Oooh-ooooh, the second test is easy. I know it. LOL
So: 1. Van Dieman's Land 2.Twilight 3. that's hard, but it has to be Red Light, since it is the only song to which I don't know the lyrics by heart. 4. Drowning Man 5. And Cat Dubh 6. Another Time, Another Place 7. 11 o'clock Tick Tock 8. The Unforgettable Fire 9. Love Is Blindness ![]() ![]() |

Hi nicamom,
I am rather surprised to see the Australian band Daddy Cool in the first list. I suppose that is the idea....one very very unlikely choice....but then sometimes it can be a trick. I would have loved to heard U2 play Daddy Cool's "3 O'clock Thrill" ![]() |

Let's try this one:
