    1.Sailor
    2.Kellie Pickler -- Red High Heels
    3.Nancy Sinatra -- These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
    4.Honor Blackman & Patrick MacNee
    5.Lindi Ortega

    Nancy Sinatra almost has to be correct. If footwear is the theme then Red High Heels could work for Kellie Pickler.

    I only ever heard of two of these artists. I was aware of Kellie Pickler, but could not name one song of hers. I did know she came from American Idol. And, of course, Nancy Sinatra. I knew her (daughter of Frank) and her hit from the 1960s.
    Never heard of the other three, or their songs.

    Let's assume that's correct. Here are three acts with a theme connecting the song titles.

    1. Elton John
    2. Chicago
    3. Bay City Rollers

    Elton John -
    U2 -
    Fleetwood Mac - Mirage (I don't have this one)

    I'll never come up with the U2 one. Elton John has so many I will need to research.

    Empty Sky is incorrect. Chronilogically two albums away. It came after the album containing Your Song.

    Correct! That's an awesome album. Not full of a lot of "hits", but probably one of his finest LPs. If you haven't heard it, give it a listen.

    Now, someone's up.
