The Glorious 10th: Hello Update

So we've reached (approximately) the halfway point on the Glorious 10th Hello Challenge: time for a quick update.

So far you have guessed 6 of my Top 10, and one of you (I think) has correctly identified my Number One (though a number of you have guessed that it will be included). Sadly there's no Status Quo (sorry, Jez) as despite them naming the album above 'Hello', they never bothered to write a title track for it.

Anyway, here are some clues for the ones still outstanding...


10. A very angry man who seems pretty sweet when you hear him talking on the radio.

9. A band that were a shadow of their former self after the loss of a key member. Still managed the occasional gem though.

8. A forgotten Britpop band formed by half of a more famous group.

4. The one you won't get because it's so obscure even I hadn't heard of it until I took a shot in the dark. It will be my pleasure to introduce this artist to you on the 10th.


Let's see if any of that helps.

BONUS ROUND!

There are 22 artists pictured in the header I created to accompany this feature. How many can you name...?

And finally, here's another great Hello song that sadly I couldn't include in the Top Ten because it wasn't called simply 'Hello'. I can foresee the rules to this competition evolving with time...
