17 -is Neubauten - Total Eclipse of the Sun

19 -the swans - the great annihilator

13 - Rasputina - if you can't hold your man

#21 is Gloomy Sunday, but only one artist that I know of uses those lyrics. Billie Holiday never sang that line. So, see that one's a trick question. :)

17 -is Neubauten - Total Eclipse of the Sun
Yup. I'm just going to assume you didn't want to try to spell Einsturzende. :p

19 -the swans - the great annihilator
Right artist, wrong song.


13 - Rasputina - if you can't hold your man
Right artist and song, but that's not the right title.

7. Is the Uncle Floyd song. (It's not called Uncle Floyd, though, I don't think.

Shit, what is it called?

[curgoth]

You're not wrong... night__watch would know. :)
