Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who just pipped MusicEnthusiast in last week’s Music in Song Titles quiz. I was even more impressed by 2loud2oldmusic, who solved last week’s bonus question, linking five albums by knowing they were recorded at Electric Lady studios.
This week we look at the artists with at least three songs in Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Songs.

I scored 32/35 – if you’ve read this site, you’ll know I’m a lot weaker on hip hop than on pop/rock. I also missed one iconic 1960s group – I know lots of their other songs but not the one listed.
Can you beat me and get all 35?
For some reason, this song completely passed my by until recently – it namechecks where I live (the Hutt Valley). It’s a collaboration between Don McGlashan, perhaps better known for his later work with The Muttonbirds, and Harry “Cast it into the fire, Isildur” Sinclair.

Couldn’t quite match our esteemed host this week, with only 30/35. Probably should have gotten another 2 but I’m pleased with my score.
Yup, 30 is a good effort. It’s a tough format with just one song title to go on.
26/35 with 4:50 left. Some of those I really should have known!
26 is a good effort anyway.
🙂 Thanks, Graham. Good for me.
I got 13/35 (37%) with 9:17 left lol! Could’ve been worse though. Thanks for the quiz!
Yup, good effort!
Thanks so much!
33/35…. what an eclectic bunch of titles. On one song I kept typing in the Allman Brothers but it was the same song name by a mostly British band.
For the hip hop I just typed in a bunch of names I knew…got most of them like that.
That’s a good hip hop technique. It is pretty eclectic, so good job Rolling Stone – noone’s got 100% yet.
34/35. That was easy except for the one about Going Home or something like that, I didn’t know that one. I think I had a lot of time left too but I forget what it was.
Great work – you’re in the joint lead, although we don’t know your time.
34/35, then gave up with 7:34 remaining. Couldn’t guess the one I missed.
Looks like you’re in the joint lead with kingclover (who didn’t record his time).
I got 30/35 before giving up as I wasn’t going to get the last 5 no matter how many artists I typed in the box.
30 is the mode score this week.
Just realized I hadn’t yet done this one. 30/35. No hope on some of those at all. Literally just gave up.
30 was a popular score on that quiz.
