I always hear depech mode singing route 66, or r they diffrent things???
That was really fun!
I only got the first and the last on though. I was just listen two 500 miles so it was really easy for me. Funny how that works out sometimes.

great teaser beatlesgirl, something different
Good teaser, but I think the hint made some of them a little to easy (Dolly Parton's for example).. Not sure how to make it not give it away.. maybe someone else has some ideas! Still a great one though!
Very Cool!
Ooooh. I don't think I would have gotten any of them if it weren't for the hints!
Yeah, funny how that works out. I just watched RV and the credits played route-66!

Good quiz but I was surprized you didn't have a Beatles song in there.
On the "Beatles for Sale" Album there was "Eight Days a Week"
