommy Tutone, "Bernadiah" (think of a phone number, very clever! ;D)

Anything to hold the lead!  ;) Well, not anything.

Your Pal,
Doc

No, Mordor...

That song starts with "F", and we're only on the "B" List!

Nice thought, tho'...

Here's a hint: If you think comedy, this group did 2 songs that COULD be related to each other...

4.Peter Gabriel

All that fits #4 is "Big Time", though I don't get the clue. Never was a Brady Bunch fan!

One left, and we can hit the "C" List!
