The Dylan one is "Don't think twice, it's alright"...not sure if that's the actual title on the album.

I'm fascinated by number 15!!

Bing!

Look, Skanky, none of them are by Bing. Just because it's your quiz doesn't mean you can get away with not playing by the rules.

Bix Beiderbecke!

Er... Jelly Roll, anyone?

All the ones I know have been gotten already, but glad to see this! More people should do these.

Is some of my taste too obscure, do you think? And has anyone seen Gosho?

Yes and yes.

"More people should do these."

Here's one, not necessarily reflecting my tastes... F1733543?thread=4044026

Oh and I've seen Gosho - he was queueing next to Gnomon at a pub in Princetown...

Oh Rich!

I'm not up for this at mid-night.

No. I can't identify any of those.

But give me a classical tune and I'll usually tell you what it is. Sometimes even if I haven't heard it before. On one occasion, I correctly identified the piece and the composer although I had never heard the piece or anything else by that composer before.

I'm definitely feeling my age

23 is Damien Rice, Cannonball.

Well done FF, Jon and Elentari! And apologies to Gnomon. I'll try to tap out some classical music next time
