George came to me with another excellent Snapshots idea, which I then butchered and twisted to my own ends, partly because:
a) There were too many well-know artists in his list (some of whom had featured here very recently) and I've set myself an ever-increasingly difficult target of trying to include some artists every week who have never been on Snapshots before.
b) I wanted to take his idea in a slightly different direction... which I can't say any more about as it might give you an unnecessary clue.
c) I think it was possibly too easy and you guys are getting far too smart.
Anyway, thank you George, and everyone else who has offered Guest Posts recently. But please be warned that if you do offer an idea, and I might bastardise it to my own bizarre purposes. Sorry if that seems ungrateful!
Anyway, here are some pop stars. How are their songs connected?
15. The very latest in toy soldiers.
14. Often killed in avalanches.
13. Just saying, it follows Burt… but only so far.
12. Post pride.
11. De Niro is waiting for Howard’s End.
10. Humming, Thunder, Surfing.
9. Some were talking to Jesus and Mary, the rest were saved for the Brotherhood.
8. They’ll never be stale.
7. When you hear the bing, the whiskey will be fermented, so grit your teeth till then.
6. Where pretty penguins live.
5. An O.J. Celeb.
4. Caroline is determined.
3. Soviet strikers.
2. Spill the milk wide.
1. Silence was golden when he was a child.

No. But Alyson has the order part correct. It's just not 1-15.
