Musical Monday #84

Welcome to the 84th edition of Musical Monday, the weekly quiz that Soccer Dad and I alternate hosting. As always, the challenge is to identify the title and artist of each song quote below, as well as the common theme of the entire set of songs.

Couple of notes. Today in particular, I'm especially looking for the singer as well as the name of each song- the former will often be more difficult. As a bit of help, I'll state that I included no more than two songs by any given artist, and that any such pairs are consecutive. Otherwise, the songs are in no particular order. I also kept the total to 50, simply as a nice round number. That said, I especially encourage folks to add their additional fitting songs for the rest to guess, once the theme is IDed - which I suspect won't take long! :-)
