h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll come back to some later:

2. The Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next.
5. The Divine Comedy - The National Express.
11. Summer in the City (I'll figure out who the artist is later)
12. David Gray - Babylon (definitely not Pulp).

Turn this into the Master B and Bagpuss combined effort, because I can't be bothered to do them all myself

1) Lightning Seeds - Life Of Riley
8) Not A Dry Eye In The House - Meatloaf

Definitely know No. 9 as well...

So between the two of us, we nearly have half of them. What a team.

When I ran a lyrics quiz at Uni, I always used to get slagged off because of the difficulty setting. It's such a difficult concept, because lyrics are likely to pass you by, unless you know the song *very, very* well (which doesn't say much for my music tastes, given my two answers above - I did get the Manics and David Gray as well, though).

Heck, I bet I could set a really obscure one. I think Purple Moose limits himself to singles, but still.

I did check the artist for no. 11 but I've forgotten.
