got them all 10 right in R1 yay! Thought today was a tad easier than before, and the questions were like more modern too

R2 got 34 I think

Thursday

 

R1:

1+2+3+4+0+1+0+1+2+0 = 14

 

missed:

Two In A Room, Aretha Franklin, Psychedelic Furs

 

 

R2:

1+2+3+4+5+12+7+0+1+2 = 37

 

missed:

Mischa Paris

 

I also thought it was a little suspicious how late some of the round 1 contestant's answers were :thinking: perhaps I am just being cynical though x

 

Round 1: 1+2+3+4+0+1+0+0+0+0 = 11 (missed

2 In A Room, Aretha Franklin, Babybird, The Seahorses, The Psychedelic Furs

)

Round 2: 1+0+0+1+0+0+1+0+1+4 = 8 (missed

Sailor, 'Spirits In The Material World', Guns N' Roses, Simply Red, Mica Paris

)

 

I did know

Babybird and The Psychedelic Furs

in the back of my mind but couldn't recall them, would only have bumped my round 1 score up to 14 though. Hoped I was on for a new personal best after that great start but alas!

Ten To The Top Day 5:

 

R1:

Did poorly, 9 and 12, killed by all the 70s and early 80s questions

but they about one of my fav songs ever

Soho-Hippychick

 

 

find some questions to be too difficult, many about bands that just had 1 little hit and nothing else

I tried this for the first time today.

 

Round 1 - 1,2,x,x,1,2,3,4,x,x = 13

Round 2 - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,x = 45

 

I just got the last question wrong which I used my joker for.

Monday

9 and 28

but questions were hard

especially cos they had for artists that just had 1 little top 40 hit that wasn't even that big back in the day

I mean who recalls

Stakka Bo, Rain Makers, the Dr Tetris one, the Papa Roach one...

 

Papa Roach's 'Last Resort' is absolutely remembered, I hear it all the time even in non-rock clubs. It's a platinum single here too, and has racked up almost 900m streams on Spotify.

Last Resort is def remembered I just couldn’t think of it this morning, said ‘Blurry’ which was the big Puddle of Mudd track of the same era 🤣, agree the questions were hard today. First time I did the new quiz!

Today's doesn't seem to have a podcast uploaded yet so I'll check back tomorrow and do today's and tomorrow's then if they're both up. Have caught up with Friday's which I hadn't done yet though:

 

Round 1: 0+1+2+0+1+2+0+1+0+0 = 7 (missed

Genesis, Loose Ends, Haircut 100, 'Hippychick', R. Dean Taylor

)

Round 2: 0+0+1+2+3+4+0+1+0+0 = 11 (missed

Slade, Rock Steady Crew, 'Son Of My Father', 'Brilliant Mind', Tina Turner

)

 

I actually came across the title of that

Chicory Tip

song very recently but didn't stick with me boo - would have got 21 (or maybe 27 if I felt like using the joker on question 8) on round 2 if I'd got that right!

Looks like I got 14 (1+2+0+1+2+3+4+0+1+0) on Round 1 yesterday

 

Round 1: 15 (1+2+3+4+0+1+2+0+0+2) - didn't get

Alan Price, Randy Crawford, Julian Lennon

 

 

Round 2: 38 (1+2+0+1+2+3+4+5+6+14) - didn't get

Blue Zoo (argh, I knew it was Blue something but guessed Blue Hue)

- edit: got Q3 wrong instead of Q2 so score 7 points fewer than I thought

 

Yikes at the contestants scoring 1 and 3

Tuesday

 

R1: 1+2+3+0+0+1+0+1+0+2 = 10

missed:

Aztec Camera. Alan Price. Grange Hill Cast. Julian Lennon

 

 

R2: 1+2+0+0+1+0+1+2+6+4 = 17

missed:

Blue Zoo. Fergul Sharkey. Shelly Nelson (I could only just about recall her first name was Shelly but that I guess counts for nothing in this game)

 

very difficult today with all those 70s and early 80s questions, only got 13 and 11

really think they should make the questions slightly easier, they are too tough,

not even in the final of the previous show they had questions so hard

 

also it would make more sense if 1-point questions were the easiest, then 2-point questions a bit more difficult and so on

I think they are over-compensating for the contestant who was clearly cheating and making it harder and less time to respond. So most people are getting next to no points now which is silly, the format is just a downer for those that know quite a bit but not everything.

 

Today, due to mostly old questions, I got 65 and 65 (if I allow myself getting

semisonic

just as the racket stopped). Gary Davies is good (we don't need Vernon Kay), doing his best with the format, but Come Back Popmaster Ken all is forgiven!
