Musical Monday #56

Welcome to the 56th edition of Musical Monday, the weekly quiz that Soccer Dad and I alternate hosting. Actually, this week's MM is another collaboration between us both, and with two contributors we were able to put together a Supersized edition, a full 56 songs to match the quiz number!
