How did I do?
You did very well...
No 3 is 100% correct 25 Tokens for that
No 2 is the correct Band but you have given me the name of the album that the song was on, not the song name.... so 10 Tokens for that...

35 Tokens Coming your way

Depeche Modes "New" album from last year was good as well

Here's the outstanding Questions for ease of reference...

1) Shattered fragments of the past, Meet in veins on the stained glass.
2) And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in, And we can relive our youth. ARTIST ANSWERED By Waldo SONG TITLE Still required
6) Moments burn, slow burning golden nights, Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame.
7) They exchanged a look, An hour later her voice shook
10) But now there is a time, A torture less sublime, Our souls are locked and frozen.

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

I would have thought Madcat would have gotten number 1 quite easily...
Here's another couple of clues for number 1...
Robert Smith (of The Cure) Stated that playing in this band was probably the biggest influence on his musical direction afterwards... Sid Vicious (of the Sex Pistols) once played drums for this band as well...

Yay
Right Artist, Wrong Song tho...

10 tokens coming your way....

More Hints....
Hong Kong Garden was a hit in 1978(I think)
This song was from the 80's... 1980 to be precise... it reached number 41 in the charts in Britain
It was originally only released as a single and didn't appear on an Album until the the compilation, "Once upon Time" in 1981

Is it Christine (the Strawberry Girl) or it could be Happy House?

1) Shattered fragments of the past, Meet in veins on the stained glass
After plenty of hunting online I believe it's Israel?

Is 10. Heaven 17 - let me go?

Were Eurythmics scottish?
