As there's only three of us doing Popmaster now, can we agree to no longer use spoiler blocks? As long as we do the quiz before looking at the thread, they're not really needed.

I'm OK to continue with spoilers in case anyone else reading this is inspired to take part

I've taken a bit of a hiatus from this thread but I'm back playing PopMaster again this week, will try and keep up again x

 

Yesterday:

 

Round 1: 21 (missed

Culture Club (-3), 'She's Not There' (-3), 'I Can Make You Feel Good' (-3), 1971 (-3), Status Quo (-6)

)

Round 2: 12 (missed

'Gonna Make You A Star' (-3), Curiosity Killed The Cat (-3), Lonnie Donegan (-6), The Vagabonds (-3), 'Sgt Rock' (-3), King (-6), 1999 (-3)

)

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Addicted To Love'

) - I feel like I remember this being the artist for one of the Radio 2 ones I played and I did the same thing oop xx

 

 

I knew I recognised Lonnie Donegan's voice but didn't connect the dots in time oop!

2 years late on both year questions.

 

Today:

 

Round 1: 24 (missed

Vince Clarke (-3), Fun Lovin' Criminals (-6), 1981 (-3), 'Bad Moon Rising' (-3)

)

Round 2: 24 (missed

ABC (-3), 'Laughter In The Rain' (-3), 'Delicate' (-3), Wings (-3), 'Itchycoo Park' (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Hysteria'

) - second one was a lucky guess at an album title track, but had no idea beyond that - they did have another song from the #1 albums sessions but could not recall it without looking it up

 

3 years late for the first year. Feel like I could have got 33 there,

I knew Vince Clarke and 'Bad Moon Rising' but couldn't recall in time, only Fun Lovin' Criminals that I had no clue on - and it's only after reading Jade's post that I realise that wasn't the 'She Drives Me Crazy' band lmaooo

).

 

Nice clean sweep of the bonus questions on round 2,

Jason Donovan was a complete guess which doesn't pay off for me too often but yay

. And got the final question due to

Jade sending The Creatures to a BJSC spinoff

.

 

been doing TTTT and usually getting one or 2 wrong, sadly not heard Popmaster in ages - cant be arsed to sign up and get yet more pages of email adverts and targeted suggestions about funeral plans. I just want to listen to it on old-fashioned radio!! switch on switch off :teresa:

 

I haven't needed to sign up for anything to play PopMaster! The episodes are freely available here:
