10. Psycho Killer - Talking Heads. smile
Well that's me feeling stupid then! I'd sort of narrowed it down to Billy Idol or AC/DC!

2) So Lonely - The Police (was convinced it was Roxanne at first)

Definitely know some of the others, just can't place them yet.

Random guesses here, but I'll give it a go...

14: Survivor - Eye of the Tiger?

15: Madness - Driving in my Car (too obvious to be right?)

Morning update;

3.) "And every day is like Christmas Day without you, its cold and there's nothing to do,"

4.) "Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah. They're always calling on my telephone,"

6.) "I'm tired of playing on the team, it seems I don't get time out anymore,"

8.) "Well, there she sits buddy, just gleaming in the sun,"

11.) "I was a butcher cutting up meat, my hands were bloody, I was dying on my feet,"

12.) "She smiles but thats cruel. If you knew what she thinks, if you knew what she was after,"

13.) "Maybe there's a way not make it hurt, to cover up the words like you covered up the dirt,"

14.) "Eye to eye, stand winners and losers. Hurt by envy, cut by grief,"

15.) "I roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far. I drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars. I like driving in my car,

19.) "I sat on the roof and watched the day go by,"

Surprised no ones got 4.),6.) or 14.) yet. 8.), 11.) & 15.) are probably the most tricky ones left.

Couple more gone.

The reason that I thought Duel was easy because it was used as the theme to the BBCs 80s rally coverage.

7 to go. smile

By Googling, I can get all except #13 for some reason.

I had a good idea who sang #8, and I was right!

And a hint: #11 is not The Smiths. smile

I found #13 on Google, there's a slight typo in the lyric as posted. Never heard the track though.
