MP3 player. Shuffle. First lines. Guess 'em. Titles and group names replaced where they would give things away with AD&D 2nd Edition Manuals. Untranscribable lyrics ignored.

I only have 125 songs on my MP3 player so perhaps this will be easy!

3 is Pasadenas "I'm Doin' Fine Now".

3 is indeed "I'm Doing Fine Now" (but perhaps New York City's original, not the Pasadenas' cover)

6 *must* be Congress "40 Miles", which still haunts my mind even now

18 is the Stylistics when they were good (i.e. before Hugo & Luigi got their bastard Tony Blackburn-pleasing hands on them) "Ooh Child Things Are Gonna Get Easier" (as sampled on 2Pac's "Keep Ya Head Up")

19 is Saint Etienne's "London Belongs To Me"

No google-cheating was involved.

18. is Ooh Child but there are SO MANY VERSIONS. Let's go with Beth Orton.

I had to figure it out so I actually looked at the second volume of my Buddah Box comp and will guess The Stairsteps.

LOL at not reading previous responses except weaselseeker, all of which guessed this already.
