Lyrically Speaking - 2/1/23

You're probably aware that the LSWE has long had a rule named after a certain musician that allows you safely fall back on answering a song with the lead singer if you're unsure whether they had performed that song solo or with their band. You know... the guy whose name was censored on the old Bored. Well, that rule is out the window for this game...
Below are eight pairs of songs, with each pair sung by the same singer.... one song as a solo artist and one song with their group. You must correctly identify whether each song by the solo artist or the band to receive artist credit. And because sometimes the band and the solo artist may both perform the song at some point in time, I'm only counting the best known, most popular version for this game.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the exact artist....
1. Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
2. You were looking so good girl
Heads were turning
You and me on the town
Ooh, we let it all hang out
3. Now she don't even know my name
But I think she likes me just the same
4. Need I say I love you?
Need I say I care?
Need I say that emotions are something we don't share?
5. Been running so fast
Right from the starting line
No more connections
I don't need any more advice
6. Something 'bout you
Right here beside me
Touches the touched part of me like I can't believe
7. So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
8. And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does and
Lightning strikes maybe once, maybe twice
9. Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time
10. Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
11. So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
12. The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
13. Rockin' steady in her daddy's car
She got the stereo
With the big guitars
And that's all right
14. Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel
Keep the moving parts clean
15. Somewhere out on that horizon
Far away from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
16. We keep on grinnin' 'til the weekend comes.
Just a pinch between your cheek and gums.
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another pair of songs, sung by the same person, but one solo and one with their band. (4 total points if you don't mess it up!)
Image Bonus: Show me someone who's doing it solo.
