42, pretenders, could hear and see them singing this track but no idea of the title.

[CAMiller]

Just 30 and 36 left and to be honest there weren't many options that fitted both themes at those numbers so that might help.

Well that's No 42 all done and dusted with all 60 solved. Great job! The themes in case you didn't work it out were that these were all songs by bands and as an added clue they were listed in alphabetical order of the bands. I was going to expand it to 78 clues to go through the alphabet 3x but decided I didn't want to deal with the end of the alphabet again. Q was particularly hard with Queen being the only realistic option (Quantum Jump and Lone Ranger was a thought as were the Q-Tips but they didn't have any 'hits') as was X and I went with 2 XTC songs rather than subject you to X Ray Spex and Oh Bondage Up Yours

[CTMilller]

Thanks, CAM. Something for everybody in that mix. I have to say I didn't cotton on to the alphabetic order clue. I think when you come in and out of it you don't really see the pattern since songs that have already gone are no longer relevant.
