Re #63 - Sylvia Tatler's name rang bells because she was in the papers recently. I could recall the picture but not the name of the group.
Should've twigged #64 - could be stripped of citizenship.
BTW thanks for the quiz Stoneboat.

Lots of stuff left yet. I now realize the lyrics questions are probably pretty difficult. My taste in music hasn't evolved much, I'm not a great fan of contemporary music, preferring - with a few exceptions - 'local' indie bands instead of the mainstream stuff. The problem with that is, I post this for mainly international players who have never heard of many of those artists, therefore I use a lot of music from the ...ahem...last century.
