19 is Jukebox Hero - Foreigner

262

1 is Refugee by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

5 is The River by Bruce Springsteen

7 is Dire Straits but don’t know the name of the song
Edit: it’s the track after Romeo & Juliet on whatever album it’s on. We use Spotify at work, and every Dire Straits album gets a run at least once a fortnight

Keep going…your process is working…everything you’ve said about number 7 is right so far :slight_smile:

I left it, but seeing you’re halfway there, Skateaway.

Listening to Making Movies (after Bird Noises) right now. Thanks to this thread. :slight_smile:

265

I’m listening to Peter Gabriel 3 myself (there’s a clue…). Has reminded me what a great album it is…

266

Onya BSD

It wasn’t a “oh gee I can’t quite remember the name” moment - I flat out don’t know what it’s called. I’m sitting here humming along with the riff in my head but that doesn’t translate well to text.

267

Without knowing the song at all, and based on the lyrics alone, I’m going to guess that #6 is Cold Chisel

268
  1. Cold Chisel - Tomorrow
  2. Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers(?)
269

You guys are smashing through this one…only three to go…numbers 4, 8 & 16

  1. Against the Wind

Bob Seger

Ah damn, I didn’t realise we’re in the 80s now. Hopefully I catch the next one!

272

Too late again. Only one left, and l can’t recall it at all.

Yep. Storm The Bastille.

276

Aah yes that’s it.

277

8 is Joe Jackson but I can’t think of the song title. Is it They’re all the Same?
Saw him a few times in the 80s. Wonder what happened to him? Was a brilliant song writer.

Yes, it is Joe Jackson so now we just need a song title.

I’ve seen him play live three times and every time was brilliant.

He is still making music and actually has a new album due next month.

I should watch out for it. Him and Elvis Costello were probs the highlights of the 80s for me with their live shows. Absolutely brilliant showmen.

Right… because you’re firmly in my era now, and because I’m keen for a new quiz, I’ll finish things off.

It’s Joe Jackson - Beat Crazy… Fantastic musician. His first few albums were excellent, and his long-standing bassplayer (Graham Maby) is a fabulous exponent of 4-stringsmanship!!
