Backyard in SC: Can you identify these weeds?

I've always let some areas of our yard get overgrown with plants/weeds, and now I'm curious to know exactly what some of them are. Can you help me?

Your pictures won't open up for me for closer view, so it's a little hard to see details.

Weed number 1 is likely some kind of wild mustard

Weed number 2 is some kind of thistle (birds like the seeds of those)

Weed number 5 might be Japanese honeysuckle bush

Can't tell the rest.

But I'm thinking they are all pretty common aggressive weeds, not something you particularly want to keep in your yard.

Thanks for the help so far! I figured they were all fairly aggressive and common, but the yard is big enough to share so they haven't caused a problem so far.

Any idea how I can fix it so you can open them larger?
