  1. 5. Neil Young

    With his vast back catalogue not easy to look for a link from him alone. Will look at the others.

    1. Must be, not least because I can't think of a 'horse' song for Donovan.

      So 10 is Metallica, Enter Sandman

      And 7 is Donovan, either Hurdy Gurdy Man or Sunshine Superman.

  7. Not horses. Not man.

    But a couple of your songs are correct...

  8. 9 is Beth Nielsen Chapman, Sand and Water

    The Belinda track is Circle in the Sand. You've also got Enter Sandman and Mr Sandman. Donovan sang Sand and Foam.

  9. Belinda song could be Circles in the Sand - My aerobics class used it for a routine in the early 90s!

  11. From the clue, 2 is Giant Sand.

  14. Bloody hell you lot are quick off the mark on a Saturday morning! I treat myself to a little lie-in and a leisurely breakfast - and miss out on the whole shebang! Next time I get a Saturday off I'm setting an early alarm!

  15. I hear you, Swede. Gotta be quick. Thinking about napping Friday afternoon so I can stay awake when it goes live 12:30AM my time.
