Hi everybody,
Welcome to the 11th edition of my quiz.
For those who are not familiar with my quizzes here's a brief
introduction:
* The quiz is divided into 10 packs each one consisting of 3 quotes from
different songs.
* Artist names in each pack start with the same letter.
* Packs are arranged alphabetically by the names of artists they
contain.
* You're asked to name artist and title for each quote
* Songs need not necessarily be listed with original artists. If you
identify a song title and the original artist's name doesn't match the
pack's leading letter go search for cover versions.
Scoring rules are as follows:
[a]-questions: max. 3 points (1 on correct artist / 2 on correct title)
[b]-questions: max. 6 points (2 / 4)
[c]-questions: max. 10 points (4 / 6)
plus there's a double-up bonus if you are the only person to correctly
identify an artist or title (or both)
As it happened before please keep in mind:

Be sure to submit your answers early. Remember you might receive some
extra hints along with the acknowledgement of your entry.
Remember further: Each pack's artists start with the same letter. Once
you've correctly identified one quote out of a pack this should narrow
things in where to search for the other two artists.
Plus remember once again:

and most of all:
HAVE FUN!
