Ah, what a pity. Rain is incorrect, as no songs with the title Rain fit the theme. The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin is correct.

Since there hasn't been much activity here, I think it's time for clues.

3. Popular hard rock song from the late 60s

4. What material is made from goat fur?

5. Released in 1991 – from this band’s last album with its original lead singer

7. Released in the mid 90s

8. Released on an album from the late 70s – wasn’t a single but remains one of this band’s most popular songs

9. The name of Brad Pitt’s character in a 2004 movie is in the title

10. Ballad from the early 70s – was covered a few years ago

All correct except for Paranoid (it was released in 1970 if I remember correctly - it's hard to remember things from 17 years before I was born). That leaves 3,5 and 10. Number 5 is quite obscure, but I thought it should be easy to work out the band from the second clue.

Since that is a hard one, I might as well tell you that you have the right band and album, but the wrong song.

Final clues (these should give them away):

3. - I said four of the songs are by the same band, and this one is too.

- From this band's 1969 debut album

5. I already told you the band and the album, so I don't think you should need any more clues. If you still can't work it out, just list the songs from that album and I'll tell you which one it is.

10. The song was covered recently by Limp Bizkit. (I didn't want to give you that clue, but I thought someone should have got this by now).

I'll even tell you now that the theme of this ten can be found in the "What's on your iPod" thread in the Music Discussion Classic section. I'll also list the correct answers so far:

1. The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin (Malakin)

2. November Rain - Guns N' Roses (bazooka)

3. -

4. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (FarinU)

5. -

6. Badge - Cream (bazooka)

7. Champagne Supernova - Oasis (Malakin)

8. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (The Seeker)

9. Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin (daslied)

10. -

10. Behind Blue Eyes -- The Who

That was the very first song I guessed when you posted your questions the first time, but why is the lower part of the brain with some people behind their eyes? That really confused me.

I dunno. I know it's a weird clue, but I thought the lower part of a person's brain was behind a person's eyes, and I said some people because only some people have blue eyes.

Well done everyone.

1. The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin (Malakin)

2. November Rain - Guns N' Roses (bazooka)

3. Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin (Dappled)

4. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (FarinU)

5. Innuendo - Queen (FarinU)

6. Badge - Cream (bazooka)

7. Champagne Supernova - Oasis (Malakin)

8. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (The Seeker)

9. Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin (daslied)

10. Behind Blue Eyes - The Who (The Seeker)

The theme was songs from the Top 25 of my most played list on my iPod (listed in the "What's on your iPod forum). Yeah, I know, it's weird.

Thanks for keeping things going c s !!! Where's Jenny ???

bazooka caught me out - I did use most of those songs that were TV Themes before. Seeker, my grandaughter flew back to the bush again so you can light up again.

Would sombody else like to have a go at one with a particular Topic in mind ? If not, I'll prepare one tomorrow morning Oz Eastern Time (it's just passing 8.15 PM Sunday here).
