'Ace Of Base' took me ages to get - because the question was worded "musicians" I spent ages trying to think of solo musicians!

And that's all the answers! The scoreboard is on its way...

Oops dropped the ball with Ace of Base! They (well, Jenny Berggren was) part of the last concert I went to as well, We Love The 90s :blush:

Sorry you're right, that was a bit misleading!

brilliant hosting Ansel! thanks for a fun round :)

Ah wow, a clean sweep except for that 3rd sequence! Do I get half a point for Bangles as they begin with B?

Sorry but I feel like seeing as it didn't fully fit the sequence and you didn't have the connection, it's not quite close enough for any points.

No problem, worth a try!

I missed the fact that Andante repeated was an Abba song so went for Dr Kiss Kiss instead.

 

A great quiz! Having done one myself, I know how hard it is to set an Only Connect quiz - and I chickened out of doing a wall.

So here it is! Well done to Pete who scores 100%, and to everyone else too because the scores were really high across the board.

Yay, a quiz I actually won :cheer: Thanks Ansel for hosting, I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this!

Well... that's still higher than my position in the previous quiz so I'll take it :') :lol:

 

Congrats Pete + thanks so much for this quiz Ansel, really enjoyed it <3

Happy with 4th place, though still kicking myself at the one I didn't get. Thanks for hosting Ansel, really enjoyed this quiz :D and well done Pete!

Great quiz, Ansel.

 

Only ones I could have got were the two albums, easy to search but felt that would've been cheating - I can definitely say I have never heard of On Sunset!

 

The number one sequence was pure luck, had no idea what else it could be and that worked!

Thanks very much for the quiz Ansel and congrats Peteonacci! :D

 

I think maybe the missing vowels could have been made a bit more tricky by mixing the 16 clues up and saying some are bands; some are solo females etc. Was really good fun though!

Thanks everyone, really hope you enjoyed it :)

 

A great quiz! Having done one myself, I know how hard it is to set an Only Connect quiz - and I chickened out of doing a wall.

The wall was definitely the hardest part to make and to work out the scores for, so you probably had the right idea!

Yes, very enjoyable quiz, thanks very much!

 

That blasted featured artists ruining my perfect score, but that's easily my best result in one of these chart quizzes so I'll take it *.*

Last place, I probably deserve it after missing so many obvious connections at the start :lol:

 

Still, I'll take the couple of leaderboard points associated with it. Huge congratulations to Pete on that perfect performance, and thanks for hosting Ansel!
