The most Insufferable Music Snob on my friends list is...

[sabotabby]

burkesworks, who correctly guessed three of the random song lyrics. Take a bow. Special mention to roter_terror for also guessing that I secretly like Sixpence None the Richer.

Anyway, in case you were curious, the ones that no one got:

4. “Those rainbows are long gone, and mud lies where those days once shone.”

"Lilies" by the Cranes. Why don't any of you listen to the Cranes? They were awesome.

6. “Your mother, my son, has never pretended that you’re the special son of someone’s special daughter. But neither did she bring you up in so much hardship to hang on the barbed wire someday, crying out for water.”

This is probably the most obscure of them, and you couldn't Google it even if you wanted to cheat. Nevertheless, you filthy commies, it's by Brecht. "Lullabies I, II, III/To My Countrymen/Lullaby IV," sung by Frankie Armstrong.

13. “Hold me by the light. Kittens run the neighborhood through. Ragamuffin boys. All the world is new by the light of day. Give with your heart and love will come to you.”

"Brown Earth" by Laura Nyro. Okay, that one's pretty obscure too.

14. “I was born and raised in the place where the thorn of flame would blaze, where the foreigner's not embraced.”

"Until the Lion Learns to Speak" by K'Naan. You should check him out, people. Especially this song.

Thanks everyone for playing! That was fun.
