3. Jethro Tull - Living with the Past
4. Gentle Giant (I don't know any GG songs) Embarrassed
5. Marillion - Kayleigh (the only Marillion song I know) Embarrassed Embarrassed
6. Genesis - Ripples (Annie Haslam's superior version) Clap
7. Pink Floyd - Us & Them
8. King Crimson - Epitaph Cry
9. Dream Theater - Surrounded (from the debut Images & Words album) Wink
10. Kansas - Carry on My Wayward Son
11. Rush - Time Stands Still
12. Justin Hayward & John Lodge - Blue Guitar Heart
