UnPuzzle'd, by request

And yesterday I was wondering if I should bother going back and finishing.

The theme was songs with the same title. since a one song set make no sense - "Part I" had 1 title removed from each list, "Part II" 2, and "Part III" 3.  Each list has at least one artist found elsewhere (mood = connected).  Originally I wanted to only use songs that had made the top 40, any top 40.  But that fell apart at too low a number.  My second take was "songs I own".  In the end, I had to goof on two there.

1. Vacation: The Go-Go's, (Simple Plan)
2. Jump: Van Halen, Simple Plan, (The Pointer Sisters)
3. Birthday: Meredith Brooks, Quietdrive, Sugarcubes, (The Beatles)

4. Shout: Black Tide, The Isley Brothers, Donna Lewis, (Tears for Fears, Meredith Brooks)
5. In the End: Green Day, HoneyCreeper, Avril Lavigne, Cat Stevens, (Linkin Park, Rush) 
6. Runaway: Bon Jovi, Cartel, Jamiroquai, Pink, Del Shannon, (Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne)

7. Numb: The Cure, Disturbed, Ill Nino, Linkin Park, Portishead, (Pink, U2, Pet Shop Boys)
8. Open Your Eyes: 12 Stones, Alter Bridge, Guano Apes, Hoobastank, Staind, Sum 41, (Godlfinger, Snow Patrol, Yes)
9. Lift Me Up: Benjamin Gate, Jeff Lynne, Reel, Savage Garden, Bruce Springsteen, Voodoo Blue, Yes, (Moby, Live, Howard Jones)
10. Head Over Heels:  ABBA, Big Bang, Blue Rodeo, Boys Like Girls, Alain Clark, New Found Glory, Switchfoot, Tears for Fears, (The Go-Gos, Jamiroquai, Rascal Flatt*)

*the only real obscurata that was a missing artist, goofed on which one to remove from the list

I was hoping 4. and 6. would be good starting points - 4 would have been better if T4F was in view - but that would have meant hiding an obscure one.  I figured both the Isely Bros and Del were old enough and one-hit pervasive enough that.  Damn I *really* should have left T4F visible in 4. tho.  At least with 6. there was a chance for someone to say "Wait, didn't this other artist also have a song named..."

Ah well, big lesson for me in making this sort of thing.
