Here's the list of remaindrs (with hints):

1 - everything feels like the movies
following line: "you bleed just to know you're alive"

2 - familiar, like last life's nursery rhymes
On the band's greatest hits CD & heard sometimes on 10@10, but not among their most prominent songs.  Beej & I have BOS-ed it before in '84 sets

3 - just like a rainbow you know you set me free
not a KFOG song per se, but a staple in the 80's on New Wave stations, one of this future HoF band's earliest hits.

5 - like a rolling thunder chasing the wind
90's band from PA, occasionally gets KFOG airplay

9 - like you're the only person sitting in the audience
a prog rock god, didn't name the band after himself.

11 - years gone by like so many summer fields
I can't believe no one got this yet.  The bustout song by a KFOG favorite, now a classic rock staple.  Y'all have heard this song a MILLION TIMES!!!

> 1 - everything feels like the movies

Argh, I just heard this the other day, thanks for the hint.
Goo Goo Dolls, "Isis"

New Wave and HOF?  Gotta be either Talking Heads or Blondie.

Your hint gave me this one.  Live, "Lightning Crashes"

1 - yes, but 2nd best typo of the day, should be Iris, not Isis.
3 - no, it's a British band
5 - yep.  I sure wish Ed could have put out a bunch more material of this quality.  Ah well.

Answers:

2 = BOC "Shooting Shark"  
I know it's pretty obscure, but I just love the image

9 = Tull "Skating Away..."

11 = Jackson Browne "Running On Empty"
Come ON people, this one was easy.

I always heard that line as "so many sown fields". You can't wrap your mind around a mondegreen...
