Lyrically Speaking: See if you can solve it
This is another straightforward quiz with a mystery theme to bind them all together. There's a little of everything in this one.
1. Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming
2. When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket, then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas, oh, the gigolo pool
3. Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
4. And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
5. Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye
6. Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over
7. Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
8. But I can see that black horizon glooming
Ever close to view
It's over now, it's not my fault
See how this feels for you
9. Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
10. All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
Bonus: Identify today's theme.
Double Bonus: What famous band member was missing from song #1, and which famous band did the artist of song #10 leave? (10 points each)
Final Bonus: What is so unusual about the title of song #1?

I'm hoping I'm right about Neil Young not being included in "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes". And Peter Gabriel left Genesis just before they turned into a mediocre band with flashes of genius, instead of a genius band with flashes of mediocrity.
Final Bonus: What is so unusual about the title of song #1?
There are several things that are unusual about it. It contains a colon, which isn't typical for a pop song. It's a play on words, a homophone for "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes". It refers to another singer, not in the band (Judy Collins). And finally, the title is never sung in the song.

1. Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming
Very familiar. Dope slap for not knowing this
2. When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket, then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas, oh, the gigolo pool
3. Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
See the answer for #1
4. And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes (Am I insane for thinking she sounds an awful like Rod Stewart?)
5. Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle
6. Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over
7. Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
8. But I can see that black horizon glooming
Ever close to view
It's over now, it's not my fault
See how this feels for you
9. Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
Your Lyin Eyes - Eagles
10. All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
Bonus: Identify today's theme. I'm guessing eyes

Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
8. But I can see that black horizon glooming
Ever close to view
It's over now, it's not my fault
See how this feels for you
9. Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
She tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin down
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
She's headin for the cheatin side of town.
You can't hiiiiiiide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
Thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes.
On the other side of town a boys lies waiting
With starry eyes and dreams no one can share
She drives on through the night, anticipating
Cuz he makes her feel the way she used to feel.
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers that it's only for a while
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
She holds him close and leaves him with a smile.
Lyin Eyes, Eagles
10. All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes, Peter Gabriel

It's Suite colon not Sweet. But they meant she was sweet. Or so I've heard.
I'd like to hear it right now instead of Obama.
Don't get me wrong, or Clinton either, for that matter.

1. Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming
Now that I know the theme, I guess I don't know the title! I'll just come sing it to you. "I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, and you make it.." okay, I'll stop. CSN for the artist.
2. When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket, then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas, oh, the gigolo pool
Eyes without a face, Billy Idol

Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
Familiarish

She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
Bette Davis Eyes, Kim Carnes
5. Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye
Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blus (yet again! They're staying blue!), Crystal Gayle
6. Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over
Sad Eyes. don't remember the guy's name. Think he's the Lion Sleeps Tonight guy.

Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me

None of the words in the title appear in the song. While some of the other answers were technically correct, they weren't all that unusual.
