    No.

    I thought people had lost interest in this.
    2 and 8 remain unsolved. Once again, the ones I thought were the most obvious have turned out to be the ones that stump people. 2 is the newest album in this batch, 8 is probably the oldest.

    Frameshift's "An Absence of Empathy" fits perfectly with your #2 but it's probably not what you were thinking of.

    You're right. It's not. I never heard of it.

    There is a bird involved...

    No.

    Nearly there. If I were to give any more clues to 2, I may as well just give you the answer.

    Just read all my previous clues again.

    I asked this question before and NOBODY got it:

    Name the 70's songs with seagulls-sounds in them,

    (should have been easy for the people here)

    "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls?

    Oh no, they were 80's.

    How many seagully songs are there to name?

    Interestingly enough, there's no such bird as a 'seagull'. Apparently.

    Doesn't The Who's Quadrophenia have seagulls (or gulls) sounds?

    Real seagulls? Or slide guitar seagulls? Because that could be Layla and Free Bird along with a lot of others...

    I also have an idea there's at least one Elton John song - Sweet Painted Lady - that features that sound effect. Also, "The seagulls were screaming" in the song Sails, from Elton's first album, but they are only mentioned there, not heard.

    Likewise, Harry Chapin sings about "the screeching of the gulls" in the song Dogtown, but I don't think gulls are actually heard.

    Drifting slightly off topic, Judy Collins sings a traditional song "Farewell to Tarwathie", on which there is no instrumental accompaniment; the only backing is recordings of whale sounds.
