I like what James did recently, maybe give another song by the artist? I doubt the dates would help me either.

Yes, what sort of clues would people like? Cryptic ones pointing to the names, or triva about the bands/artists involved?

I can tell you now that HappyCamper was very close with number 9, the principal member of the band was in E.S.T.

Maybe some more songs or something specific about the artists or perhaps the years the songs were out in. I doubt I'll get any more to be honest but I'm sure the others will.

Yes, this forum doesn't seem to recognise double spaces. Out of habit I always put a double space after a full stop and the forum always concatenates them into a single.

I'll have an E please Bob!
