Hopefully I didn't make this too easy or too hard. I don't think the songs are too obscure.

#10 is "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner

Proud Mary was originally written and recorded by Creedence (I'm a big fan). The song was later recorded by the Turners and many other musicians.

5. Paranoid - Black Sabbath
6. Getting Better - Beatles

One small correction/expansion.... (I know, I'm nit-picking)

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood was written by Nina Simone. That fact it was a big hit for a bunch of white boys from England always irked her :-)

Fun! I'll guess the last one is Fugazi - "Bad Mouth"

Rushmore08/08/2004

3.Dumb by Nirvana

davebreal08/08/2004

Nice try, but not correct. The real artist(s) is more mellow and slightly older, if that helps anybody.

number four is definitely going away to college by blink 182, ashamed as i am to know it.
at a guess, is number 3 "bad" by kirsty maccoll?

davebreal12/02/2006

nah, that's not the correct song or artist for #3.
