You can probably guess the only one I knew.
But I have HEARD of most of the artists! :)

Man I should have got the Tori Amos songs, as...eh somebody I once knew once listened to her constantly.

I'm with Evo. And probably got the same one. And you had it crossed out for some reason.
The rest...well, this reaffirms for me something I already knew, but in declining age tend to forget: That there is so much music out there (and books, art, etc) that our own personal experiences can only barely touch only a small portion of it all.

Most of those titles I don't know. Yikes. :)

Evo: No idea which one you knew. Jewel? ;)
V: Yeah, hearing them a lot doesn't equate to knowing the first lines. Plus several are recent releases.
SI: I had them crossed out because someone had already guessed them correctly. Let me guess, you're more of a Dido fan. ;)
suchlovely: I think I'm pretty obscure in the music I like.

Ahh well that explains it. If any were produced after 2002 I most likely have never heard it.
