Geocache Description:


 

Animal is putting a band together. Only thing is, the band is going to be made up of just drummers.  That's right, no guitars or keyboard or any of that nonsense. So, he is holding auditions, and if you think you are good enough to join the band then he has set you a little test, before he will even consider your inclusion in what he says will surely be the Greatest Band Of All Time.

He has put together a tape consisting of twenty of his favorite song intro's.  All you have to do is name the song! Then assign each intro a letter from A to T, in the order in which you hear them.

Easy, right?

Wrong! Trouble is, there is something not quite right.  The pitch is a little bit off in places.  Makes some of the intros a bit hard to identify, and more importantly, apps like Shazam are no help at all.

They're all well known, mostly rock, but some pop, and mostly from the 60's to the 80's. Animal reckons some are easy, and some others, not so much.  Can you figure them all out?

Animal is also welcoming ideas for the name of the band!

 

The cache is not at the posted co-ords - it's where Animal hopes to hold his first concert with the band. 

Have you got what it takes? Figure out the numbers, and use this formula for the final co ordinates:

N53  (B+Q+T).(A+D+M)(C-R-S)(F-E-O)  W006  (G+H+J).(I-J+L)(K+S-R)(M+N-P)

Rock On!
