    8 fairly well known songs in there, have a listen and scribble down what you think. You can use the spoiler tags or not, anyone else just scroll down if you don't want to see the answers that others have put down. :) Enjoy.

    Link to soundclip here!

    P.S-If this is successful, I might include some prize in the future like a 2 euro voucher or something small from CDWOW.

    Oh tough!
    1. ?
    2. Communards - Don't leave me this way
    3. Matt Wilder - Nothings going to break my stride (or something similar)
    4. Fergal Sharkey - A good heart
    5. ABC - The look of love
    6. Pet Shop Boys - Always on my mind (?)
    7. Tiffany - I think we're alone now
    8. Van Morrison - Have I told you lately (?)

    Not sure about some of them, particularly 6 and 8. I'm pretty sure that I have the correct band for number 6, not sure about the song. Nice one Ruu.

    Argh, number 1 is driving me mad, I can hear the chorus and everything but just can't get the band or song title. Even one would give me the other.

    There are three notes in the last piece that made me choose the guess I went with but now that I know it's wrong I'm completely lost.

    Heh, good game, reminds me of that quiz they used to have on the 104 phone show years ago.

    The last one is a fairly common too, I think it was a remake of the original and could have been done not so long ago also. I'll post the full list in a few days.
