Time for a new one. It was Anzac Day here on 25th (sacred day for Australians and New Zealanders) and so I put together on another forum I post, an anti-war and peace quiz. Now I am bringing it over here...
You're looking at 14 different artists from the 60s to present. Some will be obvious big names some others not-so.

Can you identify these tunes and the various artists ?

RIP Billy Paul. Classic tune:

I don't see the media file in the original post, though I see the code here.

 

[Vince Evert]

yeah had a few issues trying to post it but eventually it appeared (or so I thought!).
Clue for ya. Two Folk music iconic female singers are there #9 is a Bob Dylan song and #14 is by a lady who was supposedly in a relationship with Mr Zimmerman around 1965.

 

[Vince Evert]

I see there's a media file when I quote you, but it doesn't show up in the thread.

 

[Moxie]

I've been trying to embed the media link I see, but no luck.

 

[Vince Evert]

Hmmmmmm that's strange. Perhaps it does not like zippyshare files. OK will try to figure out another way to post as an mp3 file (the piece lasts 5 minutes).

 

[Vince Evert]

Just tried as an mp3 file and it came back with the following:-
The following error occurred:
The uploaded file is too large.

Britbox. re Zippyshare file, why does it appear and then disappear now ?

Try once again...

 

[britbox]

It shows up all right for me. I can see it the music clip on about five different posts??

 

[Vince Evert]

It was showing then it disappeared but now it's as you said , showing up five posts. What happened ?

 

[britbox]

I don't know mate, I haven't seen it "not visible" yet so can't really say. What web browser are you using?

 

[Vince Evert]

mozilla...

 

[britbox]

OK, as it's an embed file - it actually sends a request to the external site hosting the content (in this case zippy) and gets a response back which it displays. I'm assuming the response back from zippy timed out on occasions in which case it doesn't display it... so likely to be the slow response from zippy on occasions where you aren't seeing it... but I haven't not been able to see it so far.

1. Johnny Cash
2. Gordon Lightfoot
3. Anne Murray
4. Eric Burdon and The Animals
5. John Farnham.

10. Redgum
11. Roy Orbison
12. ?
13. The Rascals
14. Joan Baez

 

[Vince Evert]

That's very good britbox, except number 7. Think of another canadian songwriter-singer as good as Gordon Lightfoot.

This is the Eric Burdon and the Animals tune in the quiz - Sky Pilot (parts 1 and 2). You know the song at all, mate ?

 

[britbox]

I wasn't too sure about Lennon, it didn't sound quite like him...

Sky Pilot - Yeah, heard it before. Like the vocals on it.
