Right I'm going to get in first so I get all the easy ones. And the easy ones are all I can cope with right now, too many exams have fried my poor little brain.

3-Black Sabbath
9-Gerry and the Pacemakers
12-UB40
16-Rolling Stones
17-Adam and the Ants
23-Billie Holiday
27-simply red

19 is Alice Cooper.

Oh this is so annoying, I did them and I having ransacked my bedroom I can't find the sheet I wrote them on...I can offer you two years of revision notes for psychology? Is that any good? Oh well the only other one I can remember is Guns and Roses which I think is 16 or it could be 15 I don't actually have the sheet so I can't remember

O.K I've remembered some of the others now.
5) Meat Loaf
7) Hot Chocolate
10) Fleetwood Mac
13) Max Bygrave
14) The Stranglers
21) Spinal Tap
24) Frankie Goes To Hollywood

This may be a long shot but is 13 the Greatful Dead.

Hmmm, isn't it Max Bygraves as in macs (raincoats) by (found in) grave (cemetary) it's appaling but obvious after a while
I remembered 4) as well, its Cher

Wow the things you do instead of proper work.
I'm pretty new to H2G2 so Hi everyone btw!

Well at least you found the pub.

Hello, I'm the barman by the way.

Nice to meet you, I'm L-J. Allow me to get the next round in that case. Nice place you've got here

*pours *

Here you go.

hmmm, is anyone still serving? Can I have some Calpol please? *cough cough, ack, splutter* eeeargh
Lightning Seeds, v impressed, I couldn't get that one Hi L-J

*pours *

Here you go, hope the cough clears up soon.

Thanks, do you think this counts as veering off topic?

I think thats expected after the first 10 posts anyway.

We're supposed to last for ten? hmmm, a bit optimistic isn't it

All optimism aside...can I've a drink? PLEASE? It doesn't matter than I'm 6 months or so underage, does it? Actually, what IS the h2g2 legal drinking age? Is there one?

Well, as the servers are based in the UK I would have to say that anyone can have a drink. You just have to be 18 to buy it.
