Round 1: 30 (didn't get:

Round 2: 36 (didn't get:

1974

Three-in-Ten: 2

(Sweet Child O' Mine, November Rain)

 

 

I really hoped to get all of the

U.S. chart-toppers considering I've done a marathon of them all

but I think

'Mony, Mony'

is the only song I could confidently name by that artist.

 

Great timing for that

Sherelle/Alexander O'Neal

question as it was just on one of the retro TOTP episodes. (Edit: ah I see Jim pointed that out too!)

Round 1 : 36 Didn't get

Crazy For You

 

Round 2 : 24 Didn't get

Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Dave Clark Five

 

 

 

I should have got Crazy For You to get to 39 as that song was on the 1994 survivor poll recently, I just couldn't remember the title

 

 

3 in 10 - 1

I'm Outta Love

 

Whoops forgot to do this again last night so another small catchup - here's yesterday's, will try and remember to do today's a bit later!

 

Round 1: 24 (missed

1980 (-3), Ace Of Base (-3), Tommy James And The Shondells (-6), The Doobie Brothers (-3)

)

Round 2: 15 (missed

Cherrelle / Alexander O'Neal (-6), 1974 (-3), 'Thieves In The Temple' (-3), 'Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend)' (-6), 'Lily Was Here' (-3), Slade (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Sweet Child O' Mine', 'Chinese Democracy'

) -

I named 'Appetite For Destruction' in my head as well but that was only an album rather than a song whoops! Was banking on it having a title track :kink: lots of obvious ones that I missed whoops, but somehow did think of their fleeting comeback 'hit' from 2008 lol

 

 

5 years late and 3 years late on the two year questions.

I was guessing between Ace Of Base and Roxette for round 1 question 5 and failed the 50/50 aw! Confused 'Life Is A Flower' with 'Fading Like A Flower', that's my excuse x I should have got 'Thieves In The Temple' - I also said 'Night' like the contestant lol - but otherwise round 2 was really hard for me, surprised to see such high scores for it here, you're all too knowledgeable.

 

Round 1: 36 - didn't get

Showaddywaddy

 

 

Round 2: 30 - didn't get

the Sister Sledge song, Dave Clark Five

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

I'm Outta Love, One Day In Your Life, Left Outside Alone

 

Round 1: 24 (missed

1996 (-3), 'Shout' (-3), Showaddywaddy (-3), The Flying Lizards (-6)

)

Round 2: 27 (missed

Pet Shop Boys (-3), 1979 (-3), The Dave Clark Five (-6)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'I'm Outta Love', 'Left Outside Alone'

) - probably should have got

'Sick And Tired' too, or perhaps 'One Day In Your Life' since that was also an answer on another recent PopMaster episode oop

 

 

3 years early and 8 years late on the year questions.

I definitely should have got Pet Shop Boys but had a mind blank, maybe should have got 'Shout' too.

 

 

Had a few lucky guesses today!

Spandau Ballet was an educated guess, didn't know the song but thought the voice sounded like them. Space I literally only got because I know it's an instrumental with the word 'Fly' in the title, only know it exists because of Jade being a fan haha. And the Sister Sledge one was a 100% shot in the dark as I've never heard of that song but just sounded like a plausible title!

 

 

Also some great song clips in round 2 -

Green Day and David Gray

:wub:

Round 1: 30 (didn't get:

So close to 39!

 

Tommy James is underrated in the UK - I Think We're Alone Now was covered by Tiffany, Mony Mony is brilliant, but the lesser-known gem is Crystal Blue Persuasion just gorgeous, but really everything 1967 through to 1971 is good. REM covered Draggin' The Line.

