7. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

27. The Weight - The Band

And some of the other seem familiar, but not enough to let me guess them. :)

Of course, as soon as you said who 27 was, it became obvious, even though I'd had no clue before that.

Also, you scooped me on #7 because the damn REM title took so long to type...

7) "Sweet Home Alabama" Lynyrd Skynyrd
8) "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World" U2
30 "It's The End of the World as We Know It (I Feel Fine)" REM

I'll trade you #27 for #30, which is now obvious that I know the answer. :)

Ms. Suum,

I must unfortunately point out to you that I already got #10, 20, and 23 before you did. Let us not spiral into redundancy.

Cheers,
Liz

Correct! I should note that this quiz is, like, a year old, and the answers have been posted, but still.
