Apart from the stinker on Tuesday round 1, this might be my most consistently decent set of scores in a full week to date x

 

Most annoying miss of the week was

Supergrass - I initially wrote that down but then changed it to Manic Street Preachers gaaaah. Was thinking of 'The Love Of Richard Nixon' as opposed to 'Richard III' I guess, but I have no idea why I convinced myself Supergrass was wrong after I knew it in my gut!

And a couple of annoying mixups -

confused Cream with Bread and Shanice with Shannon (so said 'Let The Music Play'). Also got the wrong The Righteous Brothers #1 as I wasn't paying attention to the year oop

. 3 of my wrong answers on Monday were things I should have remembered from SyncTube sessions so that should really have been a 30 & 30, or even 33 & 33 with better year guesses.

 

I got a bit lucky with the

'Save A Prayer'

bonus from Monday because of that song being played on SyncTube today, not sure I'd have got it otherwise :kink:

Alvin Stardust, Stray Cats, Hot Chocolate, Echo & The Bunnymen (couldn't shake off Depeche Mode after mangling 'People Are People' and 'Strangelove' together :lol:)

Round 2: 20? (missed

Corinne Bailey Rae (-3), Dusty Springfield (-6), Shakatak (-3), Little Eva (-6 / -4? another one I almost got right but not quite, I said Little Evie), 'Afternoon Delight' (-3)

)

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Vienna'

) - I should have got

'The Thin Wall'

too, that was a recent discovery for me but didn't come to mind oop, never would have got a third

 

4 years late for the first year.

 

Round 2 was quite frustrating, should have got 30 there - as well as the one that I am giving myself partial credit for,

I did the thing again where I got an answer right with my gut but then changed it for some reason, this time switching from Corinne Bailey Rae to Kelis, was confusing 'Like A Star' with 'Lil Star' but the question did say debut hit so no excuse lol, and I also knew I'd recognise 'Afternoon Delight' as I came across it in a YouTube video recently but alas the title didn't stick with me

. I did also have some luck with it though as I correctly punted on the year and

the Prince / Art Of Noise song

so cancels out a bit x

 

Still, a rare round where I did better than both of the actual contestants!
