1. Well before my time but right up KT's street. The Who
2. KT says The Rolling Stones 1965
3. Gene Pitney?? Einstein?? I can't get you out of my mind was Yvonne Elliman
4. Elsie - at the Polls
5. These are all before my time and am not involving KT again as he insists on singing each one - even though he doesn't know them!!!! They are all getting to sound the same now :(
6. This was on an advert on TV for Nimble bread with a hot air balloon involved so Maggie was let go ;D Honeybus
7. Eruption 1978
8. Ray Charles late 50's, early 60's?
9. Yep, he's singing again but isn't sure of the answer - hang on, he says the Hollies.
10. Otis Reading 1966ish
...........I'm done but Kev is still going!!! ;D ;D

That's an impressive array of answers, Hayley, and where you've mentioned KT as having given the answer I'll credit the point to him, which hopefully will work out fair. So........
1. The Who correct - KT 1pt.
2. Rolling Stones (1965) correct - KT 2pts.
3. Not the one I want ! But you are correct that there was a hit by Yvonne Elliman called I Cant Get You Out Of My Mind which reached no.17 in 1977 so will award you 0.5 bonus point for that.
4. No proper answer given, but 0.5pts for the loaded pun. ;)
5. No answer given.
6. The Honeybus correct - LadyH 1pt.
7. Eruption (1978) correct - LadyH 2pts.
8. Ray Charles (1962) correct - LadyH 2pts.
9. The Hollies correct - KT 1pt.
10. Otis Redding (1966) correct - LadyH 2pts.

I make that :

1. LadyH 8pts
2. Sir KT 4pts

3) 4) & 5) left to get, plus the years for 1) 6) & 9)
