Quiz #8
Hopefully you've been waiting for it
- and here it is - NMLQOTM #8.
This time around, your challenge is
to identify the 26 songs that I have presented below. The
songs in this edition of the quiz cover the period from
1958 to 1993, and there is a definite theme that links
all 26 songs in the quiz together. Do your best to solve
the theme puzzle - it might assist you in your
identification of troublesome songs. Correct
identification of the theme is also used to resolve any
ties in determining the highest scoring player(s) each
quiz.
As always, the lyrics are presented
in alphabetical order by artist - be sure to provide the
artist and title as identified on the record release.
If you are new to the NMLQOTM - or
even if you've played a while now - it's always helpful
to review the official rules. Note that
precision counts when it comes to scoring the submissions
- be sure to give the exact song title and the exact
artist attribution for each song; dot your "i"s
and cross your "t"s!
The submission deadline for this
quiz will be Friday, February 11th at 11:59 pm (eastern).
