Number 10 is 'Something in The Air' by Thunderclap Newman

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Is that a cover? Or maybe my version is a cover. The one I have is by Tom Petty.

[angeltaisha.livejournal.com]

Tom Petty covered it. His version is very good; but I grew up on the original by this artist. LOL I still have the 45"!!

[letters-to-ed.livejournal.com]

I am not 100% sure, but I think #5 is Phil Collins. Again, I am not sure about the title - maybe "Billy Don't Lose My Number" ??

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Correct on artist; close enough on the title.

[angeltaisha.livejournal.com]

Number 2 is The Entertainer by Billy Joel. That one was SO bothering me!! I knew if I just had one more line I would get it, lol!
