We've not had one of these 'Guess the Artist' quiz-things for a while and they're usually pretty fun, so I thought I'd start another one and put the answers up on Monday evening :)
Linked below is a 12MB Zip file containing 30 MP3s (128 Kb VBR) - each lasting roughly 30 seconds.
All you have to do is name the artist that performed the song! In the case of cover versions it'll be the artist performing the version I've included, but I don't think there are any out-and-out covers.
The selection is pretty broad with stuff from the early 70s up to the current chart.
Enjoy! :D

[Edit] I appear to have fagged up the Zip files with some OSX info files in a folder called __MACOSX, but you can ignore them. As Vigil said that's more embarrassing than leaving thumbs.db files in there :([/Edit]

There are some worrying gaps and things I should know, and a couple I do know but can't think of a name, which is the worst. But I'm confident of what I do know.
1. Arctic Monkeys (Brianstorm)
3. Akon
4. Judas Priest?
6. Desmond Dekker - Israelites
8. Toploader
9. ELO
10. Green Day
11. Manic Street Preachers
15. Kate Bush
16. The Verve
17. Thom Yorke
19. Bowie - how anyone can mistake this voice, let alone the song, would be beyond me.
20. I think this is Jack White's new band, The Raconteurs
21. Black Sabbath, it's Ozzy at any rate, innit?
26. Corinne Bailey Rae
27. Amy Winehouse
28. Girls Aloud?
29. Bah, it'll come back to me. First video on MTV and all.
30. Again, I know this but a name escapes me at the moment.

When I said "google says it's Pato Banton" I meant the track 'Bubbling Hot' but if it's Baby Come Back as well I can see where I got confused :)
