Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions.

Your first one

Male, solo ,American rock vibe .. I can hear it...and help someone

First one is jack and diane

Oh no. It's not 90s, so it can't be. Sorry. Ignore me

It is Jack & Diane! I hesitated putting 90s as I thought it was 80s. That must of related to a re-release. Sorry. It was Jack Mellencamp

Just checked Wiki - originally July 1982 🙄

Mother nature isn't in it, three hundred million years
Goodbye in just a minute, gone forever, no more tears
Pinball man, power glutton, vacuum inside his head
Forefinger on the button, is he blue or is he red

Nick Kershaw
I wont let the sun go down on me.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Oh, let it rock, let it roll Let the bible belt come and save my soul Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can Change is coming 'round real soon Make us women and men 90s

Mother nature isn't in it, three hundred million years
Goodbye in just a minute, gone forever, no more tears
Pinball man, power glutton, vacuum inside his head
Forefinger on the button, is he blue or is he red
80s

Second one is Nik Kershaw - I won't let the sun go down on me

Had to sing the whole thing to get to the title

Ha - pipped at the post again

Correct to Nik Kershaw. Well done both 😊👍

Feck! What a bloody awful time to go dry!

And the low chocolate plan
A d the give up crisps plan

Well
Yeah
Oh
What do you do when you love somebody
And everything is goin' wrong, oh, no
80s

Are they lyrics Midge? Never give up the crisps!

I give the lyrics free to any musician looking for inspiration!

Interesting advice about the crisps though....

I was being topical - never heard this before, just looked for "here we go again" & got The Isley Brothers 🤣
Should have done this one:

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

Whitesnake

Correct @midgebabe 👍😊.

Night all 😴

Morning lovelies!

You can walk my path, you can wear my shoes
Learn to talk like me and be an angel too
But maybe you ain't never gonna feel this way
You ain't never gonna know me, but I know you
90s

Morning Needtoknow that’s the apt Thinga are going to get better by D Ream.

So if you're mad get mad
Don't hold it all inside

Sure is Honey! 🤪😘

Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow

@midgebabe

So if you're mad get mad Don't hold it all inside

Is that the pretenders? I'll stand by you if so x

Yes clearing

Face to face with a ragged truth
Mixed up and torn in two
And turned your back on the only thing
That could save you from yourself
