    Using the list, I couldn't name anything by:
    Pink Floyd
    AC/DC
    Garth Brooks
    Genesis
    Julio Iglesias
    Kenny Rogers
    Def Leppard
    Linda Ronstadt (who I never even heard of!)
    Kiss
    Johnny Hallyday
    B'z
    Reba McEntire
    Tom Petty
    Kenny G
    Alabama
    Andrea Bocelli
    Motley Crue
    Scorpions

    I'm pretty ignorant.

    Out of your list I've added in bold the songs that I know by them. Linda Ronstadt did a song from a animated film from the late 80s or early 90s but I can't remember what film it was or what the song was called

    Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall
    AC/DC - Highway To Hell
    Garth Brooks
    Genesis - Invisible Touch, Land Of Confusion, I Can't Dance
    Julio Iglesias
    Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream
    Def Leppard - Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me
    Linda Ronstadt
    Kiss - Jump
    Johnny Hallyday
    B'z
    Reba McEntire
    Tom Petty
    Kenny G
    Alabama
    Andrea Bocelli - Time To Say Goodbye
    Motley Crue
    Scorpions - Wind Of Change

    Oh yes your right, I don't know why I thought they did Jump. I've just looked up KISS's singles and the only one I know is Crazy, Crazy Nights.

    Two that popped into my head out of some current singers are Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea.

    Apart from Baby I thankfully wouldn't be able to know a Justin Bieber track and he's had loads of hits.

    Pixie Lott
    Ellie Goulding

    I know of them, but I haven't a clue what songs they sing! I have probably heard their songs without realising it is them

    Michael Bolton is about the only one I can think off. Anyone else is just obscure so nothing fancy.

    It depends on your memory I think - mine's not great. I can immediately remember Paolo's Last Request because it was on a lot and he also sings "Last Request" several times. There were also quite a few covers of it on X Factor etc. Same for Oasis's Wonderful. When a song doesn't use the title often I can't remember it very well. Also if I can't sing along to them the lyrics don't go in.

    I find The Saturdays difficult to place in my mind, mostly because I don't think they have a very unique or memorable sound. Girls Aloud though I think stamped their mark on British pop culture with Love Machine alone. Same as Westlife with Flying Without Wings.

    With Mariah Carey - the 'I Can't Live without you' one comes into my brain at awkward moments.

    Katie B. I think that's her name. She was guest coach on the Voice with Kaiser Chief Ricky. Her bigged-up intro gave me the impression it was very uncool to not know her.

    I don't know who Kenny G is either. :-o

    I missed this post, sorry. Hurray, i'm not the only one then.

    I am totally out of touch. Have never even heard of these.

    Right enough. Remember the hair but I'll be damned if I can think of any of his songs.

    Surprised a few can't name a Linda Ronstadt song. I thought everyone knew that one she did with your man -

    I don't know much
    But I know I love you-oo-oo
    And that may be all I need to knooowwww...

    One Direction
    Taylor Swift
    Anthrax
    Slayer
    Lady Antebellum (or whatever she/they are called)

    I'll need to have a quick look at the music charts now to add more.....

    Sigma
    Vamps
    Iggy Azalea
    Aloe Blacc
    (I'll stop there because they are all in the top 5 and I've heard of none of them. Pretty much everything current that charts then.)

    Looking at the Wikipedia list, I only know Mariah Carey's cover of 'Without You', and I know Celine Dion did 'My Heart Will Go On', so the first one I genuinely couldn't name a song by is Garth Brooks, closely followed by Rihanna. Then Julio Iglesias, Taylor Swift, Backpassage Boys, and I'm losing interest now...

    Gloria Estefan, I am aware she was very popular once upon a time, but I honestly couldn't even name at least one single she has released she seems to be very much forgotten too by most. (I could be wrong though)

    Can you name every single song by every single singer/band that has ever been released then? :p
