Answer: Van Halen

"And the Cradle Will Rock...", from the album "Women and Children First", originally released in 1980. This album also includes the tunes, "Everybody Wants Some", "Loss of Control", and "Take Your Whiskey Home". Early in his career, Eddie Van Halen would perform in concert with his back to the audience much of the time, in order to safeguard his original guitar techniques. "I say, rock on."

Answer: Loverboy

"The Kid is Hot Tonite", from Loverboy's self-titled debut album, originally released in 1980. This album also includes the tunes, "Turn Me Loose", "Prissy Prissy", and "Teenage Overdose". Loverboy's original bass player, Scott Smith, died in a boating accident in 2000. Smith was swept over the side by a 30-foot wave.
3. "Well, he started with a bank in Colorado. In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid. And his age and his size took the teller by surprise, and the word spread of Billy the Kid."

Answer: Cream

"Badge", from the album "Goodbye", originally released in 1969. This album also includes the tunes, "What a Bringdown", "Politician", and "I'm So Glad". George Harrison played on this song and much of the album. Many of the lyrics for "Badge" were taken from drunken conversations Harrison had with Ringo Starr. The album, "Goodbye", was Cream's fourth and last studio album.
5. "I fight authority, authority always wins. I've been doing it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin'. Well, I fight authority, authority always wins."

Answer: John Cougar Mellencamp

"Authority Song", from the album "Uh-Huh", originally released in 1983. This album also includes the tunes, "Pink Houses", "Crumblin' Down", and "Play Guitar". Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, and Neil Young organized the first annual Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois, in 1985.
6. "And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid. Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did."

Answer: Elton John

"Candle In The Wind", from the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", originally released in 1973. This album also includes the classics, "Bennie and the Jets", "Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", and "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)". "Candle in the Wind" was written in 1973, as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe who died in 1962.

The song was reworded in 1997, as a tribute to Princess Diana who died that year.
7. "Kid, my only kid, you look so small, you've gone so quiet. I know you know what I'm about; I won't deny it."

Answer: The Pretenders

"Kid", from the Pretenders' self-titled debut album, originally released in 1980. This album also includes the tunes, "Brass In Pocket", "Stop Your Sobbing", and "Tattooed Love Boys". Since the band formed in 1978, The Pretenders have had a total of thirteen band members, with only Chrissie Hynde being the constant. Drummer Martin Chambers was an original member, quit the band in 1986, and rejoined in 1993.
8. "Slip kid, slip kid, second generation, I'm a soldier at thirteen. Slip kid, slip kid, realization, there's no easy way to be free, no easy way to free. It's a hard, hard world."

Answer: The Who

"Slip Kid", from the album "The Who By Numbers", originally released in 1975. This album also includes the classics, "Squeeze Box", "How Many Friends", and "However Much I Booze". "Slip Kid" is definitely one of the Who's best, and my favorite Who tune.
