6. Papa Roach? Doubt it's the artist you're thinking of but worth a try. It wasn't even a released single as far as I'm aware. It was just a song off one of there albums

Not Papa Roach I'm afraid.

It was the Pretenders I was thinking of in this case.

It’s a remix by Ian Brown written the day after Reading 96.

He’s gone a bit crap lately but he was excellent in the Roses, and his first few solo albums had some good moments. I’ve seen him live about a dozen times. Some gigs weren’t great, but some were spectacular.

Obviously no comparison to N Dubz.

Ah rubbish, sorry, completely missed that. It is of course the Ramones. I was wondering why it hadn't gone, I had it down as one of the easier ones.

Okay, time for some clues to the one that's left.

7. Burning Car

The artist behind this track was an early synth pioneer and one of the original members of Ultravox. He left the band before they had any of their big hits and was replaced by Midge Ure. Along with "Burning Car", his other top 40 hits were another I considered for this list, "No-One Driving" and perhaps his best-known, "Underpass". His name is quite Hangman-resistant.

Indeed it is the estimable John Foxx. Glad that didn't go to Hangman, it could have been a long, long night.

Alas, even with the bonus point it is not quite enough.

HappyCamper 4, KrazeeEyezKilla 3 (2+bonus), Juddernaut88 2, Prop 1, SteveJJ 1.

As ever, thanks to all for playing and it's over to HappyCamper for another no doubt fiendish list!
