Objective: Listen to the clips and try to figure out the song and artist.

Rules

1. There are two answers per clip; Song and Artist. You get one guess for each.
2. Each clip is worth 10 points, 5 for the song title and 5 for the artist. You do not need to answer both if you only know one of the two.
3. For a movie/television theme, I simply want the artist and the name of the film or TV series. You do not have to supply the song name.
4. Answers must be sent by PM. You can send as many PMs as you wish according to the above rules.

Notes

1. The genres below are just basic guidelines and refer to the artist's general type of music rather than the actual song itself.
2. I do not own recordings of most of the songs and hence cannot verify the veracity of my playing. They are either figured out off the top of my head from how I remember them, or learned from online resources that are usually without proper notation and often written by tone-deaf monkeys. This means that the notes may not be 100% accurate and tempo and timing may be slightly off. This shouldn't be too huge of a problem, but I give the disclaimer nonetheless.
3. I may screw with your head by playing classical pieces in a heavy metal guitar solo style or playing a distorted rock song on a classical guitar. It is part of the challenge. Don't expect carbon copies of the songs.

1. Rock/Pop - 80s

2. Metal - 80s

3. Rock - 80s

4. TV Show Theme - 70s

5. Rock - 70s

6. Latin - 50s

7. Rock - 80s

8. Rock - 60s

9. Rock - 80s

10. Rock - 60s

11. Movie Theme - 80s

12. Rock - 80s

13. Classical

14. R&B/Rock - 70s

15. Rock - 70s


~700k  Zip file of all 15

Do NOT post answers in this thread

The contest is over a week from today

The best I can do is 10, assuming I'm correct.

I'm having the most trouble with #2. It could be any one of about five songs. I need to hear more to rule out some of them.

LOL, yes, there is some strategies in this game!  That would be called 'blocking' a song so that others struggle more with it, hehehehehe!
Besides, I didn't have to guess, I knew that one....

Yes you were. You could have blocked everybody on that one. The riff I just played basically gives the song away completely, which is why I chose the far less obvious riff initially.

arrrgh! curse my lack of time! I could've blocked everybody on no. 13! I knew it, because I know the metal version of that song and your version sounded very similar.

I'm so annoyed that I have no time to work on these quizzes!