Fri

R1: 30 -

Spandau Ballet -6, Showaddywaddy -3,

 

R2: 27 -

1979 -3 [2 years out], Sister Sledge -3, Dave Clark Five -6,

 

Round 1: 36 - one! year! out! I knew it was either

1987 or 1988

but went for the wrong one :drama: Got all the bonus questions despite none of them being about

Bruce Springsteen

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

Johnny Mathis

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas,

Hollywood, Haven't Met You Yet

 

Round 1: 15 (didn't get:

Bruce Dickinson, Bruce Foxton, T-Rex (said 'Satisfaction' in my head rather than 'Easy Action' oops), Bruce Hornsby (an annoying miss as I know this song but had a total mind-blank), Quartz/Dina Carroll

)

Round 2: 27 (didn't get:

Joan Armatrading, Johnny Mathis, Small Faces/Blue Mink

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Haven't Met You Yet, It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, It's A Beautiful Day)

 

 

That first bonus round...

 

thought of

Rollo

when the

Marillion

question came up :P

Round 1 : 33 Didn't get

T Rex, It's Too Late

 

Round 2 : 27 Didn't get

The year, Johnny Mathis, Stay With Me

 

 

 

Good to hear a Marillion question come up

 

 

3 in 10 : 1

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

I was as clueless as the contestant for that singer.

round 1 39, round 2 not 39. Actual points obtained depends on how strict Ken would be with me :lol:

I said Jennifer Hollowson beautifully combing the original hitmaker and the American Idol star

:)

and then I got Jane for the cruising star without enough time from the bloke giving up to let me dig out McDonald

oops! :lol:

 

I just named one random old Xmas songs for the 3 in 1 and pretty sure that was right with no chance of getting any of the non-xmas hits as my brain struggles with blandness. Even cheerful blandness that I quite like. :teresa:

Crazy the first guy had such a high score but missed the first question, must be loving under a rock these days :D

 

Just got the 3 in 10 right but was hard

Round 1: 18 -

Bruce Dickinson -6, 1988 -3 [1 year out], Marillion -3, Bruce Foxton -6, T-Rex -3,

 

Round 2: 24 -

Joan Armatrading -3, Five Star -3, Johnny Mathis -6, 'Stay With Me' -3

 

3 in 10:

Haven't Met You Yet, It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas, Holly Jolly Christmas

 

Round 1: 21 (didn't get:

Tavares, Rush (knew those vocals sounded familiar but couldn't place the group in time), Ricky Ross, Marilyn

)

Round 2: 27 (didn't get:

Sweet Sensation, Tin Tin Out, Suzi Quatro

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Dakota, Handbags & Gladrags and Mr. Writer)

 

 

Poor neglected Eurovision category as ever </3

 

happy to have got

Jethro Tull

- their vocals have become quite recognisable to me since getting into

'The Witch's Promise'

 

Eurovision snubbed as a bonus category again!

 

Round 1: 36 - didn't get

Marilyn. Radio 4

was a lucky guess, I've no recollection of that making the Top 40

 

Round 2: 24 - didn't get

Purely By Coincidence, Suzi Quatro, Jethro Tull.

Not at all jealous the contestant is going to see Bruce Springsteen 6 times this year (couldn't get any tickets myself)

 

Three in ten: 3 -

Pick A Part That's New, Just Looking, The Bartender And The Thief

 

Round 1 : 15 Didn't get

Nobody Knows, the year, Ricky Ross, Marilyn, Radio 4, Tom Odell

 

Round 2 : 30 Didn't get

Sweet Sensation, Damian Rice

 

 

Round 1 was a disaster after getting the first 3 questions right. I managed to redeem myself in round 2.

 

3 in 10 - 2

Dakota, Handbags And Gladrags

 

did badly today, my brain wasn't working. Out late (for me) last night ironically at a quiz where we blew out over a question about Scottish Whisky being wrong. Whisky In The Jar had popped up on my car CD on the way, so it wasnt as if there were no warning. Excuses excuses...!

 

 

I forgot:

Ricky Ross, Marilyn's single (I follow him on Twitter), Tom Odell's Beatles cover, a word in the Tin Tin Out title wrong when I've spoken to actual Tin Tin Out's Shelley Nelson's mum at one of her Radio 1 roadshow's, and I didnt know the Radio 4 question at all.

 

 

I barely managed to get 3 in 10 in time too. When I say "barely" I mean I was rattling 2 of them off after 10 seconds. :lol:
