You’ve right on 7 and 9. For 1 and 6 you’ve guessed the song, but I’ve never seen Muse live.

And 5 isn’t unfair. It’s all in the archives, if you know where to look.

Remember, I was at the MA convention. Half the songs come from that weekend

And I really can’t believe you can’t guess #2

Well, 9 is clearly Karnataka’s Talk To Me, as performed by The Reasoning…

7 would be Jethro Tull’s The Witches Promise as read by Odin Dragonfly. Song 1 is Feelin’ Good – are we talking about Muse here? Song 6 is Muse’s Plug In Baby, but I’ve got no idea who covered it! And come on, 5 is a bit unfair, innit? Unless you count Focus’s Hocus Focus as an instrumental – Marillion played that at their convention in Holland…

How am I doing?

Yes, you’ve guessed the song. But not the band that played it

Here come old typo…

Doh! When I say “Come Together” I mean, of course, “I Am The Walrus”. It was when I was thinking “maybe it’s the Oasis cover” I realised I’d typed the wrong title.

#3 is “Come Together” by the Beatles.

For maximum ironic effect, #5 should be 4’33″ by John Cage…… but I suspect it isn’t.

None of the others rings a bell right now, though I suspect I’ll kick myself later.
