..ok, I wasn't supposed to post the answers until tomorrow, but seeing as how all of the usual suspects have thrown their respective hats into the ring, I'm taking my chances. The songs were:
- Song 66: KISS - I Was Made For Lovin' You. Disco metal from the band that best embodies the term sell-out. It's got one of the most cheesy bass lines in the history of music, but it used to raise the roof in pubs back in the day.
- Song 67: Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight. I bet that Anders was way surprised when he figured out that I included an Eric Clapton song in this quiz, but alas, I've played this live many a time. In weak moments, I might even admit that the song has certain qualities, especially since this is one of - what - three among the many EC hits he actually penned himself.
- Song 68: Ugly Kid Joe - Every Thing About You. Since my gigging days were in the nineties, you better believe we included this one.
- Song 69: Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All. From Notting Hill, which was the movie I took my wife to on our first proper date.
- Song 70: Eminem - Without Me. The video to this tune is way awesome.
Consequently, the Score after Round 14 stands as follows:
- Anders (10/10)
- Pigeon/Sondre (tied at 8/10)
- ...
- Cathy (4/10)
This means we've got a change in the grand poobah, the Total Score:
- Sondre (96 points)
- Pigeon (81 points)
- Anders (77 points)
- Cathy (74 points)
- Torbjørn (6 points)
Congrats to Anders, who really cleaned house in round 14 and clawed his way up on the rankings, and also to Sondre as usual, who continues to reign without opposition. Good luck with Quiz 15.

Congratulations A.! You nailed it, buddy!!!!! Now wait for me :)!
I had a bit of luck with this round, I guess.
Here's my score:
KISS - I Was Made For Lovin' You
Used to like KISS. When I was six... Don't remember many of their song, just a few hits. This is one of them.
Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
Yes, you did surprise me with this one, W-meister. So, when is Tears In Heaven and Layla on (the two other of his self-penned hits)? ;-)
Oh, and I live CD with this track on, Just One Night. It's a pretty good album, got the JJ Cale covers (Cocain and a tame version of After Midnight), a Dire Straits cover (Setting Me Up) and some blues classics (Worried Life Blues and Rambling on my Mind) in addtion to some self penned Claptonm tunes. Good 80's Clapton album.
Ugly Kid Joe - Every Thing About You
Don't know this song at all. Have heard of Ugly Kid Joe, but can't name a single song of their. Got lucky when a collegue of mine said "that's Ugly Kid Joe" first time I heard the track. ;-)
Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All
One of this hits that stays forever. Btw, Wilhelm, don't you know that you should go to the movies on your first date? Then you won't be able to talk or nuthin'. :-D
Eminem - Without Me
Heard it was Eminem straight away, I could see the video in my head, but dang if I could remember the title of it. Took a looong time before I came up with the title. Cool video, though. I may not be the biggest Eminem fan, but I do like most of his videos.
So, what songs did the rest of you get?
Presumably it was the same colleague who recognized Soft Cell right away? Anyways - good on ya; you really nailed the songs this round.

Yet somehow I'm sure you've got a more recent recollection of this particular song.

...you mean the less I say the better? Like that song...what was it...You Say It Best When You Say Nothing At All? Isn't that really a thinly veiled insult? Like; you make more sense when you STFU, only more nicely worded...

...two trailer park girls go 'round the outside...'round the outside, 'round the outside...

I try to forget...

Sorry, that should read "Btw, Wilhelm, don't you know that you shouldn't go to the movies on your first date?". That makes more sense.

Yeah well; I'm not so good with words, you know. Rare is the occasion when I can keep a conversation going, and I'm terribly shy ;-)

Yepp. Bet nothing ever came out of that date.
:-D
Well; I had you putting in so many good words for me, didn't I?

Err... Are you saying that I'm not among your most supporting friends? My gosh, this is a real shocker...

...as sycophants go, you've got a long way to go is what I'm sayin'
....epic spending a lot of time looking up the word "sycophant", Anders :-)

But I'm getting there?

Hey, I'm surfing guitar porn and posting on three threads here. Give a poor guy some break here. If I did look it up, my Google-Fu skills would have spent that much time...
Your recent Yes-man pledge seems to have gone overboard lately
Hey, I'm surfing guitar porn
How's that work exactly?
