 Got em all right. ......just means I'm old...lol
One of my new favorite openings is from a song called "Three Seed" by Silversun Pickups:

Remove a bullet from my head 
Extracting over confidence 
Hidden so easy to pretend 
Too bad the rush was found again

 Hint-Always pay attention to the topic.  I have no idea who Edward Bear is, but the Smithereens and Culture Club were not around in 1973.  I think Lights start with "Lights" or "The Lights" so I guessed Edward Bear because the other choices seemed wrong.
