Based on David's "mid-week clues":
Is 3 called "The Great Pretender"?
Is 7 "Shootout at the Fantasy Factory" by Traffic?
I'm just guessing that the album by the same name has a title song.
Two obscure Steppenwolf songs contain the word "fantasy" in the title. That could be a bonus or trivia question.
Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at October 23, 2009 4:11 PM3.The Great Pretender-
If #3 is "The Great Pretender", then I think it's by The Platters.
Posted by: Clayton at October 23, 2009 7:21 PMAlso based on the hints, I'm going to guess that #1 is "It's Only Make Believe". I'm clueless as to who the artist is, though.
