#17 is Rich Girl by Hall and Oates. Recently, I heard this song at work and got in a debate with a co-worker who thought it was the Bee Gees. She had to google the answer to until she finally believed I was right ;D
and speaking of The Bee Gees, that is them with 'How Deep is Your Love' at #19
Some others are familiar, but I am drawing blanks. As always though, a fine quiz :)

How on earth could she think it was The Bee Gees? It doesn't sound anything like them! :o

Your two answers are correct...and thanks for the nice comments! 8)
