Well I didn't know the stones one, but this one seems a bit petty to me. :wink:

Did you have one ready Dan? If not I'll take a stab at it.

Nope, go ahead. :)

It's funny how different some of these riffs sound without the full band arrangement. This one sounds almost silly.
Take a guess

UK alternative pop band ... a relief?

As for this mid-80s song, it's about time intervals.

:D

Despite a string of pop-rock hits, the wild-haired band is popular among "goth" fans.

The title of the album that featured this song is something that might have given Scrooge a fright.

Great clues, Gabba. :)
I think I sorted them out correctly.
The Cure In Between Days?

Darn, I was afraid of that. I don't have anything ready to go. :lol:
I'll try to get a guessable riff from something I just started working on. You might have to use your imaginations for the next one...

Lots of submissions in the ESD for these guys, so you know them well. but this isn't one of their better known songs.

Band Clue:
The frontman/songwriter was famously sued by his former record company for self-plagiarism.

Song Clue:
It's a 2 word title.
For the first word, think of a legendary town of the Old West. It had a corral, OK?
