I can't answer the others because I don't think about them.

I had no problem with immediate answers until I got to Madonna . . . . then I had to think for a while to dredge up a song she did. I finally remembered Vogue because of the hand poses from the music video.

David Bowie came the fastest, as I'd just listened to a trio of songs from Ziggy Stardust.

I couldn't name a U2 song and then when I looked at the other posts, I recognised some of them.

But it does show you do recognize way overrated bsnds I guess. Even if their songs are hard to escape.

[Yesed]

Actually a good, fun idea. I’ll do it tonight with Sativa a Shiraz. I won’t cheat , even with their help

[Ash Armstrong]

Somebody else's turn to throw out ten bands or artists and the song that first come to mind?
See what happens?

[Susanne]

Beatles - Eleanor Rigby
Stones - Satisfaction*
Queen - Killer Queen
Abba - Take a Chance on Me
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Genesis - Squonk

Frank Sinatra - My Way*
Elvis Presley - All shook up
David Bowie - Starman
Prince - Purple Rain*
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Madonna - Like a Virgin

* I cheated for these three. Nothing came to mind quickly, so I searched for songs. I picked the ones I thought I would most probably have thought of first, if I had kept thinking.

Some of these songs I like, others rather less so.
