Another International Break and another two weeks with nothing of significance happening at RUFC
A slight variation for this edition of the pop quiz. No theme, no genre, no specific year or decade to guide you. All these come from a playlist that was suggested to me by Youtube so I guess you have my history of searching for melancholic songs to blame. Not necessarily hits but well know songs ranging from the 50s to the 90s.
As usual title and the artists who had a hit with the song please. Limit 5 entries per poster to start with (if you are going for 5 please try and put them all in one reply). 2nd dibs allowed after 6pm Tuesday. NO GOOGLING PLEASE. Pull the answers from the depths of your brain.
