I thought Sunny Afternoon was Donovan, not the Kinks?
(I'm sure 16's not Pink Floyd, no idea what it is though)

[copperbird.livejournal.com]

It's The Kinks (gets back to listening to her best of kinks album :) )

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's certainly the Kinks

11, 13, 17, 21 are all right

16 isn't Pink Floyd, no.
14 and 20 are right, but neither of them are Cole Porter.

And thanks for the good wishes. Day off work ;)
