It certainly is!

1. One For The Road - Arctic Monkeys (Prop)
2. Two Cousins
3. Three Imaginary Boys - The Cure (Reg)
4. Four Kicks - Kings Of Leon (Iranu)
5. Five Deadly Venoms
6. Six Underground - Sneaker Pimps (Prop)
7. Seven Nation Army - White Stripes (Prop)
8. Eight Miles High - The Byrds (HappyCamper)
9. Nine To Five - Dolly Parton (Prop)
10. Ten Storey Love Song - The Stone Roses (Prop)

Prop cannot now be caught and is assured of the win, but here's a couple of clues for the last two anyway:

2. is an English duo, Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor. They released five albums in between 2006 and 2017 before splitting. Both now release as solo artists, Rebecca Taylor under the name Self Esteem.

5. is the main alias of an English DJ and musician, J. Saul Kane, active since 1987. He was a pioneer in the use of samples (particularly from obscure kung-fu films) and is sometimes credited with the invention of both trip-hop and big beat.

It’s not impossible…

I’ll leave it to see if anyone else comes in for the final track before I go to clues

Re: The Greatest Hits Quiz!

Postby Prop

Time for clues…

The remaining track comes from an album released in 1996.

The frontman has a love of performance cars and race cars, owning a mk2 RS2000 and Sierra Cosworth amongst others. He became a director at Crystal Palace FC in 2012, and went on to form another band in recent years known as the E-Type Boys.

Their biggest hit is used as a walk-on by a current professional snooker player.

Singer-songwriter Dido has worked with the group on several occasions, being the younger sister of a permanent member of the group.
