Feeling a bit better about my scores today :ph34r:

 

Round 1: 27 (missed

1995 (-3), Melba Moore (-6), 'The Golden Age Of Rock & Roll' (-3)

)

Round 2: 18 (missed

Nicky Thomas (-6), 'Kiss The Rain' (-3), Santana (-3), Bob And Marcia (-6), Tiffany (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Best Of You', 'Rope', 'Monkey Wrench'

)

 

2 years late for the

second

year question in round 1 -

I knew it wasn't 1996 but was a 50/50 on if it was the year before or the year after oop

.

 

In round 2 I got all of the first 5 questions but none of the last 5, think that may be a first!

Think this is the second time Bob And Marcia has been an answer recently, must remember this as a stock guess for reggae related questions :lol: I think I did know Santana in the back of my mind but not kicking myself too much

.

 

Easy 3 in 10 for me but not sure why I went for that second song over some of their more iconic / better songs, that's just the way my brain decided to work this evening!

Round 1: 30 - didn't get

Shirley Bassey, Wee Papa Girl Rappers. The ABBA question was sneaky, I got it but several of their songs have the same word(s) repeated

 

 

Round 2: 36 - only didn't get the last question!

Steve Gibbons Band - I also guessed Miller even though I knew they had multiple Top 40 hits

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

Blue Monday, True Faith, Fine Time

 

Round 1: 27 (didn't get:

Shirley Bassey, Wee Papa Girl Rappers, Toyah

)

Round 2: 21 (didn't get:

The Bay City Rollers, Scritti Politti, The Honeyz - boo when their name came up I could only think of 'End of the Line', The Steve Gibbons Band

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Regret, Blue Monday, True Faith)

 

 

I was actually listening to

'Hips Don't Lie'

just before putting on Radio 2 and then it appeared as question 1! :lol:

 

Another fab 3-in-10 artist choice!

Round 1 : 27 Didn't get

Abba, the year, The One I Love

 

Round 2 : 30 Didn't get

Carly Rae Jepsen, Honeyz

 

 

I should have got the

Abba and Carly Rae Jepsen

questions but just couldn't think of the correct answer.

 

3 in 10 : 3

Blue Monday, Regret, Fine Time

Spoilt for choice today

21 and 21,

too many oldies questions

something I hate that no matter what they pick the bonus questions are mostly from the 70s, sometimes even older

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Blue Monday', 'The Perfect Kiss', 'World In Motion'

) -

was wondering if the latter might not be accepted due to technically being EnglandNewOrder but the contestant was allowed it so we count it! Another case where a song contest entry is responsible for me thinking of a more obscure answer over some more obvious ones

 

 

1 year late for the round 1 year. Pretty happy with these scores today though especially in round 2 as

'Boogie Oogie Oogie' was one I just barely managed to recall in time from the #1 albums sessions, while the Honeyz question was a bit of a lucky guess as that was the only song title from them that came to mind haha.

I also said

Steve Miller Band

for the last question despite knowing it was obviously wrong lol x

Round 1: 36 (didn't get:

Hall & Oates

) - so close but really happy with that, thankfully

'The Floral Dance'

clicked just in time

Round 2: 21 (didn't get:

Manic Street Preachers - oops of course, 1973 (one year out), Peter Paul & Mary, Destiny's Child

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

3 in 10 : 3

Umbrella, Pon de Replay, Work

 

Catching up on yesterday - pretty close to a perfect day!

 

Round 1: 36 - didn't get

Hall & Oates

 

 

Round 2: 36 - one! year! out! Like the contestant, I said

1974 rather than 1973

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

Pon De Replay, SOS, Umbrella

 

Round 1: 31 maybe - didn't get

Andy Kim, and I guessed "Fruitgum 1910 Company" instead of "1910 Fruitgum Company" so that might have cost me a couple of points

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

Shakin' Stevens

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

I Kissed A Girl, Hot 'N' Cold, Teenage Dream

 

Round 1: 21 (didn't get:

The Chairman Of The Board, Hazel O'Connor, Paul Young

)

(I Kissed A Girl, E.T., Part of Me)

 

 

Really shocked that I got all of the

solo Queen

questions right, really wasn't expecting that when the category was announced :lol:

Round 1 : 24 Didn't get

Andy Kim, Snow Patrol, 1910 Fruitgum Company

 

Round 2 : 30 Didn't get

Duffy, Chairmen Of The Board, Paul Young

 

 

3 in 10 : 3

Roar, Firework, Chained To The Rhythm

 

Poor Ken, just 4 to go, getting pushed out early by Logan's Run Carousel-inspired "go for the 90's generation" policies. Vernon Kay drafted in to appeal to game show fans and that all-important 90's/early 00's-too-old-for-Radio-1-now target audience....

 

Anyways, I got 36 round 1 (

Snow Patrol I went for Set Fire To The Third Bar

:lol: )

 

Round 2: 34

I got Duffy wrong, and couldnt get the full title of Paul Young's Otis Blue out, but mentioned Otis so graciously gave myself 1 point

 

 

3 in 10 (

rattled off I Kissed A Girl, Firework and then went down a one-way street shouting out Lion! No Tiger! Got Roar just after the 10 seconds expired instead of just going Chained To The Rhythm or Hot n Cold)

 

^I got the ones you missed, we should do a joint participation ;D

 

 

Round 1: 33 (didn't get:

Champagne, Ruby Winters

)

Round 2: 39 :w00t:

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Rock The Casbah, London Calling)

 

 

Yay my third ever full house for a singular round! :wub:

 

Those round 1 bonus questions also *.* happy that I managed to recall

'Pipeline' from old 60s charts as it was only a low top 20 hit

 

 

That

Yazoo

question was good timing as I recently made some 80s fantasy personal charts for fun and remember looking forward to

'Don't Go'

making an appearance at some point after

'Only You'

charted.

 

 

'Saturday Night'

is following me around today, as I was listening to a podcast this morning where one of the hosts mentioned a noisy neighbour who plays it every

Saturday

without fail :')

also got 39 in R2 yay!!!!! pure luck in a few of those but made it

Edited February 28, 20232 yr by Bjork

Yay well done :cheer:

Well done both of you.

 

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

Yazoo, I knew it was Only You or Don't Go but chose the wrong one

 

 

3 in 10 : 3
