This is a copy of a quiz (slightly modified) that I posted in an unrelated forum. I thought I'd give you guys a shot at it. Over there, we keep score by submitting guesses via private message. I don't think that would work well here, so credit is given only to the first to correctly guess by posting to this thread.

The arm with the sword rose up as if newly stretched aloft, and round the figure blew the free winds of heaven.”

Oh, and T.U.B., you were thinking of "Pretty Fly for a White Guy", not "Come Out and Play". But that was a sample.

By the way. The majority of these are rock tunes from the 70's and 80's (One of them is Country). But I still stuck with songs that were popular.

edit: correct answers above this post have been ID'd in my main post.

Redlemon

Hmm, I thought Flyman had #8. Mine was just a wild-ass guess. Excellent game, BTW.

Grey

For those who downloaded the zip file with the mp3s, which have the decade and genre in the ID3 tag...

#5 is not from the 80's. It's actually from 1991. Sorry 'bout that.

No, but he was so close.

Tophat665

Is 8 Steppenwolf, Born to be wild?

I think #2 is Cuts Like A Knife by Bryan Adams
#8 is Girls, girls, girls - Motley Crue
#9 is Thirty Days in the Hole by Humble Pie

edit: I think #5 might be Disgustipated by Tool

#5 is wrong, but you're close with #2.
