In order to distract myself from the thermal-fluids engineering homework that's due tomorrow (I'm working on it, I swear!), here's another game of sorts.
Rules: 20 songs, from music player, on random. I'll post the first lines or so from them, you guess the song and artist, and I'll cross them off. The list will skip any and all instrumental pieces. (And, to be fair, probably any AKFG, Fuji Fabric, or the like because I don't speak Japanese. My music tastes are esoteric enough as it is.)
EDIT: Added in songs and artists not guessed. Er, I guess my player really likes throwing out the esoteric stuff.

2 and 4 ring distant bells, and I might kick myself, in the end.

Well, 2 and 4 aren't nearly as obscure as some of the other ones.

Once upon a time, I used to listen to that song all the time. And when iTunes picked it, I was like "wait, what? This sounds familiar..."

19 feels like it's Counting Crows. Maybe it's Round Here.

19 is, in fact, Counting Crows, but not "Round Here".
