The answers to last week’s Friday 10 have been posted, and you can even hear the tracks at the official Friday 10 YouTube playlist! Three of the titles were identified — two by Fred, one by Thud. How will this week shake out?
We’re going to get right into this week’s Friday 10. Remember the simple rules. Get into the comments to identify the title and the artist. You have to get close to the actual title and the artist, and if you identify a cover version, I’ll give credit to you as long as I can find it! Edit: The answers are now posted, both below and on this handy YouTube playlist!

3. “You Bring the Summer” – The Monkees
4. “Ticket to Ride” – Beatles
5. “We Belong” – Pat Benetar
#6 is โDry Countyโ by the B52s.
#7 feels like a Tom Petty lyric. Definitely from Full Moon Fever album. Going to guess: Stand my ground, I won’t back down
Nicely done!
