Ooh well done Jade on finally getting a perfect score after several near misses! Great start to the year *.* (congrats John on another 39 too, too easy for you (edit: and Bjork too!))

 

Round 1: 27 (missed

Grace Jones (-3), Pearl Jam (-6), Five Star (-3)

)

Round 2: 18 (missed

Kate Bush (-3), 'Only You Can' (-6), 1983 (-3), Chrissie Hynde (-6), The Selecter (-3)

)

3 in 10: 0/3 oops (

I confused her off the bat with Annie Lennox which didn't help, but I don't think I'd be able to get more than 2 even with unlimited time honestly

)

 

A fairly embarrassing miss on question 2 in both rounds today oops!

I confused 'Slave To The Rhythm' with 'Rhythm Nation' so thought Janet Jackson, and as for Kate Bush I thought David Bowie for some reason idk why

. My incorrect year guess for round 2 was 4 years late. Had no clue for the first 2 bonuses in round 2 but pleased that I pulled out the last one -

I remember Midnight Oil from a Todd in the Shadows 'One Hit Wonderland' video on them

.

 

 

I saw Paul Young in the title of the podcast episode and was really hoping it'd be a question about that Zucchero collab haha. Iconic.

 

 

Had no clue about either of the tiebreak questions btw. Didn't even know they did them until now!

Well done Jade and Bjork on finally getting a 39!! And PCF for yours on Round 2!

 

I might have also got a 39 on Round 1 except the contestant was a bit too quick for me in giving the answer for

Slave To The Rhythm

as my first thought was

Slave To Love by Bryan Ferry

 

 

Round 2: 30 - didn't get

Fox, 1983 (said 1985)

 

 

Tie-break: didn't know

the second Rockers Revenge hit

There were a lot of ancient questions today, I knew

Wayne Fontana

and doubt few others would have even heard of him :lol: So well done everyone who gets respectable scores in the face of that! (Jade n Jim so far).

 

As I do better when its 60's/70s/80s heavy I've got a Ken Bruce birthday gift of full marks all round and 3 in 10 easy, cough cough cough. That's not modesty, that's the Covid when I try and say the answer out loud! :o

Congrats John on the birthday 100% sweep!

Hope you feel better soon.

Congrats John on the birthday 100% sweep!

Hope you feel better soon.

 

Thanks Jim :D

Well done John on a full house of scores. Happy birthday and make a quick recovery.

I could hear

She Makes My Day

well done Rollo and thanks! :)

Am I the only one to go for Johnny And Mary for the three in ten?

Am I the only one to go for Johnny And Mary for the three in ten?

 

No, me too. That one,

Every Kinda people and Mercy Mercy Me

are my 3 faves.

Well I had a good run of avoiding embarrassing scores but the inevitable has happened today! (And I see no one else struggled nearly as much, including John casually getting full marks, which is making me feel rather inadequate :'( :lol: congrats John though and happy birthday!)

'Pamela Pamela' (-6), Andy Williams (-6), 'Forget Me Nots' (-3), Shawn Colvin (-6), X-Ray Spex (-3)

)

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Addicted To Love'

)

 

My first guess for the year for round 2 was actually right but I changed my answer (to 4 years later) in my head before it was revealed -_- I want to still count that but it's still my first sub-10 score either way so :kink: At least I got the first year

and it being a pre-2000 one this time!

 

 

From round 1,

had no clue about any of the bonuses but feel like I should maybe have been able to recognise Andy's voice, as for X-Ray Spex the only song I know from them is the one John sent to BJSC and that didn't get a mention!

 

 

From round 2,

several of those answers did ring a bell when they were revealed - Little Eva, Brenda Russell, Keith Washington - but I don't know if I'd ever have been able to recall them without Google. The only real kick myself moment was the KC & The Sunshine Band one which I definitely should have got but had a mind blank. As for Kylie I was really convinced that 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' was a) before 'Spinning Around' and b) in 2000 rather than 2001 oops!

Brain definitely took a holiday for that round. Ah well, hopefully that's rock bottom and I can avoid 0s and 3s :lol:

 

I can safely say I only recognise the one song I named from the 3 in 10 artist, having looked through their chart history.

Nice one, John! Happy birthday :heart:

I wanted the Eurovision bonus category to be picked :( :lol:

 

Edit: omg excellent post-Popmaster song today :wub:

Did poorly today:

 

Got 6/39 in round 1 70s singers aren’t my strong point. And was one year out of course on the year!

 

Got a more healthy 18/39 in round 2 and thought the 2000 group was Bewitched 😕!!

 

Also got 2/3 in the 3 in 10!

Thanks Bre and Jade on the birthday wishes, and well done everybody, honestly marks in the 30's are really top tier! 20's is good, 10's respectable. Some contestants struggle to get any points in the glare of national radio :o :lol:

 

I feel I have a unfair advantage by virtue of being a music fan non-stop since I was 5 years old, so I have to compare how I'd do with songs and questions from the 1920's to 1950's...and the answer is very, very badly! I'd get some, but mostly I wouldn't really know much pre-50's, so it's super-impressive that folk are so aware of music from before they were born!

 

And today I had brain freeze with the 3 in 10, I got the 2 massive hits from 1998 and then I did my impression of a goldfish desperately trying to come up with the lesser (but fab) pop hits I really rated or the dull country ballads. I remember them NOW, of course, but

"don't call me stupid"

:lol:

Round 1: 18 points

Didn’t get Al Green (6), Daydreamer (6), When She Was My Girl, Charles whatever his surname was, It’s My Party

Didn’t get: Neil Diamond, 1987, Everyday Hurts, Pink Floyd (6)
