Thought I'd play along today as I'm at home

 

Round 1 - 9 points

Round 2 - 18 points

Only caught the last couple of questions on Round 1 - might do the rest later, but dropped 6 points with the final bonus one.

 

Round 2: 39 :cheer:

 

The Killers - Human first reached the Top 10 in 2008 though, so that threw me for a second

 

 

Three in ten: 3

Over My Shoulder, The Living Years, Beggar In A Beach If Gold

 

Three in ten: 3

Over My Shoulder, The Living Years, Beggar In A Beach If Gold

the last one should read

Beggar On A Beach Of Gold

- I actually thought of

Another Cup Of Coffee

first, but didn't think it would count as it wasn't Top 40.

Ooh hi Lewis :hi: and congrats on the 39, Jim!

 

Round 1: 21 (didn't get:

Racing Cars, Gun, Racing

)

Round 2: 33 (didn't get:

Darts, Danny Wilson

)

Three-in-Ten: 1

(The Living Years)

 

 

That first bonus category... :drama:

 

The second one was much better though! I did hope an

Adam and the Ants

related question would come up and wasn't disappointed :cheer:

round 2 I got 2 wrong, the year was way out and I forget (ironically) the one I initially forgot... :lol:

Round 1 : 24 Didn't get

Racing Cars, the year, Gun

 

Round 2 : 36 Didn't get the year, I was two years out

 

3 in 10 : 3

Silent Running, The Living Years, Word Of Mouth

 

R1: 12 -

Racing Cars (-6), 1992 (-3), Sioux and the Banshees (-3), Gun (-6), Leo Sayer (-3), Racy (-6)

 

R2: 36 -

Darts (-3)

,

3in10:

The Living Years

 

I thought both rounds were rather tough today and felt ok with my middling scores but I'm back to feeling dumb after seeing some of these other scores! :lol: well done all x

 

Round 1: 12 (missed

Racing Cars (-6), 1992 (-3), 'Hong Kong Garden' (-3), Gun (-6), Leo Sayer (-3), Racey (-6)

)

Round 2: 18 (missed

'I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me' (-3), Darts (-3), 'What Do You Want?' (-6), either Danny Wilson song (-3), Adam Rickitt (-6)

)

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'The Living Years'

)

 

The bonuses in round 1 were all completely no clue for me but the

Gun

song sounded pretty interesting so I may have to check that out (edit: I have done so now, great song!) I was 11 years early for the year which is by far my worst guess to date :blush:

 

From round 2, I did nearly get question 1 right as a pure guess (

missed the 'On Me'

), and the

Adam Faith

song title was on the tip of my tongue but couldn't quite recall it.

 

The 3 in 10 artist was another one where you could give me 10 years and I'd still only get 1/3.

Round 1: 9 points :(

Didn’t get: Xanadu, Racing Cars (6), 1992, Hong Kong Garden, Gun (6), Leo Sayer, Racey (6)

 

 

Round 2: 21 points

Darts, Goody Two Shoes (6), What Do You Want? (6), Mary’s Prayer,

 

 

3 in 10: 0

Round 1: 33 - didn't get

the Dudley Moore duet. I hope everyone got the year from the Alphaville song :) After yesterday's Adam Ant question, an Ariana question today I'm sure Jade was pleased with, also some songs that came up in the recent #1 album sessions were mentioned!

Slightly out with the Reynolds Girls name

Happy to have got both of the years at least

 

I was pleased with the

Ariana

question indeed, Jim :kink: *.*

I was lulled into a false sense of security in both rounds as the final questions did me in

(celine dion and Sting/Craig david)

and wasnt fast enough for the 3 in 10, 2 easily third just after the 10 seconds doh! Then I got another 2 or 3 :lol:

I'm the only person who did worse on round 2 than round 1 today then...

 

Round 1: 21 (missed

Peter Cook & Dudley Moore (-6), 1984 (-3), Gloria Gaynor (-6), 'Because You Loved Me' (-3)

)

Round 2: 9 (missed

Ray Charles (-6), 1972 (-3), The Reynolds Girls (-6), Stevie Wonder (-3), Joyce Sims (-3), Clodagh Rodgers (-6), 'Rise And Fall' (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Murder On The Dancefloor', 'Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)'

)

 

I was 2 years early on round 1 and 2 years late on round 2, although my initial gut answer for round 2 was actually right and then I changed it before the answer was revealed, second time that's happened now grr!

 

From round 1 there was one answer I retained from playing the relevant song at the #1 albums sessions (

Paul Simon

) and another that I should have but didn't (

Céline Dion

). Despite my score for round 2 being way lower than everyone else's, I still feel like there's only one question (bar the year) that was within the reach of my knowledge -

I guessed 'Up And Down' for the Craig/Sting song so I had the right idea but alas did not quite recall it correctly!

 

 

With the 3 in 10

I assumed 'Groovejet' wouldn't have been accepted - but I think it took me longer than 10 seconds to recall it anyway. I confess that I have been pausing before the contestant starts answering as I find that too distracting, I guess that's probably cheating a bit :kink: though even with that cheating I still fail more often than not oop

 

Round 1: 18 (didn't get:

Darlin', 1994 (4 years out oops), Wizzard (guessed the same as the contestant), Queen, 911

)

Round 2: 18 (didn't get:

S Club 7, Ricky Nelson, Emmerdale, King

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Ruby, I Predict A Riot, Everyday I Love You Less And Less)

 

 

Meh, this was not my day :lol: I actually do know that

Woolpackers

song but had no idea about the backstory

33 round 1 (got the 90's teenybop questions wrong) and 27 round 2 (2 disastrous double A side questions, and I don't mean the 60's one) :o

I've now done Monday's Round 1 in full - my previous lowest score for a regular round was 21, but I only managed 12 here! Didn't get any of the bonus questions, the year:

1 out with 1991, Hong Kong Garden (said Dear Prudence), Leo Sayer

 

 

Did a bit better today:

 

Round 1: 24 - didn't get

Darlin', Wizzard (guessed "Rock 'N' Roll" instead of "Rock"), Queen (d'oh!)

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

Ricky Nelson

 

 

Three in ten: 3

Oh My God, I Predict A Riot, Modern Way

 

Round 1: 24

Didn’t get: Darling (6), Are You Ready To Rock?, Queen (6)

 

 

Round 2: 30

Didn’t get: Hello Mary Lou (6), King

- but annoyingly knew them both!

 

3 in 10:

I Predict A Riot, Ruby, Oh My God
