Been working on a audio puzzle. Here's my initial idea. Let me know what you think.

Jack_Ian · Big Endian

Unless there's a good reason for reversing it, it just provides an annoying hurdle of downloading something to listen to it in the correct way. Although I did recognise #1 and #8 when reversed.
Otherwise I like these sort of puzzles.
It will probably need some collaboration to solve it, so here's what I've gotten so far. No link that I can discern as yet:

Taking Jack_Ian answers as correct...although I haven't bothered to verify the ones I don't recognise.

spoiler here

2. Mika I think
7. Do It - Nelly Furtado
14. Moby?

Again, no apparent link detectable...

Also have to say that reversing it is just a minor annoyance as it's easy to play it the correct way. Also, some of that 'music' is horrendous...just my personal opinion.

lexprod · NOT not a title

The following are correct:

1. "Eleanor" Turtles
2. ? Mika
3. "Irreplaceable" Beyonce
4. "Technologic" Daft Punk
5. "One" U2
6. "Everyday" - Buddy Holly?
7. "Do It" Nelly Furtado
8. "Voodoo Chile" Jimi Hendrix
9. ?
10. ?
11. ?
12. "Turn Around" They Might Be Giants
13. "My England" Lady Soverign
14. ?
15. "Unchained Melody" The Righteous Brothers

Yes there is a reason it's reversed. Also, do you mean the music quality is horrendous? Because I did rip some off of youtube so that's partially the reason why.

3iff · very unbifflike

Perhaps horrendous was a bit harsh...the recording was uneven, to be expected...no it's the inclusion of 9 and 10, as yet unanswered but I'll steer clear of their music...not keen on some of the others but I'll grin and bear it until we have the answers.

Perhaps I shouldn't get into a "what music is good/bad" argument so I'll stop it. Sorry.

I take it there's a link/theme we're looking for then?

Well since there was a point to the initial setup, reversing the initial letters of the songs gives :
MU*EMAT*CVIDEOTI*E
presumably something like 'mu* em at*c video title'? if the Mika song is 'Love Today'

3iff · very unbifflike

Oscar. Nice spot...

spoiler.
Something like Musematic video title? Can't find anything so far but I'm still looking. Probably not Musematic but something very close to that?

There's a band called Mute Math..giving us Mute Math C Video Title. The C is 'wrong', perhaps.

Answer?? Here> Typical

Yes...They perform the song backwards. Ah, it all makes sense.

Yeah, pretty good...sorry about my complaints about the music...

Someone asked me about how to play reversed music. I use Audacity, widely available freeware for editing and manipulating sounds.
