    Correct with the exception of 9 which is half correct.

    2 is Holiday as you listed

    5 is destination (Zululand, Venus and Anywhere)

    6 MTK spot on

    7 Brazil (Rio, Copacabana and The Moonraker)

    8 Yes Crikey we show our age with that one.

    9 Only half a point, yes they were all born in Stoke

    11, Pink (Pretty In, Pink, and Lily The)

    13, Heaven, (Stairway to, Is a place on Earth, Can Wait)

    Hmm looks like this one is too easy

    Rock Bottom an absolute classic and sadly lacking from my Ipod shuffle

    3 Jim Steinman?
    I also knew a handful that have already been answered.
    The rest would be wild guesses based on one of the three linkees(?)

    3, is Jim Steinmnan correct. Oviously he was Mr Loafs chief writer. Fire Inc sang most of the soundtrack to the film "Sreets of Fire" written by Jim and Celine Dion had a huge hit with "It's all coming back to me now" which Jim originally wrote for Pandoras Box.

    Enjoyed this quiz. Some random thoughts:-

    Motorhead are much missed. I recall travelling back from a poker tournament, and a grandfather, father and son were travelling back from a Motorhead gig on my train.

    Do you think Slash & Robbie yearn for the bright lights of Stoke? Strangely, they probably do.

    This got me looking at corners of my record collection that I haven't played in years. Including the original (Clovers) version of Love Potion No 9, and "Heat of the Moment" by Asia. Plus the madness of shockabilly/psychobilly that was King Kurt (and the Meteors)

    When I first moved into North Essex from London, the local Vicar in a village in the middle of nowhere was John Pantry. Christian Music legend.
